What is China going to do with my data? Who fucking cares?
Suppress stories about Tiben, Hongkong, the Uyghurs, Taiwan... Hey, whatever happened to Gedhun Choekyi Nyima?
Do you own window blinds?
Sure, but in this case you aren't choosing between "blinds" and "no blinds"
You're choosing who gets peak in your windows. It's either going to be the US or China, and quite frankly, I'm far more afraid of the US because I live here. The US can actually use my data against me. China almost certainly can't.
I wonder if the forces behind the ban blame TikTok for the Pro-Palestinian bent of the younger generations.
I'm confident that this is an element of things, even if indirectly. It's been interesting to see the finely tuned, Hasbara propaganda machine become unstable. TikTok has definitely been a component of that
The whole idea about forcing TikTok to be sold, is that right now TikTok doesn't have to obey any laws.
Who is out there saying this? That's ridiculous. Are foreign people exempt from our laws when they visit? No? Then why would you believe foreign companies are exempt?
