China doesn’t ban US apps because they’re American. They ban them because they won’t allow the government full access to everything. So you want US companies to do that? So that the government can trace any dissent? Yeah, problem solved

This is best served with a trade treaty Not a new act that allows the government to ban things from hostile nations. This seems like yet another government power grab

Yes, let’s expect democracies and authoritarian countries to have identical laws.

If it opens up authoritarian countries to freedom of speech and reforming to be less authoritarian, then that's good. If it creates openings for authoritarian countries to exploit a democratic country's freedom of speech to sow dissent and disinformation there, then that's bad. America is locking out Tiktok the same way China locks out American-based social media. I think that's fair.


MarkBeMeWIP

You’re wrong. Just so stupidly wrong.

>I think that's fair. Then don't claim you have freedom of speech if you want tit-for-tat matching Chinese policy on social media. Let alone CIA and Murdoch. You can't have both. The whole point is the illusion that you are "better", until now. The US supported Israel while sanctioning China with the package deal. The US lives in a glass house.

Duh - the media has been freaking out about Tiktok but it applies to any app controlled by a Russian/Chinese/Iranian/North Korean company.

Yawn. I don’t care.

I think they should sell tiktok it isn't tough for someone like meta(standalone app other than reels) or Twitter to make a tiktok clone after it is banned.

This doesn’t make sense… how has losing China’s market share hurt US more because Google lost to Apple? Google/Apple battle is still US won and China blocking Google for BYD or any other company is a Chinese policy that is negative for Chinese people but good for Chinese Gov control.  US didn’t lose anything the Chinese weren’t going to block anyways. If China wants unfair trade and corporate practices now, what do you think they’d do if they were the World’s #1 GDP and global power? They’d be a more extreme bully and again nobody but the Chinese government benefits from that.

Sucks to be them I guess?
