ugh this tiktok ban thing is so performative and unnecessary.
Is tiktok giving user data to an authoritarian government? Probably yes. Is Twitter, facebook, instagram, etc giving user data to an authoritarian government? Also yes.
@cobweb I can't tell if it's a) racism or b) a realization that TikTok is where kids these days organize and an unrealistic hope that banning it will simply prevent us from doing so...
My guess is both.
@cobweb I really wish that more governments would focus on national data protection laws (like in the EU) instead of banning random foreign players that, for all intents and purposes, already collect the same amount of data that most other social media networks based the U.S. already do at the very least.
