Reply to comment by pants_mcgee in U.S. lawmakers to include ban on TikTok on government devices - sources by thegravity98ms2

Ok, then ban every other privacy outsourcing pieces of social media or technology.

But they won’t! Because they can either get money or the actual privacy information from the other ones. China just doesn’t share. That’s what they don’t like.

They don’t care about you. They don’t care about us.

No. Your premises make sense. But your rationale to "then ban every other..." does not. That's a leap that can be accomplished AFTER we've distanced ourselves from the grasp of China.

It shouldn’t be a specific company banning. There should be laws protecting citizens privacy in general.

Well that's just not going to happen without a fundamental change in our constitution or decades of common law protecting data collection at the expense of privacy.

>It shouldn’t be a specific company banning

It should because it must. Or we get nothing, not even national security. Privacy is a pipe dream. National Security is not.

You’ve got a pipe dream if you think the government is doing it for “National Security”. If China also gave them the data, they would be peachy keen with it.

Speak english bro.

But no, it’s not a pipe dream. Tiktok is turning kids brains to mush, and you know it

Yeah, but I don't like the CCP anyway, so anything that sticks in their craw is a good thing.
