Glad you so simply agree.

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
