The article can't make up it's mind if the FBI has nothing to say about it or no additional information supporting the ban to provide. You know, aside from well publicized instances of the Chinese accessing "private" user data.

Europe wants to have a chat with you and their attempts to force Silicon Valley to split off their European operations to stop NSA mass surveillance. US tech CEOs have repeatedly stated that they will comply with the US government even if it violates EU laws regarding EU user data privacy. And the NSA has been outed several times for spying on European governments.

EDIT: This is shit that you would only learn from reading the European press as American press outlets spins and portrays the data privacy issue as a commercial matter and always censors out the fact that Europe considers NSA mass surveillance of it's citizens to be illegal.

Haha, Not that it matters. You can post your going to commit mass slaughter every day for weeks and everyone who jobs it was to respond to that will be like "If only we had warning signs that could have predicted this."

They don't do shit but put your name on a list that they don't look at until after there a bunch of dead kids or something. Hear the NSA guy reading my post! I don't think you do a good job.

Facebook and Twitter literally do the same exact thing. AMERICA needs actual internet privacy laws, but instead our bullshit politicians wanna go after one platform specifically.

China has your data. With or without Tiktok. China even has their claws in Reddit.

And guess who donates money to the campaigns of these politicians…. Rhymes with Beta and has a competing app to TikTok.

Well yeah, its twofold. Outside of nationalism, you have to remember that Zuck is solid blue democrat so Pelosi and crew need to protect their precious donor. Republicans are racist and hate the chinese anyways so will go for it anyways

Whoa there buddy. Are you implying that US politicians are corrupt? Democratic politicians no less!? That’ll get you downvoted around here with little to no rebuttal.

My downvote was for taking an issue that the public generally agrees on and immediately shoehorning in a way to divide us back up again.
