FUD wins.
It’s better to be screwed over by [YOUR COUNTRY’S] ruling class than [OTHER COUNTRY’S].
Buncha tools, the lot of you.
Everyone keeps saying “Tik Toc ban,” but this is more of a ByteDance ban. If they want to sell off or spin off the business for markets outside of China, they could 100% do that.
The product itself is not the problem.
China literally does the same shit. You can open up production for sales in China but it has to be majority domestically owned.
Not saying that I agree with it but it is kind of funny to see tankies whine about this.
It’s also funny to see “free” market worshipping liberals explain how emulating the CCP’s policies is essential to protecting our liberty
It’s less funny to see the ACLU EFF and Amnesty International get ignored
Most liberals I know are not big fans of the free market…
I don’t like TikTok. As much as I don’t trust social media ran by US companies. I dont like the idea of one ran by a foreign adversary even more.
That said, I’d hate to see the US equivalent of the Chinese firewall come into being because of legislation like this.
