Although President-elect Donald Trump could choose to not enforce the law, it's unclear whether third-party internet service providers will support the app.
If the Dems weren’t the Bottom of the couple, they’d go on the offensive and use this ruling to get privacy and data mining sanity installed. Since tech are some of their biggest donors in the last 20 years, that won’t happen.
The perks of having all political power purchasable.
I would like to see that happen. That said, my understanding is that TikTok’s data collection is enough to make other social media platforms blush (at least, it was once upon a time. They probably made it worse since then). That, coupled with China not exactly being the US’s bestie, makes me feel this is at least a start.
You can’t even create TikTok account without installing their app on your phone first. I initially tried and purposefully did not want to have me phone mined, and was unable to register.
But actually the data mining is not the biggest issue even. The biggest issue is that a foreign government (especially since China doesn’t work like other Western countries and directly controls what their companies are doing) has influence over 17 million Americans.
Good. Now do all the other social media companies that are also spying on people and also pushing propaganda.
Oh wait, I forgot that the rest of them are Western companies.
