Hmm, sounds like Big God is trying to sell more God.
The big issue is the US trying to ban Tiktok explicity for "national security" without showing the public a shred of evidence. What do you call it when China blocks access to an American app because of "national security"?
Please read the article.
Lawmakers and the White House have justified the crackdown on TikTok by claiming the app's link to Beijing makes it a national security threat. But supporters of a ban have not offered direct evidence of the Chinese government ever attempting to obtain data from the company, nor any proof that authorities there have ever influenced content on the platform used by 170 million Americans.
No, if you eat their food you "Nut Now".
The only problem with that is it would perform logical actions that do not generate immediate short term profits. It might end up implementing 4 day work weeks and remote work, which are proven to increase productivity.
This article from 2024 gives a pretty good rundown as to why using this reasoning to ban Tiktok will set a very bad precedent:
If the govt cared about your data privacy, they would create data collection regulations that they could then use to ban tiktok if/when they violate them.

Disclaimer: I am not saying Tiktok is a great app with zero issues. This is a concern about causing long term problems by using a short term easy solution.
Should I call animal control or the FBI?
