Reginald Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Are the senate, and president going to agree as well, though? Politicians talking about banning TikTok, but nothing happens. It seems like political theater.

It seems like political theater. The senate will and then Biden will be pressured to sign it. If he didn’t the media and the republicans would say he isn’t tough on China 🤷 1
KingWitch Posted March 13 Posted March 13 This is good. I still remember that story of TikTok spying on a British journalist through her cat's TikTok account

When I repeatedly said that isn’t what I was referring to. As I stated that in my original comment.
Communion Posted March 13 Posted March 13 (edited) This is honestly blatant sinophobia. Imagine your government being more concerned your marketing data passed through a server in Shenzhen than if your family has enough money to put food on the table. Edited March 13 by Communion 7 3

Then China should let American owned social media companies to operate in their country then 🤷 why won’t they? 1 1

Why won't the US government allow Facebook as an American company to provide the Chinese government information on when users in China use American social media to plan coups and insurrections? Do you think the US government would be fine if conservatives started organizing a sequel attempted government overthrow to January 6th and the Chinese national government ordered that ByteDance block their US offices from accessing such user data to hand over?

The US government doesn’t care about individual users’ security, it cares about state security. They’ll be fine 1
GhostBox Posted March 13 Posted March 13 I look for the senate Dems to slow walk this bill till after the election. 🤷 not because it’s wrong to pass it but just for the optics. 1

Cesar Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Quote Lobbying campaign flooded offices on Capitol Hill with calls Gallagher says the lobbying campaign that TikTok launched — with push notices using location information to connect users by phone to their member of Congress — proves why the bill is needed. "You had member offices being deluged with calls, you know, teenagers crying and one threatening suicide and one impersonating one of my colleague's sons," he said. "That, to me, demonstrates how the platform could be weaponized in the future." https://www.npr.org/2024/03/13/1237501725/house-vote-tiktok-ban they said the quiet part outloud. they hate how the platform gives people awareness into what their doing.
