Lawmakers and regulators in the West have increasingly expressed concern that TikTok and its parent company, ByteDance, may put sensitive user data, like location information, into the hands of the Chinese government. They have pointed to laws that allow the Chinese government to secretly demand data from Chinese companies and citizens for intelligence-gathering operations.
Yeah and I remember when Bush expressed concern there would be mushroom cloud over New York city. Lawmakers saying vague shit isn’t evidence. Hell politicians saying specific shit isn’t evidence without the evidence. We just spent a year debunking half the shit Biden said about the Gaza war because he insisted on straight up repeating whatever lame excuse the war criminals thought up.
dood. they were only vague in their speeches, then the US congess made a very detailed, specific law mid last year. then tiktok ignored some details of it and got a chance to correct it, but didn’t.
That law forced a fire sale of TikTok by name. I wouldn’t follow it either, it’s blatantly unconstitutional. The Constitution very clearly, in plain English, bans the practice of punishing specific people and organizations via legislation instead of the justice system.
This is also like citing the laws against Marijuana when asked for evidence the laws against Marijuana are necessary. Entirely circular. There’s still no evidence there.
do you not have google or bing in china? just search for “tiktok ban reason” and you’ll find articles like this: https://www.nytimes.com/article/tiktok-ban.html

tiktok could have just started a US based company and sell US operations to them for $1. and of course they knew that.
