I’ll tell you a secret you might have missed.
It’s not about the privacy.
It’s about a foreign country of similar power levels having the ability to shape your people’s political opinions.
They’re shitting themselves because it’s one of the first times it’s happened to them instead of them doing it to someone else.
I feel like the American media is out of control and is no longer a tool of the people, but a fire hose of the wealthy, disseminating whatever will help them keep their power.
They have convinced the people that news makes you intelligent, when really the lack of new ideas and differing viewpoints creates a closed feedback loop so they just regurgitate whatever they hear with absolute confidence, but if you ask them a question it all falls apart.
Fox, CNN, New York Times, NPR, it’s all owned or supported in such a way that they dare not bite the hand that feeds it.
So I, for one, am open to hearing what foreign countries have to say.

Of course, why else would China build their country so close to all those US military bases. Such agression

The Philippines: am I a joke to you?

Yes, you probably should listen to some Filipino perspectives on the south China sea.

or in the sovereign country where most of the entire world’s chip supply comes from, but “china needs it more” so we should just let them invade
also, don’t forget all the chinese propaganda about how they’re going to dethrone america and become the world superpower. do they seriously expect to wage a cold war and not have the west respond to that?

If they’re Chinese citizens then they are technically still bound by Chinese law even while living abroad, just as an american or Canadian would be if they were living in another country.
Unless you’re speaking of Canadian citizens that are ethnic Chinese but not citizens of the PRC then I would like so see some proof on these documented Chinese police actions in Canada.
Has everyone forgotten when Zuck was brought before congress and grilled about Facebook? True, the reps merely embarrassed themselves through their own ignorance, but being ineffectual is not the same as hypocracy.
Lol yeah politicians haven’t exactly been abstaining from grandstanding about domestic social media giants.
Xenophobia (from Ancient Greek ξένος (xénos) ‘strange, foreign, alien’, and φόβος (phóbos) ‘fear’) is the fear or dislike of anything which is perceived as being foreign or strange.
Their politicians are geriatric boomers. Biden can barely make sense on his phrases when he speaks. Just let the USA implode
I get tired of people making fun of Biden for being old. It’s a cheap shot with no substance behind it. Oh you found a clip of him stuttering? He’s been pretty open about battling a stutter since childhood.
I think he’s doing a fine job and will vote for him again.
The man played the Republicans like a harpsichord during the debt ceiling stand-off, and people still think he’s dumb? Really?
It’s like picking on a younger sibling.
It’s okay when you, the older sibling, do it. But when a stranger does it, you kick their ass.
To be fair, they haven’t exactly stepped in where the activities of Chinese applications are concerned. They just keep threatening to do so.
See Montana
TikTok is banned on federal devices and on state devices in the majority of states. In Texas at least, this also means you can’t use state university wifi to access the app, even from a personal device.
Now do American politicians when an elementary school is attacked by a gunman.
There’d be nothing for the top box.
Sure there would: when somebody shoots at cops/politicians/businesses/etc.

@Veedems If our freedom we wanna keep. Facebook, Microsoft, BP, Nestlé, and Google we have to kill.
So many people here who don’t understand why people are able to criticize more than one country be like:
A: “Tell me the difference between these pictures:” || xor
B: “They are the same”
Stay for the anime, cum for the hentai.

American politicians don’t need social media to invade peoples privacy. The patriot act sealed the deal a while ago. If they want to spy, they’re going to.
I should also add that the whole tik tok ban is just a way to toss in extra laws that give the America government more control. They say it’s about tik tok, but it’s a scapegoat to get people to vote for invasive laws.
