This is only because of republican propaganda, which they only did because young people did political coordination on ticktok.
I think there are both real and performative concerns being raised about Tik Tok as a platform.
Ideally the federal government shouldn’t be deciding this sort of thing on a per-case basis at all. Pass actual data privacy legislation and force data collection to be transparent and potentially housed in US datacenters that are subject to US regulation. Then if Tik Tok can prove it’s behaving responsibly it can continue to compete on an even playing field with other platforms.
Oh the actual bill behind banning TikTok is a comprehensive platform. It’s complete with super broad language that effectively gives the government the power to shut down any Internet business with little to no warning.
As a hard core liberal, I promptly uninstalled that shit as soon as I saw my first Chinese military propaganda.
