    I agree but X, Facebook and Google wield even more power. Corporations aren’t loyal citizens - no company should have as much power as these companies have collected.

    In this election Elon demonstrated what so many of us have warned about for the past decade with the consolidation of media… and our traditional media outlets are all owned by billionaires (is the NYT guy technically a billionaire - he might just have hundreds of millions) so its not like traditional media will save us.

      I don’t disagree about anything you said. TikTok is just an easier target and a more obvious threat because of its connections to China.

        I would be more concerned about a us corp rather than something that just wants to destroy america

          I wouldn’t. All corporations are bastards - a corporation based in a country with strict government controls is just as much a bastard and may be imbued with additional intent.

          I’m more concerned about privacy from a US Corp, but not the controlling information element. US companies have at least some stake, however small that may be, in there being a US…
