The court heard oral arguments on TikTok’s bid to block a law that would lead to its ban in the U.S. starting Jan. 19 if it isn’t sold by its Chinese owner.
A sensible approach would have been to regulate data collection and misinformation on social media in general, instead of writing a law that bans one specific platform. But oh well, what do I know.
Money on Zuck been making his own version of TikTok on Facebook. My wife been using it and after seeing my brother use TikTok I could see Zuck and Google both wanting the app banned. So they can push their own short shit clip apps.

Because the government wants the data collection. They just want it to be an american company so they get a copy of it all.
I know, I know. I was just dreaming of a world where they didn’t suck.

That’s just Reels, already on Facebook and Instagram.
It has already happened. Every social media has their own version, they just need TikTok to die.
That sounds great… But then how would hegemony maintain its false narratives about the genocide in palestine, etc?
I’m curious if ByteDance could just create a new legal entity and call it TikTak or something.
