    Actually, when they banned TikTok they also made it illegal for any company to send American data to any adversarial country including China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela.

    In fact, TikTok could just sell to an American Owner at this very moment and continue operating. They didn’t sell, though. Because they don’t operate for profit. They operate for gain as a hostile foreign military asset.

      I’ll take “the conclusion doesn’t follow from the premises at all” for 500 Alex

        Thats the entire point, FaceBook and Google are held to the same exact standard.

        China already blocks those services, btw.
