I understand the “but I like TikTok” crowd, but China bans US companies from operating in China all the time. Why is it all of a sudden a problem when we do it to them?
Where’s the evidence that it’s “counter intelligence” I hear a lot of completely unverified claims that sound like 1950s reds under the bed nationalist hysteria
Sorry, I meant disinformation : Disinformation is a form of offensive counterintelligence via deception and neutralization in order to strategically manipulate an audience or create further fractures in existing divisions. Disinformation strategies include leaking, lying, seeding, and smearing.

Facebook had less than a million users in China before it was banned in 2009. It was struggling against domestic platforms like Webo.
TikTok has 150 million active monthly users and is one of the largest social media apps in the US.
The fact that a counter-intelligence campaign has so many users is exactly why it needs to be banned

Misinformation is counter-intelligence, lots of evidence out there, search “TikTok misinformation”

A. Counter-Intelligence is when you are countering intelligence gathering activities.
B. Nobody has released any evidence that TikTok is an intelligence gathering tool.
C. This law is unconstitutional by the plain text of the Constitution. SCOTUS has truly gone over the edge.
Number of users is not a valid argument on this type of debate

I think tiktok should probably be banned, but I think that “it’s ok because the chinese government does it” is a pretty flimsy argument.
So is the argument now we should act like China? Thought this was America, land of freedom of speech or whatever.
Because US government is weak! Trump will show’em how it is done. If Trump lets Tik Tok to continue to exist then Trump is weak!
