    You also can’t send the data there or be more than 20% owned by non-US-citizen citizens of those countries.

    TikTok owners have stated repeatedly that they will shut down this Sunday rather than sell.

      Sure, but even if TikTok sold it wouldn’t solve the problem. Hell them not selling also doesn’t solve the problem.

      The problem is that data is gobbled up and sold. Data/privacy protection laws to stop that would be useful.

        I choose to believe a hostile foreign dictatorship means more harm than a hostile domestic for profit business.

        Probably because that aligns with what each of them says they want, to say nothing of their actions.

        Bht hey, if at least one of them gets banned thats a win.
