    If the US said “China does not let our companies to operate there so we can not let Chinese companies to operate in the US” I’d be okay for that. Justifying Tiktok ban in the name of national security and privacy what sounds hypocritical to me.

      This makes no sense.

      You’re basically trying to tell your government that until they respect your privacy more you’re perfectly okay with letting foreign agents destroy your country’s tech infrastructure and voting in ways that makes it easier for them to do so.

      This can end with your own house getting incinerated by your own country’s nuclear arsenal because of your own actions.

      Why don’t you let people who haven’t had their braincells rotted away by meaningless cat videos do their job and pass the damn legislation?

        I’m saying that if the US spies other countries with their closed source softwares and hardwares with backdoors they should not cry like babies. US is like “I want to be only one who spies other countries.” That’s my point. Do you think if US would let strong countries to ask Google, Apple, Amazon, Meta to sell themselves to local companies if they want to keep operating in these countries?

          It really shows how much of a child you are when you need to tell yourself the “banning of an app” is crying like a baby. Grow up.

            Because it is what exactly the US does. “Only my companies can spy people and feed me with their data”. Truth hurts right?
