    They’ve been trying to ban it way before that, and during Trump’s mandate.

    This is such a shit take. Just open up an identical competitor that resides on US soil and no one will ban it. The problem is that TikTok is literally Chinese Spyware that is gathering insane amounts of information on US citizens. Read why this is problematic here: https://www.fbi.gov/investigate/counterintelligence/the-china-threat

    Y’all would probably feel differently if Russia owned TikTok and used it to spread pro-Russia propoganda.

    “Broken clock” and all that. TikTok is being banned because it’s a major propaganda arm of a country that’s said for the past 20 years they want to undermine the US. You can argue about the merits of this reasoning, but your “IT WAS DE JOOZ” conspiracy theory is neither as new nor intelligent as you think it is.

          At the bottom of each Wikipedia entry, there is a reference section. It’s not there for show. Use it.

    They should ban meta and Google for the same data scraping for governments
