    Stop talking about the data, start talking about the political interference. There’s a reason Trump is against the ban now.

    My data will be stolen no matter which corporation I go with. Frankly, I don’t care which government they’re under. Hell, if I lived in Texas, I’d have to worry if I talked about driving a friend out of state to get an abortion. China wouldn’t care.

    The whole idea about forcing TikTok to be sold, is that right now TikTok doesn’t have to obey any laws.

      Who is out there saying this? That’s ridiculous. Are foreign people exempt from our laws when they visit? No? Then why would you believe foreign companies are exempt?

          You’re right they’re just here. But that presence triggers jurisdiction.

        So what keeps them to obey US laws?

        Ok, let me ask a different question. What can be done when a product from a foreign country doesn’t obey laws? Hint, it is happening on Sunday.

          What laws? We literally just passed a law to ban them. There wasn’t any law they were breaking before. This is the corporate version of Congress passing a bill to send you to prison.

          Saying this is the only regulation possible is breathtakingly ridiculous.

        Funny how you had replied to a comment from me in another discussion explaining what that meant and now you’re acting like you had never seen that comment.

          When I ask that question I’m looking for a source point. Usually when multiple people show up on social media claiming something like this it means some podcaster somewhere put it out there.
