I used tiktok once in my life when it first blew up and i was younger and after that i decided not to use it anymore. I think everyone using it is selling data to get brainwashed. BUT, i think banning a service because its foreign is a very bad idea and sets a bad example. Tiktok wasnt banned for spying. It was banned because it spies for another country. All social media spies. Thats the thing that should change. If social media companies cant spy that means not only tiktok but facebook and the rest would be also banned.
And there it is. The reason they aren’t doing that. Congress is way too invested in American companies which dominate social media and data collection to ever want to put drastic limitations on their lucrative profit strategies. They want an American company to control it so they can invest and profit off of its spying. They don’t care about your privacy; they care about their money and power.
