    It doesn’t matter who owns it. It’s the data that the US government is accessing.

    I couldn’t give a shit about TikTok, I’ve never used it in my life. I just think the US should be open and say we are banning this as we don’t have control over it. Sure China is only doing what we are doing but fuck em. I’d respect that.

    Also, it’s got to be about silencing pro-Palestinian rhetoric too.

    If they ban TikTok they should ban FaceBook and Instagram too.
