Hope that shit gets banned.
It won’t be banned. They will divest. Everyone will get paid, and there will be a new set of US-based ownership.
Yes ccp will sell all their secrets
It will be hilarious if the buyer turns out to be Mnuchin, who is a complete fucking boomer
Ok Comrade!
I can’t read the article due to paywall, but whose free speech is being impacted here? Removing a platform does not remove your right to free speech.
170m us users
They can just find another platform. How did they communicate before Tik tok?
They don’t have a strong case
They do have really strong case. It is never in US history that a foreign company owns the media/news. Even though they are not a direct media company. People do get their information there and it could be bias against US’s interest. They will not wait until after to ban, who knows what it would do in the future.
Don’t speak confidently about something you clearly know nothing about. Look up Section 310 of the Communications Act of 1934. There are countless other laws that give the government incredible discretion around establishing national security protections around foreign actors.
Free speech in the hands of Elon and China. Never saw that boomerang back this hard lol.
You should never let your enemy run your communication networks or software. App are like distributed data collection devices that listen and collect. I don't understand why any app made in China is allowed in the US period. Especially since China blocks foreign companies from operating in china... Unless it is advantages the communist party that is (Tesla, Apple)
