    I’m not convinced having a specific ruling targeting just tiktok would be a good move. I think I understand and side with all the reasons they are doing it: be it privacy, security and more. But they should not uniquely apply to tiktok, but to all apps. If suddenly there’s a Russian app, or a Nigerian app or a swiss app, any which for whatever reasons has security and privacy concerns, they should all be held to the same standards. Me no like double standards.

      It’s never been about data, it’s an awakening of class conscientiousness from people that threatens their existence and power. Now that people can see the lies we’ve always been told about China via RedNote we believe them even less.

    Basically the plan was just to force bytedance to sell the app and the ban was just to make pressure to achieve that goal

    Love how the shit article keeps referring to Tiktoker as kids, as if it’s an app only used by infantile adults.
