I find it funny that if TikTok was sold to an American it wouldn't be a security risk anymore.
because then they'd be subject to all the bullshit the feds do and required to comply.
Like what? What are American companies required to do to protect your privacy that TikTok doesn’t do because they are a Chinese company?
TikTok is not being banned to protect anyone's privacy.
Fine, what national security obligations are US-based social media companies meeting that TikTok/ByteDance is not?
TikTok/bytedance are controlled by a rival country. US based companies can, of course, help our rivals too but there's some degree of separation that makes it a bit harder to address/discover.
The PATRIOT act.
It's not about what they aren't doing. It's something they are doing.
