When people were up in arms about China getting data from TikTok, I wondered if they had any idea of what the NSA does.
When that was going on, the whole time I was saying that if we ban Tiktok for data security reasons, we should ban Facebook and Instagram for exactly the same reason, and yes, we should ban basically all social media at this point, its all a perfect spying machine, one you get addicted to, beyond hiding in plain sight...
Of course, that's extremely unlikely to happen... but it is an actually consistent position.
We probably should. But the reason for the ban is because they don't want foreign governments swaying the american public; only the US government is allowed to do that.
The sale to a right wing Trumpbuddy proves what I have been saying. The position of the US government is quite consistent: "WE get all of your data."
