    I will be honest, i am fully against tiktok and everything it stands for. It should burn in hell.

    …However, the law the us passed to ban tiktok makes no sense whatsoever. At its core its as bad as china’s grasp on a lot of markets. I believe a more correct way is to ban the practices tik tok does and ban it from federal devices. However, such a law needs more effort and would also get us-based companies in trouble.
    But even then, its a way better solution to the problem

      But then they have to ban their own data mining spyware social media platforms.

      TBH if they’re arguing against the forced sale then they still don’t have any defence against the new laws that shipped alongside it making it illegal to collect and send data to adversarial nations, so that would effectively accomplish what you’re asking for.

      But also, this is very clear as day a Chinese Military Operation, so fuck em and fuck their rights in particular.

      Whether they win or lose their lawsuit I see it as a win for the US Citizens.
