Because we deserve a little god damn joy in our life without some asshole billionaires paying to eradicate it for their own gain. That's why.
TikTok isn't going away. It's just being forced to be sold off. Yeah, it's for profit, but it already is for profit. You'll still be able to get whatever kind of enjoyment can be had from there. It's just going to be controlled by a US company.
It's not going to sell. It literally can't because of their laws around proprietary tech. They have stated very clearly they will not sell and the people who voted yes knew this before they voted. They voted for a ban.
