Biden Backs Measure Forcing TikTok Sale as House Readies Vote (www.bloomberg.com)

Biden says he will sign the bill to ban TikTok if one passes both chambers apparently. People say well that's because the Chinese government is using it to spy on Americans. Funny, you all don't seem to have a problem with the American government spying on us or Facebook/Meta, Twitter, Google, etc., all doing the same things. You all just hate China because your favorite media outlet and politicians told you to. If China didn't exist, they'd pick some other boogeyman to tell you to hate and be afraid of. Liberals and conservatives in this country are some of the most propagandized people in the world and you don't even realize it.

You hate TikTok because you don't like China.

I hate TikTok because all large centralised social media sites should die and we should return to tiny forums hosted in someone's basement.

We are not the same.

Because they can't force the bytedance to hand over the data like they can with US orgs.

Good point and you're probably right.
