Silicon Valley's data collection should worry most US citizens more than TikTok's, yes, totally, 100% agree, break them all up, ban all that crap, burn it all down, yes, I am with you.
... but one hopes data collection concerns aren't the real reasons for going after TikTok, but instead that it's part of tit-for-tat action aimed at getting China to accept and enact more aspects of the bargain for joining the global free-market economy, rather than just the parts that help it. They've chosen "defect" for like 2.5 decades, which I'm pretty sure was basically expected to happen back when they were allowed to join the club, but had better not be tolerated indefinitely.

- spanhandler 6y agoI'd say his actions on Chinese trade have been the closest thing to a coherent policy he's had on anything whatsoever, actually. His other trade actions have been, uh, scattershot, to put it very nicely, yes, and I doubt you could come up with an assessment of his presidency as a whole negative enough that I'd disagree with it.
