    Are we acting like the US isn’t the biggest surveillance state existing in all history?

    So because there’s one app they don’t control the data on, we need to ban it? Sounds like the free market to me.

      I mean, US TikTok data is already processed by Oracle. And Larry Ellison’s Oracle is a CIA operation. They already control the relevant data - exclusively.

      What they want is all of the data, so that the US can use it to harm national security of other states. It’s projection, as always in US politics.

      It’s also definitively fascist… as always in US politics.
