    Which is somehow even worse : it’s like only the USA is allowed to spy on everyone!

        So you don’t ridiculise your country by promoting freedom of trade but seizing the assets of the countries you don’t like when it’s a better tech than yours.

            our most and least popular politician is a sex predator who earned all his money by his dad dying and is currently at risk of losing his money because he can’t stop lying about things.

            The greatest monument to american shamelessness is Donald J Trump.

          I’m not with my government on a lot of things they do. I want the same data rights and restrictions to apply to all companies that host people’s personal information.

          But what’s this about Impressive tech? Tiktoc? First that’s laughable, even more laughable is how you phrase is as if anyone would give a fuck if another country had some better tech. Sounds like you are projecting your own insecurities.

        It will be just as easy for them, just less profitable. Now they’ll just pay Zuckerberg or Musk for the information. If they aren’t already.

      And it’s not like they can’t maintain use of the thing while not being owners. Come on. Like there’s some magic rule if a company’s not owned by China, it can’t be used as a Chinese intelligence source? Come on.

      If social media is in cahoots with foreign intelligence, there are better ways to handle it in my opinion.

        The fact that China is using disinformation to stop the forced sale of TikTok is pretty telling that they will be negatively impacted by this.
