They shouldn't ban TikTok in America - eviltoast

Banning social media is not good and it’s something China would do. What we need is better education. If people want to give up all their data then let them do it, but they need to be informed about it.

    Yes, I can. Even if they’re banned, they can easily get it. Buying that data isn’t exactly an insurmountable amount of money for a state actor. A couple tens of millions? Piece of cake. And also, they’re doing the same stuff everyone else is doing. So if we ban tiktoc guess we gotta ban Facebook, Twitter, etc… to keep the CCP’s hands off the data. And your point about TOS is a good one. Technically they’re not stealing it, hence the quotations. So yes, a ban is pointless. Especially if the argument is data security.
