President Biden signed a bill that states if TikTok doesn't cut ties with its China-based parent company ByteDance over the next nine months to a year, it will be banned in the U.S.
There’s nothing wrong with companies informing their customers on how ongoing legislation will affect them.
That being said, I approve of restricting TikTok’s power and influence. I don’t approve of it happening like this. This is a problem for every social media company, not just TikTok. Americans need full privacy protections and transparency behind algorithms that shape their content.
Forcing the sale of one company doesn’t do much but get it out of China’s hands (which… okay fine, this is probably good. We wouldn’t be in this scenario in the first place if congress could do anything to put more control in consumer’s hands in regards to their privacy/content).
I do not want to be slightest of a Meta/Reddit advocate but domestic companies making political statements/actions, although I persoanlly do not agree, is far different from foreign captial, especially considering where the originating country is.
I’m not even US citizen but what they did was really concerning.

Ever seen this? (2014 protest against net neutrality stuff)
