That doesn't explain how gullible someone could believe that this wasn't satire

There needs to be at least some evidence that the American subsidiary of tiktok broke data privacy laws

If they did, they'd be tried under those laws, not some new legislation that allows carte blanche banning without a trial. That should tell you everything you need to know about whether there's any proof of them breaking data privacy laws.

You act like citizens are being handed crack cocaine.

It's just videos. If you don't believe in people having free will to watch videos on the Internet, you don't believe in freedom.

Okay, so shut down twitter, Facebook, Fox News, rebel News, etc. Oh, what's that? You only want to shut down platforms that you disagree with? So "poisoning minds" was just a false projection.

Citizens should be free to choose which social media platforms there wish to use.

Companies are not free, which is why they must operate within the regulations and laws that protect consumers and the nation as a whole.

Banning TikTok only violates the freedom of citizens and does nothing to protect consumers or the nation. Your argument makes zero sense in this context.

Android will push notifications for news articles that you may be "interested" in. I think it used to be called Google Now.

Congress is concerned about theoretical propaganda, but it's a reality in nearly every major news outlet and tech companies, but zero concern when it fits a certain narrative.

I'm Canadian - 2 weeks before the election I started getting about an article per day pushed to my Android phone, for a few days.

This right here - if you ever use TikTok, you really quickly realize why it's so successful. To deny its success is just plain willful ignorance.

I'm Canadian, but so much of the content I consume is from Americans so I hope it stays.

Which is why you linked so much of this proof, eh?

To date, there is no public evidence that Beijing has actually harvested TikTok’s commercial data for intelligence or other purposes.

And, just so you don't flail around with misinformation, we're talking american TikTok data.
