        Unrelated? We were talking about protecting the public and you are talking about a stupid fucking app where people learn dance moves from.

        Who are you brought to you by? Meta or Alphabet or Reddit or X?

          What does the issue we are talking about (TikTok’s data harvesting) have to do with healthcare? Unless that’s where you get your magic crystal healing tips lmao

            You said it was to protect the public. This is involved in protecting the public. You claim Congress did this to protect the public so I am asking you when your friends are going to really protect the public.

            You can just admit that some Congress people got a cut to do this and it has nothing to do with protecting us against the big bad Asians. While we are on the topic I think it’s fucked up that the government, and it’s internet lackeys, want me to hate the Chinese.

              The pedantry emanating from you is palpable.

              You can just admit that protecting the public comes in many forms and one law won’t fix unrelated areas.

              But you won’t, because you have a hate boner for our shitty oligarchy. You can also pretend like TikTok didn’t have a chance to prove they don’t misuse our data, but chose to exit the market rather than reveal where our data goes. The “cut” you bemoan, if it’s even true, would only occur due to TikTok’s choice.

              But sure, they only passed a law after giving the company a chance to comply so they could get a pay cut. Genius.
