People have learned nothing of the past 10 years of NatSec civil liberty abuses, or even the past 24 years of Patriot Act/WOT abuses.
Allowing Chinese Spyware into America is a matter of natsec
Allowing a president controlled by Russia was also a matter of natsec, they said.
Why would you take complaints of 'spying' by people who are notorious for illegal spying seriously?
True or false test for you
Does China own and control tiktok and redbook?
Is Donald Trump a Russian asset?
One is objectively true and the other is objectively false. Are we just not supposed to take action because it might be abused?
It's owned by a private company, not the Chinese government or a state-owned enterprise. Even if it did, I'd be more concerned about the US security state's endless illegal spying.
The same NatSec professionals who are anti-TikTok say yes.
What I noticed is that the action is completely disproportionate to the claim. So if the app is spying on people, which is what they claim, why not ban that instead of specifically targeting one app? Perhaps because they want to use American apps to spy on users themselves.
