Topic	TikTok to sue Trump Administration over ban.
Yellow 08/09/20 2:39:24 PM #23:	_AdjI_ posted... Oh, there's no question that TikTok is collecting an absurd amount of data. They haven't however, done anything actually nefarious with it, meaning they're about as much as a "national security threat" as Google or Facebook. Certainly, data collection on that scale is alarming, and it introduces the possibility for those who purchase the data to use it for nefarious deeds, but that's true regardless of who collects it. These concerns should be prompting large-scale regulations on data collection that apply to everyone that operates on American e-soil, not a publicity stunt for Trump to score anti-China points and distract people from his mishandling of the pandemic. There's no doubt in my mind that Trump did this just because he hates China, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad thing. I'm ok with Google using our data because they're under our jurisdiction and they're very transparent about their business model. They provide free services and we provide anonymous data. They don't want to violate that trust because it would be bad for them financially. Alibaba, on the other hand, has no jurisdiction. All companies in China are in one way or another controlled by the Chinese government. They have no privacy rules, no accountability, and can do whatever they want with it. The way I see this is Trump went to his "best people", told them he wanted revenge on Chinea, and they got their lawyers and slapped this together, finding the best legal grounds to get back at China. Imo their legal grounds are good. There's no way Trump understands this lawsuit anyway. I don't expect any politician over the age of 65 to understand, and Trump definitely wouldn't. --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZNqaAh6iLU <cite>Yellow posted [p:943182976] in TikTok to ...
