It collect massive amounts of data for the Chinese. In the exact same way that every app collects data for whatever entity created it. It's absurd.

Can you ban the KKK?

Isn't a violation of the Consitution to ban who people can associate with and ban idealogies?

I thought all you could do was like put them on a watch list or no fly list

I've heard it attempts to do some pretty questionable things that you can view if you open it in an iphone emulation.

Regardless, one is a foreign product and the other is a domestic group, which was actually defanged pretty well over the last century.

Make it fucking make sense.
Banning the KKK would actually violate the right of freedom if assembly. An app that is spying for another government is arguably a national security issue.

I dont like tiktok but the idea of resorting to the CCPs tactics of banning apps that hasnt done anything overtly malicious (western apps also track data to the government) I like even less.
Western corporations arent usually as horrific as china. China is worse than north korea at this point and is nearing the levels of nazi germany

The key difference is, it's one thing when it's a private business doing it and it's another when it's a government doing it.

Id think itd be game over if that happened and then having tiktok data would be the least of our worries. Although even in this scenario I dont see them caring about random peoples dossiers from three decades ago.
Hopefully though the imperialist geezers would have died off by then and the more worldly youth would have taken them over and dialed back their nonsense.
Uh huh. Ok.

The difference is that tiktok grabs significantly more information and is much more vigilant about concealing what they are taking and preventing anyone from stopping it.

If you have the tiktok app, anything you have ever copied and pasted has gone to China. You could of course argue that the US does all the same shit and the rights and regulations are mere window dressing, but that would only make the decision to ban tiktok more understandable.
We are in a Cold War with China. Their propaganda game is very strong. There are probably people in this topic that would gladly allow China to keep grabbing up this information in exchange for just making trump look a little bit worse.
