Let's assume TikTok is the mouth piece of Chinese propaganda. Why aren't we doing anything about another mouthpiece that we already got confirmation that it is being used by both our and foreign intelligence.

Is that one accepted because it benefits the president? What kind of leader of free nation would accept something like that?

Just because they talk about it being a free country doesn’t mean much

What’s the math of your time economy look like?

You’re a servant of their economy. Any challenges to that, it’s slower police responses, more austerity, and strongman bashing figurative genitals on TV all day to prove his grit

Why don’t we do anything about it? Because we’re entitled to our stuff!

Technology is just your salon.

The level headed man is the scourge of modern times.

My iPhone is the same as Buffets. I can be distracted the same. I can’t get the same healthcare to stay alive.

That’s the reality of your nation.

What other mouthpiece/personal data sink is on 100 million American devices? You start with the 800lb gorilla not the 10 spider monkeys who are there for support and logistics.
