We can regulate TikTok too. For them to sell ads in the US, they are under US jurisdiction.

They ignore U.S. laws. I even believe their transfer of user data to Oracle is an inside company joke. It's always "pending" and the project never finishes.

In the meantime they pilfer our personal data and use it to their advantage.

Then enforce the laws and start fining them for non compliance.

I have a better idea: how about we ban them from the Western world!

They're obviously up to no good and they ignore our laws. We're always two steps behind as they keep promising compliance yet they never do. Once we find them out they come up with excuses and promise they'll behave next time.

Like I said, I believe they're silently making fun of us. Having us run a rat race while they just keep on pilfering our personal info.

Ban TikTok!!

I'm all for banning TikTok if we apply the same rules to our own companies.

If collecting personal info is bad, then let's ban that rather than pick and choose our companies?
