Worried about TikTok? Then pass comprehensive consumer data privacy legislation. By reducing the massive stores of personal data collected by all businesses, we will reduce opportunities for all governments to buy or steal this data. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/03/government-hasnt-justified-tiktok-ban

Government Hasn't Justified a TikTok Ban

Freedom of speech and association include the right to choose one’s communication technologies. Politicians shouldn’t be able to tell you what to say, where to say it, or who to say it to.

They only care about Chinese Government control of Tiktok. US control of facebook or twitter is fine.

The specific problem with TikTok is national security—personal data of millions of mostly younger citizens of western countries going straight to a hostile totalitarian state well known for exploiting such data to undermine opposition—not data privacy per se.

There is not much justification to ban TikTok, but this fits the narrative by the US government. A most useful part of the greater power competition between the US and China, of course in the name of national security. There is another information collective tool what is more concerning, it’s called the NSA!

I don't like how the EFF is now glorifying Tik Tok. People are not choosing Tik Tok. People are being coerced because of vendor lock-in. Banning it does not impact freedom of speech and association. The article reads like a propaganda piece written by lobbyists payed by Tik Tok.
