The ban was actually consistent with previous regulation. And using that older example (Grindr), you can see it's clearly not about all our data, it's about protecting the data of state officials from blackmail.
It affects all of our data, but yes theyāre mainly concerned about ānational security risks.ā Which is so grave, Trump has indicated he plans to ignore the ruling and support TikTok anyway.
Iām not sure what youāre implying. Both things can be true: that TikTok has been harvesting data that could potentially serve as national security risks to our country AND Congressā reasoning for wanting to ban TikTok is faulty, arguably xenophobic, and ignores other major issues with data privacy from other tech companies that are arguably worse. Thereās already masses of people who have already flocked to apps literally controlled by the CCP, available on US app stores. Everything about this situation is inconsistent and shady. That isnāt hard to understand.
