Let’s back up, I think we’re getting hung up on the semantics of the word “fair” here. I’m not asking for “equality”, I’m asking for the passage of rights and regulations protecting United States citizens from everything that TikTok is accused of, and then holding every company operating in the United States to that standard. I don’t want the government cherry-picking which companies they’ll protect us from, I want digital privacy rights to protect me from ALL of them!!! 👇 That’s impartial governing. 👇 That’s fair. Legislation singling out TikTok specifically is a pathetic bandaid solution at best, but I’m afraid that it’s really a dishonest abuse of power, and that it’s precedent will lead to more entities getting banned arbitrarily.
Don’t get me wrong, fuck TikTok, I don’t use it myself, but this legislation is clearly bullshit not written with our protection in mind, and I swear we’re seeing the Constitution erode before our eyes (you know, more than it already has).
