At its core its as bad as china’s grasp on a lot of markets.
The government should be allowed to regulate markets as much as necessary to protect citizens from the dangers of capitalism. Laissez-Faire doesn’t work.
I agree fully, but pushing for a law that basically says “apps from a list of 6 countries are not allowed here unless moved to the us” is a bullshit thing and forces them to give the us more power and control over the data. Hence my comparison.
I believe they should put laws in order a la gdpr to protect users from the data stuff. You know, the actual issue of tiktok.
I agree, but part of the issue is also that this app is operating in bad faith with local laws, so trying to regulate their behaviour is an uphill battle. They just ignore fines or find ways of hiding their bad behaviour better. Obviously they aren’t the only ones that do so, but I’m not going to complain about one shitty company getting what’s coming to them.
Hm, youre right. It is an uphill battle, and its a battle the eu has been trying to fight with big us tech for a few years now. They too should be punished and limited, just like tik tok. There has to be a way to punish them all, without forcing tik tok to become part of the big us tech family that the us can leach off. Its causing a shit ton of issues and problems that this does not solve imo.
Also, they cant ignore fines if you do it right, but the us will never do it right hehe :p
So, lets just kill off data hoarding and data sharing between platforms. Kill all shit like tiktok, meta, twitter, … In one fell swoop.
I’d love to see it, but as I said, I don’t like letting perfect be the enemy of good. Banning Tiktok is a good thing IMO. I’m not going to complain that it shouldn’t be done just because there is more work to do.
