I know not everyone is a fan of the platform for a reason or another but the TikTok ban thing is really saddening to me. Really frustrating it’s ending up this way.

I can't decide if it's modern day McCarthyism or just the government caving to oligarchy. It feels like the government is trying to crush competition for American businesses under the guise of security, hence the BYD and Polestar bans, the Huawei ban, and now the TikTok ban.
Part of the whole pitch for doing business in the US vs China was that the company would be YOURS. No matter whether it's banned or forced to sell it's obvious now if you're too popular here the US will absolutely do the same thing China does. So...yeah, worst outcome for everyone.
