Fair is fair. Need to fire some shots across the bow of our largest economic competitor who basically cheated us out of entire industries in their country. To say nothing about censorship and how their government can single handedly bend the knee of any algorithm of any Chinese app to their will.
TikTok is accused of spreading extremist content and influencing politics, while its popularity among Austrian youth raises questions about what content they encounter when using the app; https://dieTagespresse.com aims to investigate by exploring what young users see upon opening TikTok for the first time.
So is the argument to ban Tik Tok that it’s bad for the Chinese government to take your information instead of having an American Company sell it to them through data brokers? I don’t really understand. Because it just seems like American tech companies are bribing politicians for this
