bringing receipts on the political dimensions of the TikTok ban.
It’s not coincidental that the most left-leaning social media platform will be shut down and/or likely handed over to a more conservative owner.

✅ TikTok is controlled by a company based in china, who refused to give up ownership in US
✅ The CEO of TikTok is going to be sitting behind Trump at his inauguration
✅ Trump suddenly changed his stance on not banning TikTok after he won the election (and got a large donation)

So I guess I'm particularly unhappy with china having access to that mined data but I would support massive regulation of the digital space in particular. Odd for someone of my background
It's pretty clear however that tiktok is nowhere near the only offender and China not the only hostile entity.
This ban will do nothing for the average person's data security.
But also the moderation stuff is what did Twitter in. It gave people the ability to move from walled in conservative places
