And yeah if they’re blocked in the app stores, and by ISPs you’d have to side load it onto your phone and tunnel out with a VPN. 170 million Americans aren’t doing that. You’d be lucky to find 100,000 willing to do it.
And since even SCOTUS laughed at the espionage argument, we again need to bring up that China just buys the exact same data from Meta, Alphabet, and X. We aren’t securing anything.
Three companies that could easily be regulated to prevent them from selling that data to China, but wasn’t there political interference as well?
Anyway, they can just close their US office and then the US is shit out of luck unless they ban them (since that would be their only recourse at that point).
Sure. But they haven’t closed their US Offices. They haven’t done what X and Musk did with Brazil where they tried to just ignore the local government. TikTok clearly engaged with the system and has gotten a ban for purely political reasons.
TikTok does have US offices and employees though.
