| Thank goodness! I don’t know how anyone thinks this isn’t a good idea for America. |

| Market intervention through administrative measures is never a good thing for any country. |

| Do you think a Great Firewall of America is a good thing? Because that is what this ruling enables. |

| ▲ | yibg 12 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Isn't that the same argument used by China for why the GFW is needed? The US allows all sorts of things that can be argued as net negative (e.g. smoking). | |
| ▲ | yyhhsj0521 12 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | It is not. But not banning it for geopolitical reasons is a net positive for everyone. | |
| ▲ | jMyles 12 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | It is a net negative. Attempts at intervention by legacy states over the evolution of the internet (which will obviously fail on sufficiently long time-scales) are also a net negative. Two net negatives do not make a net positive. |

| Not sure if sarcastic or not, I'll bite. If tiktok infringes some kind of data privacy laws, punish them. If the data privacy laws of the US are bad, improve them. But this? Just because some... not so bright soldiers use tiktok to upload videos of their base? What else is there so bad it requires a total ban? It seems like hypocrisy to me, when Meta, Google, X also have similar data available and also don't want to adhere to for example EU laws. |
