> Meta could still turnaround and sell this information to Chinese companies

Let them collect and ban this. Difference between Meta and TikTok is you can prosecute the former’s top leadership.

My preference would be a law that bans some specific activity (i.e. the collection of some set of data that should remain "private"). From there it would be straightforward to establish when an application (like TikTok or Instagram) was collecting this data and they could be prosecuted or their application banned at that point.

This banning of TikTok because of "national security" leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Might the next application banned on these ground be domestic? It's unsettling, in my opinion, to see this precedent set.

As if this would get banned.

That's funny. How big of a check did Zuck just write to the Trump inauguration?
