If con-gress was serious, theyd ban/restrict any social media that relied on tracking. Or better yet, they'd pass a bill restricting data brokers of any sort ala GDPR.
I agree data brokering of any kind should be completely illegal. I don't think tiktok is only being banned because of china though. I just think it's a bonus compared to bytedance legitimately being a malicious data-harvesting nightmare that also happens to own one of the most mentally damaging social networks of the decade
This is funny, but sadly true... I just told someone yesterday if lawmakers truly cared about all of this they'd ban all social media. Lobbyists and lawmakers will be eating well until then.
China bad whirrrrrrrrr.
