@yon @chikorita157@amausaan.tokyo Agreed. I think if they are concerned about privacy issues, misinformation, and the likes, the government should regulate these social media platforms. Of course, they don't want to do that as it would affect other Big Tech and it's convenient to target TikTok because it's Chinese, which makes it seem more xenophobic and feeds to it. That said, the CCP is very bad for reasons I stated and this ban just feeds into the Anti-Asian racism.

I think the effort to make the CCP obsolete and push the Chinese citizens to stage a revolution to fight for democracy, like what other Eastern Asian countries (besides North Korea) has.

@chikorita157 @chikorita157@amausaan.tokyo Occam’s razor says lobbying.

One thing to remember is that they like to combine truths and lies as well as facts and made up stuff. Get something emotional in there, and then add a whole bunch else in as well.

Security risks are bad (and we’ve had so many in this country I don’t think there’s many secrets left), but the CCP knowing where I drive doesn’t matter as much as if US organizations do. So again noone with secure info should have *any* damn apps on any device unless it’s cleared (especially not spyware that “checks for porn”. That clown should be in gitmo.)

Basically I’m for privacy laws (make all info as secure as under HIPAA and then some), but never ever for going after a singled out company. The law is a thing for a reason.

Same with the CCP. Which simplified is bad, but as usual it’s a long complex set of events that lead to today and there’s no nuance in the debate at all:( I keep seeing CCP bad, therefore <unrelated statement> :(

Racism is racism. Doesn’t matter who is racist to who. It’s still racism. There’s no excuse for being racist, no special card that allows it. And there’s a lot of racism going on right now (including people who declare that they are anti-racist in one breath and then say something hyper racist in the next).
