If data about users is so dangerous, maybe laws should restrict any such data being held by anyone!

If lawmakers are so worried about the privacy and security of the citizens they represent, perhaps they would be working harder to make the sale of user data to third parties illegal

The fact that the Montana law was ostensibly created to protect children but the state failed to make any reference to protecting children in any of the briefs responding to temporary injunctions is definitely saying the quiet part out loud

colinharter

every argument for the ban in terms of safety, applies for all social media ever.

I would be for a strict privacy law in the US. I don't think tiktok should have access to all of that data but I don't think facebook, google, microsoft, or any of their "trusted partners" should either.

chaosfenix

I agree with the principle that ByteDance is untrustworthy with our data and privacy. The irony that the _American government_ is whining about collecting data on private citizens is profound.

TheFiddleFaddle

I love how all those ‘promotes dangerous content’ examples are so clearly a problem with humans, not with TikTok.

So Tiktok is sketchy, but it's sketchy in a similar way to a lot of tech corporations and apps, data harvesters/traders, and websites, maybe some broader introspection regarding the industry and how laws and regulations even conceive of it is in order...

leviadragon

11:04 - "America lacks a comprehensive data privacy law" Or really anything that benefits consumers at all. It's almost like the US is favourable to businesses and the upper echelons of society...

Feynt

Given the current state of the Supreme Court, whether or not something is constitution is irrelevant.

ptrinch

I have nothing but contempt for TikTok. But ifTikTok is banned or its sale to a politically more desirable owner, what outlet is the next one to be deemed a threat to national security?

TooLateForIeago

3:04 It's technically correct.

Bytedance has Douyin, which is exactly Tiktok but for users in the PRC and its regions.

In 2019 Bytedance disabled access to Tiktok in Hong Kong SAR following allegations of improper data security, which just happens coincidentally during the Extradition Law and Bill protests occurring around the time. Tiktok is delisted in mobile app stores for accounts in Hong Kong, and links to the service is now met with a white landing page.

So... the EU should take a really close look at Facebook, is my takeaway

Martcapt

This is probably not the takeaway Congress wants me to have, but can we have a golden share law too? A 1% tax on all those fortune 500 companies who pay 0 taxes would actually fund our government.

MitchellColbert

Rather than ban TikTok, wouldn't it be more sensible to ban applications which transfer data to/from China from app stores? Bonus: no more hazardous goods from Temu.
