If they had happened to write a good privacy law that happened to prevent most of Tik Tok's abuses, I'd have way less of a problem with it because then US companies who do the same shit would have to follow the same rules. But instead we let Zuckerberg and Musk do the exact same shit without repercussions.

But we have a government that's basically carriage with a steam engine bolted on plus a V8 and also rockets and the thing is broken beyond repair and we just have to wait until most people realize that to get out because they didn't install emergency exits.
