Alright, thank you for clarifying that you want more restrictions and laws against these companies, it just seemed odd for you to bring up those other businesses in a post talking about the TikTok forced sale and resulting lawsuit.
I'm just happy about them restricting US Citizen data being brokered to adversarial nations including Iran, Russia, China, and others.
I want the issue of mass surveillance / data collection to be addressed, instead of this bs which is basically working around the edges the problem. Tick-tock shouldn't be allowed to sell (/provide) user data to anyone but neither should Meta, X, reddit, etc.
So you're simultaneously against the TikTok ban but also worried about the lack of privacy for American Citizens?
I can't tell which of the two of us you are referring to.
