I agree get that dumb shyt the fukk outta here. But you have to give the people a replacement at the same time.
Social media is as addictive as a drug...you can't just leave the fiends high and dry.

not the U.S government:rudy:

The US government puts pressure on corporations to act as they wish. Be it through laws like the DMCA or agencies like the FCC. I never mentioned the First Amendment. Stop being dumb.

The government banning an app from public distribution would be unprecedented. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act isn't relevant at all to this matter and the FCC doesn't have the authority to do that. Stop being obtuse.

huawei is banned in america

yes huawei was deemed a national security threat due to their close CCP ties. the U.S didn't want their 5G hardware or any new hardware inside america's telecommunication infrastructure. later that ban extended to huawei phones and U.S companies doing business with them. you can still buy a huawei phone on amazon, ebay , etc. you just won't get any security updates.

I don't see the huawei ban or a potential tik tok ban as being the same. Huawei is largely a hardware company. tik tok provides a mobile app and a service. what does a ban on tik tok entail exactly? will tik tok only be removed from app stores? will ISP's be forced to ban tik tok IP addresses disabling the ability for already in installed apps to connect to the service?

Interesting he's all about freedom and America yet banning all types of activities and business. Slippery slope
