But this doesn't stop anyone from spying on them. Data collection, aggregation, sale, and exploitation is entirely legal so if the Chinese government wants your data they can buy it wholesale for less than maintaining TikTok from Google, Microsoft, Apple, Meta, Discord, and Amazon.

All you're doing is taking a bunch of blubbering buffoon's at their word that this is for your protection.

There's really no upside either so it's really just a waste of time. Millions of Americans without proper medical. Congress sleeps. Short form video. Real shit.

The law isn't specifically for TikTok. Its to allow the US government the ability to ban any foreign owned company.
