It's almost like making money is not the primary purpose of this website 🤔
Or ... maybe the US isn't the only country in the world?
Lmao yeah OK 👍. Name any other country.
I have a Geography degree lmao, but also, you're an asshole. I don't even know what you're trying to accomplish with this comment.
he's being sarcastic (im pretty sure)
Your sensing of humour is failing.
Didn't seem like a joke to me, just seemed dismissive and rude. 🤷🏻♂️ People on this site frequently pull this 🤓oh yeah name a whatever🤓 shit unironically, so unless Lemmy gets a culture makeover I'm going to assume people are being assholes.
All that talking and you still ain't even named one other country besides united states. The whole world is united States.
Fwiw I'm not American.
It's not worth anything, your argument was that the US being such a small percentage of tiktoks userbase meant that the American market is only worthwhile to TikTok as a spying tool. Which does not make any sense.
I'm saying that tiktok has other markets in other countries, and the US only represents a small part of their global reach, so of course tiktok would only be a small percentage of their userbase.
I've always wondered what would happen if ByteDance sells TikTok for $5 to a US Citizen who frequently visits China for lavish vacations, and that US Citizen decide to keep all the algorithms the same.
If China has an ulterior motive with TIkTok, can't they just find a US Citizen to carry out their ulterior motive?
No. The bill is quite specific about that.
Yeah same with Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, fox news, CNN, News max, Msnbc and every single other media outlet by that logic. Apparently any company not owned Merica is propaganda too.
