Also Facebook but 🤫

Chinese intelligence has infiltrated so many avenues of the US that they’re considered a hostile nation. I guarantee you’d find Zuckerberg under the same scrutiny if Meta was repeatedly caught hacking into US military and intelligence systems.

With that being said, we should enable nation privacy legislation like the GDPR to protect against this behavior from all services.

I'd be perfectly fine with banning Facebook too. In fact, let's just make the behavior itself illegal, regardless which site engages in it.

While we're at it, let's do something really fun, like making corporate board members legally responsible for their companies actions.

This type of stuff will take forever to get into law, so in the meantime, TikTok can fuck off.

Oh no china is going to steal your new fancy dance move!
