    They track the location of people in the US and gather large amounts of data. They didn’t get banned for refusing to spread US propaganda.

      Not to defend tiktok (to this day I have not ever used it), but if the issue is the tracking and data collection, you could ban/regulate that specifically instead of singling out the app.

          Facebook does the same tracking and data harvesting. Is Facebook up to be banned? It isn’t the tracking and data harvesting.

          Person 1: I think it’s because the tracking and data harvesting

          Person 2: that’s an obvious lie (see above)

          You: I think aliens did it
