Bad title, they’re just doing what is required by law.
They should just outright ban the app. Will never happen though.
If we ban TikTok, we need to ban every other major social platform as well. They all collect the same data…the only difference is where it ends up.
Great, let’s do it! 🙏
It’s not just “the only difference,” it’s the entire point. The population’s data being through the CCP is the entire government consideration of banning the app.
Well, from the EUs perspective, while the US is certainly generally an Ally, it is sometimes a rather tense relationship.
I’d argue, you could describe China pretty similarly, although that would be somewhat disingenuous, as I think EU and US values are more similar than EU and Chinese values.
Anyway, if you don’t want the data of your people to go to some questionable other country, you’d have to forbid US social networks as well.
Do it
Let’s go

Requiring a usable mobile site could be a compromise.
That’s something that should apply to all of them. It’s stupid that things like Facebook Messenger don’t work on mobile now.
For messaging on Facebook without the app: mbasic.facebook.com
It sucks, but it works.
ig is way worse for the population.
$1.3 billion doesn’t sound like a lot, really.
