No, the concern is not what people will see on TikTok but what data TikTok is offshoring from their devices to servers in China. It’s a massive surveillance operation.
Now, why would you be trying to dress this up as a free speech issue, I wonder?
I would argue in addition to that, that it is the things you don’t see on tiktok. They censor specific content that is criticising china or portraying them in a bad light. I’m shure there is good content on the platform. But I genuinely do not understand how people can still use tiktok, same as meta platforms (though they don’t censor that much). Do they not know? Or don’t care?
Except they already made Oracle handle all that and they can easily legislate privacy protections without banning TikTok entirely. And, again, it is my right as a citizen to install whatever app I want even if it is spying on me, just like the rest of my apps do. I could film every second of my life and put it up on Facebook or a personal website and the Chinese government could watch it and there’s not a damned thing the US government can do about it.

Sounds like your free speech hasn’t been effected then.
Why don’t you install chinese wechat version ? Oh no you don’t because government like China restriced acces to it.
The point is to protect the mass that doesn’t know they are being spy on, if you want to use it jist grab the apk from internet.
They’ve still been offshoring all data to China in contravention of direct orders to stop. Your right to be a moron doesn’t extend to compromising national security, not sorry.

Some people one, some people the other, some people both.
Why don’t they just ban those data gathering practises, then? :P
