Wouldn't introducing actual privacy laws be better than censoring part of the internet? I doubt that American social media corporations hoard less data about it's users than Chinese. I am not defending TikTok here, because I believe it's a danger, but this new bill is equivalent to treating the symptoms instead of the cause.



Why do you think that a Chinese company would follow American privacy laws? What will we do to them if they violate these laws?

Also I think a lot of the concern isn’t around privacy but rather control of broadcasting.


This bill isn't intended to benefit the population at large.
