minus-squareMimicJar@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·1 year agoSure, but even if TikTok sold it wouldn’t solve the problem. Hell them not selling also doesn’t solve the problem. The problem is that data is gobbled up and sold. Data/privacy protection laws to stop that would be useful.
minus-squarefinitebanjo@lemmy.worlddeleted by creatorlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down3·1 year agoI choose to believe a hostile foreign dictatorship means more harm than a hostile domestic for profit business. Probably because that aligns with what each of them says they want, to say nothing of their actions. Bht hey, if at least one of them gets banned thats a win.
