You can absolutely blame a country for doing that actually. What kind of argument is that? People shouldn't be upset when their government does something unethical as long as it's "protecting its interests"?
That's not quite what I meant.
The argument I most often see and is that TikTok should stay because Facebook and Google are just as bad. That's stupid because foreign espionage is obviously worse than domestic espionage to any government.
If your argument is that the TikTok ban is good and Facebook and Google should be next because of the similar practises then I'm 100% with you.
They aren't banning it for privacy issues though. They literally passed a domestic surveillance bill at the same time lol
They want to get rid of tik tok because they can't control the narrative and people are successfully organizing on the platform.
