Then why is the bill about DIVESTMENT of Tiktok from Chinese ownership? The operation headquarters are in Los Angeles and Singapore. I'm beginning to think you don't know what you're talking about.
Lol nice bad faith argument. Fucking Lemmy sockpuppets.
Hey, even if the above is a bad faith argument, this is not a constructive or nice way to bring that up in conversation. Please try to do a better job of communicating going forward. Thanks!
"Chinese ownership" == "CCP control"
The US doesn't want a highly addictive app to be controlled by a potentially adversarial regime... which is still way less than China blocking all "potentially uncontrolled" apps.
