RT
Russia and Israel are deeply in bed together. RT has been as cagey about Israeli malfeasance as any NY/DC based publication.
AJ
Americans aren't going to ban the Qatari Paper of Record, even if it does occasionally get one of its Palestinian journalists fed into an Israeli meat grinder. The Qataris lobby our Congress almost as hard as the Israelis do.
TikTok
China Bad. Ban it.

It's time to start taxing the acquisition, retention, and selling/trading of personal data.
Actually, that time was 40 years ago.
ohhh data collection taxation, I like it. You would think it would be a no-brainer but look at marijuana taxation and the continued resistance to rake in all that public funding. Would make most of the controversy around AI disappear if they tax it's collection.
Google and Microsoft would be scrambling to pay off every single person associated with that before it ever hit the first courtroom floor.
GDPR is a start, but we need to actually ban it, not just annoy people until they click Accept at the 20th popup of that tantalising offer to share your details with 1473 trusted data partners.

Bet.
America selectively caring about privacy.
They care about companies they have less control over and a foreign adversary has more control over invading privacy, for reasons unrelated to seeing privacy as a good in itself.

Is tiktok saying that all Chinese apps that steal our data are also stealing our data because they were designed to steal our data?!
I am SHOCKED.
Simply reading the article would reveal how ludicrously incorrect your argument is.

Fine then, ban all the Chinese spy apps
I'd rather they just ban spy apps in general...but that's a "dream a little dream, it's never gonna happen" type of thing.
What about Lenovo, Aliexpress, Xiaomi, Didi (It's famous in latam), BYD, NIO?
Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit....
You can't spy on our citizens, that's our (and our corporations') job!
Signed, the US Government
US tech companies too, you fucking cowards.
Facebook paid kids to install a VPN client on their smartphones so they could intercept AND DECRYPT traffic between competing services (like Snapchat, Amazon, Youtube)
facebook and any other company they acquire (or however they try to rebrand) are not only untrustworthy but active adversaries against common decency and basic privacy
Good call. Let's ban them both.
This thread has made me realize that while I was watching the hearings on it purely for comedy aspect, there were actually people out there being like, "Yeah that makes sense."
Love it when the government takes away our stuff. Please, take away more of our stuff. Love me that security theater.
If you don't like the app, just don't use it. Nationalism is a hell of a drug.
This has nothing whatsoever to do with data security and everything to do with other social media companies lobbying to eliminate a competitor, using anti-China sentiment and fear-mongering as a justification. It's all about the money.
Ban them too.
TikTok literally got people to commit check fraud
TilTok likely got my car stolen (Hyundai vulnerability trended on TikTok)
yes i know a kia owner with a similar story
