They did. Divisions H and I of HR 815 of the 118th Congress make it illegal to collect, broker, lease, trade, or sell US Citizen's personally identifying data to an adversarial nation which is defined in Article 10 as China, Russia, Iran, or North Korea.
You're complaining about the law and you literally have no idea what that law says?
Data privacy is so much more than "selling data to China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea." What a weak rebuttal.
So nothing short of a complete ban of all social media and advertising is Data Privacy to you, then?
If only someone gave a shit about the law
The meme references the US violating privacy.
And what does the meme say?
It says the US wants to be the only one stealing your data and spying on you.
As far as I am concerned, the number of people spying on US Citizens is being decreased.
Celebrate that.
The person you’re talking to is deliberately not going to agree with anything you’re saying, fyi.
Yeah for sure, its why I usually stick to short replies.
Because anything longer than a sentence pivoting to another argument and it all falls apart.
It is not.
ignorance is bliss
It would be easy and rational to attribute misinformation memes like this to ignorance, but to be honest I can't help by imagine it is malice.
There's definitely some malice in there i don't doubt, which likely bleeds into the unwillingness to prove one's biases wrong
Haha NO!? We're gonna ban it, and whatever platforms you move to, in a game of whackamole until you pick the "right one", like facebook!
Good luck everybodyyyyyy (starts swinging mallet) /S but also that seems to be their mindset
There are laws, TikTok is almost certainly breaking them.
None that are comprehensive and strong like all the rest of the G7
YOUR data doesn't matter. Information gained from mass analysis of data that is tied to govt workers and military personnel is a security concern and it is treated as such. Nobody cares about your particular data, on either side (well, maybe ad companies, but if you are a tiktoker, you are already fully compromised there).
On the up side for tiktok kids. The CCP will likely order trump to unblock it.
What part of "China is a geopolitical adversary so maybe it's fucking different" is so hard for paint chip eaters to understand?
If the catered ads weren’t so obvious that pretty much most social platforms are stealing your data, not sure what is.
Nothing is free. Especially a ‘free’ account. You are the product at that point.
We can’t afford bread and they’re trying to ban the circus
This was the obvious progression
The real kick in the nuts is that we get to see that the average Chinese can afford groceries and has disposable income for entertainment, and just in general doesn’t have the insane monetary burdens we have here.
The average Chinese citizen doesn't have much access to the internet.
According to this statista article at least 80% of their population has mobile phones with internet access as of 2023. So I'm not sure exactly what you're talking about here.
