By the way, the tiktok ban paves the way to ban Discord, League of Legends, Reddit…really ANY internet communication deemed a “foreign adversary” up to the discretion of the US government.

This is also why they want to implement the age verification for porn laws btw. It’s under the guise of “protecting children” but it’s really just setting a precedent for them to be able to control what you see online and monitor what you’re consuming. Oh, and far-right christian puritanism thrown in for good measure.

Reddit and Discord are American Companies.

20% ownership stake from any country we don't like is a $5k per user fine. Very normal.

I'm just curious about how they plan to enforce this ban.

Very important to look at the bigger picture, people weren’t lying when they said we need to prepare for the future. Any sort of communication mass space between people can be compromised if TikTok is banned if it deemed as a “national security threat”

Literally
"What's the big deal, it's just Tiktok"
The big deal is that it sets a LEGAL precedent

@LenoreThalia
It's also a slippery slope for this to impact brick and mortar businesses as well. The government can just be like ope that country is an adversary, you have to sell or close now. Eminent domain 2.0

Insane how many "patriots" are so happy about their free speech being ripped up.

@Aetreiythe
And the fact the government can bring forth “secret evidence” for consideration before the court and that evidence isn’t even seen by the governments lawyers nor is it spoken or written of in any substantive detail in the judgement or even in passing.

There will be no discretion, apples and oranges, tik tok was caught passing info after they were explicitly told not to, chances were given, China did not care.
FAFO.

What foreign adversary controls Discord, or Reddit, or League of Legends?

@disorderlyswine
That TT didn’t roll out the video of Romney and Blinken discussing pro-Palestinian content being the driving factor for a ban, and TT CEO Shou Chew attending the Trump inauguration, it must open the possibility of some other game being in play.

this does set a precedent which can be used in later cases against all of the above mentioned and even more, if we really think about it! fairly dangerous

Please god, let me see a League of Legends ban enforced with capital punishment

I’ve been assuming all along that was the reason the wanted to do it.
