It makes a lot of sense from the perspective of the US, but a lot of countries will likely have the same debate about not only TikTok, but american social media sites and their influence on their democracies now. Especially giving the timing. Not only is Xitter known to shrug off EU regulations in actively pushing disinformation campaigns but apparently Facebook and Google are joining in too now. All the while there’s a war happening in Europe right now. The EU could make the wise decision to make the same demands to those companies that the US made towards TikTok. For our own safety.
I would appreciate that, as person living in EU
Same here!
I mean, they absolutely should.
Sad how we're seeing people eager to ban software they don't use.
It's the same mentality for those who are cool with banning nicotine but not marijuana. "I don't like it, so neither should anyone else!"
Unfortunately, I don't hold you all above these accusations because I've routinely seen how immoral and selfish the masses are.
