    What social media platform isn’t a security risk? Goggle knows everyone down to a T, and Meta’s platform has been used overseas for pretty awful things. The US government has not find any instances of information being systematically stolen by TT and send to Chinese government.

    Being concerned is good, being concerned only about tiktok and without actual evidence is leaning into unsavory racial bias.

    Again, shore up data security laws, enforce data security laws, don’t play on racial fear and trample 1st amendment.

        Except you can’t take them all down. And nobody is talking about taking them all down in the US government.

        I am absolutely not in favor of shutting down all social media platform.

        Look at how our maim stream media censoring news coming out of Gaza, it’s hard to imagine the current level of outrage against the genocide being generated without tiktok and Instagram.

        They now serve an important function and that is vital.
