TikTok also answers to the United States if it wants to continue operating here. If Congress passed a privacy bill, TikTok would have to comply like all other social media companies.
Most likely they will comply like Huawei complies--say they are complying but do the opposite.
Sure, which is also how US companies "comply" to European law. At that point fine them or ban them until they sort their shit out.
So "digital fentanyl" is acceptable as long as appropriate privacy legislation has been enacted? It's not an "addiction" problem but rather a "privacy problem"?
