Asset seizure over data that mainly contains mindless entertainment? This is a new low for the US as a business environment in my opinion.

TikTok? what's the goal exactly? looks like this goes beyond China, what other laws do they want to pass? China spying on people having fun dancing and cooking!

Should the world ban Swift, Google, Microsoft, Meta, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube? Where is CISCO, CISCO?!

And finally, should the world ditch the USD?

Reciprocity, at what price? :)

I say yes.

Wouldn't you as a government rather control your own citizens through mindless entertainment and algorithms than a foreign government? This isn't about China per se.....

Are we also going to go ban Fortnite and Unreal Engine for producing mindless entertainment from China?

Ban? Nobody wants to ban it - the U.S. wants to OWN the data and have access to it
