    Let’s be real the only reason tiktok is getting banned is because the US govt isn’t getting any tax money from all the data being harvested.

    At least with other social media that openly sells your data to foreign countries the govt can collect that sweet sweet tax money to line the pockets of people with too much money as it is.

      It’s nothing to do with tax revenue and everything to do with controlling the narrative through social media. More specifically the fact they couldn’t use TikTok to convince people there was no genocide in Gaza was what kicked all of this off.
