I mean America should shun TikTok for obvious reasons, but this is not the way.
The Montana state legislature voted to ban TikTok in the state. The bill would prevent a company from allowing people in Montana to download the app.

The bill states that the reasoning is because 1) China is an adversary to the U.S. and 2) TikTok promotes harmful behavior and collects data on users.
It was sponsored by a Republican and mostly passed by Republicans. Most Democrats opposed it but were outvoted. It still needs to be signed by the governor, and it would be open to court challenges.
I don't like TikTok, but that's not a promising snapshot for where lawmakers are in terms of software control.

you've been duped. Look into how much of americans data is being siphoned off by FB and T
Yeah, we should probably reject those, too.
I'm talking less about how much data is collected and monetized and more about how are attention is captured looking at an endless scroll of stupid drivel.
