"Tell Congress: Instead of giving the President the power to ban entire social media platforms based on their country of origin, our representatives should focus on what matters—protecting our data no matter who is collecting it.

...It’s a massive problem that current US law allows for all the big social media platforms to harvest and monetize our personal data, including TikTok.

Without comprehensive data privacy legislation, this will continue, and this ban won’t solve any real or perceived problems.

User data will still be collected by numerous platforms and sold to data brokers who sell it to the highest bidder—including governments of countries such as China—just as it is now."
