In this video I discuss how the House Commerce Committee voted 50-0 to approve a bill that would force TikTok owner ByteDance to sell the company or lose access to the US market.

In order to prevent it from happening, you would need to create an authoritarian censorship system which realistically will not ban "just that stuff". The scope of what will be banned and "tamed" will ever increase to a point where you will either have your voice silenced or be unable to realize that others have been, others that could have exposed you to blind spots in your thinking and changed your mind for the better or made you aware of the worse. Let the kids do what they want. At the end of the day, it doesn't concern you, unless its you or your kid, in which you simply don't use it/don't let your offspring have access to it while under your roof. That is not a license to interfere in other people's content.

Fundamentally though there’s the bigger question if such a law is legal.

I don't use Tik-tok. However I see this whole drama as the US doesn't like it when others get 'cakes' more than them. A blatant violation of their own values that guarantees freedom of expression.

does the iOS version of the app have such egregious permissions as well, or is that just an Android problem?

@1:15 - That's such a meme dude and untrue. Their tiktok is just as mindless as ours. Yes, it has a ton of educational content but those are mostly livestreams of English classes or Math classes. The mindless "dancing videos" if you catch my drift are still there en masse.

they'd rather lose US market than sell it

[@sultanofsick]

I'm not so sure about that. I don't discount the possibility that they are able to sell it and still maintain what they really want: that sweet, sweet data. Either through an underhanded deal with whoever buys it (if you think they WOULDN'T take payoffs from china out of principle, you're high - it's just a matter of if they think they can get away with it), or just by embedding backdoors/malware to keep collecting until they get discovered and turned off.

[@bernadettritah2188]

Do you know..Bitcoin is on its way to breaking records, getting closer to hitting new high prices, showing that it's gaining more value and could go even higher than we've seen before. This could mean great things for people looking to invest, suggesting now might be a good time to get involved before it jumps even higher. It's an exciting moment that could change the game in general...managed to grow a nest egg of around 1.2Biitcoin to a decent 6.4Biitcoin. At the heart of this evolution is indeko Glenn, whose deep understanding of both cryptocurrency and traditional trading has been instrumental. Her holistic approach to investment and commitment to staying abreast of market trends make her an invaluable ally in navigating this new era in cryptocurrency investment....

This is bit of a bad idea who knows what they will do like the modern ones like meta... let me stress tik tok is owned by a Singaporean not a Chinese but chinas bytedance owns one thats similar to tik tok but it's a Chinese version it doesn't own the tik tok we all know. Glad you told the reason why this is happening is because they can't compete with Chinese companies

[@bewawolf19]

Byte Dance is based in Bejing, founded by 2 Chinese men, 20% of it's is owned by from Chinese investors and is also partially directly owned by the Chinese State along with the issue that there is *no such thing* as a Chinese *Privately* owned company due the unlimited reach the government has over it's businesses as well as mandatory party membership being required for part of the company's leadership (like Zhang Fuping). Where did you get the BS that it was a Singaporean company?
