    it’s not that tiktok is good, it’s that banning it sets a bad precedent and will be used to justify further control and censorship of the internet

      I’m all for setting a precedent if it’s about banning chinese spyware and propaganda weapons.

      That’s a much better argument than what’s presented in this meme. There’s at least an argument to claim that the difference is about curtailing foreign interest through ownership. Ownership does heavily influence a platform. Unfortunately that hasn’t prevented Murdock from owning more formal messaging platforms.

      On a side note, how do you feel about a handful of corporations controlling and censoring the Internet?
