President Biden signed a bill that states if TikTok doesn't cut ties with its China-based parent company ByteDance over the next nine months to a year, it will be banned in the U.S.
I don’t think it’s where you came from but whether you’re a citizen and most importantly if the government can apply regulations and or investigate(and maybe somewhat control) your company. I think Elon qualifies there, though he seems to break rules all the time so I really wish they would.
Do Facebook and Twitter next.
Yes please
Youtube, amazon & ebay then or am I just greedy?
Most of these would be far better off being broken up.
Yes, eBay and TikTok are the same.
I mean, it isn’t a ban. It requires they be owned by Americans. Those others are already compliant, unfortunately.
Twitter is owned by Musk, he’s from South Africa, so we can force him to sell no?

Right, again, this feels more like control by the us gov, and less about protecting its people
