FCC commissioner wants TikTok removed from app stores over spying concerns
There are two issues:<p>1) Data collection and algorithmic manipulation. This has been discussed to death, but why you&#x27;d let an adversary control the information flow to a huge portion of the population is beyond me. This is obviously a national security issue.<p>2) Fairness in the marketplace. No, I&#x27;m not talking about the U.S. marketplace. U.S. tech companies have had their IP stolen and unfair regulations placed on them in China. Why should the U.S. let Chinese tech companies compete in the U.S. marketplace when China doesn&#x27;t let U.S tech companies compete in their marketplace?<p>I&#x27;m not going to feel pity for TikTok.
