#12Why not regulate how the data is used or stored, like the EU does, but ban? I'm really hoping this doesn't become a reality because if it does, we will end up with partitioned internet and stagnation.

State run apps that are designed to "nudge" and manipulate population at a large scale, should be classified as weapons and banned.
This is not a regular app, but part of information warfare China is engaged in with the West.

They do that but most of the time for the opposite reason. Because their populations might get to know something forbidden and truthful.

The US is known for involvement in the policies of other nations and even organising coups etc. With documented access of the American government into the American tech giants, I don't have reason to believe that Instagram is any different than TikTok. What makes you think that CIA didn't infiltrate Meta or made a deal to manipulate political situation in its friends and foes? What makes you believe that they won't work with Musk to achieve their goals?
The TikTok situation is new for the USA but it's nothing new for the rest of the world.

#17Seems like a good way to lose young voters.
How hard would it be to spin-off TikTok USA into a separate entity?

What doesn't make it a regular app? It's similar looking to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and others to me?

There’s nothing to “start”. Plenty of countries (including China) already ban Facebook and Twitter.

Why not both? It's harder to write, agree on, and pass the regulation that you suggest.
