Pro: Tik Tok is way too close to the authoritarian Chinese Communist Party govt - who I rather abhor - and they can use it to vacuum up all kinds of data to who knows what ends.HELENA, Mont. (AP) — Montana became the first state in the U.S. to enact a complete ban on TikTok on Wednesday when Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte signed a measure that’s more sweeping than any other state’s attempts to curtail the social media app, which is owned by a Chinese tech company.
The measure, scheduled to take effect on Jan. 1, 2024, is expected to be challenged legally and will serve as a testing ground for the TikTok-free America that many national lawmakers have envisioned. Cybersecurity experts say it could be difficult to enforce the ban.
Pro: Tik Tok sucks up the lives of our young people in algorithmically driven addiction.
Con: Free speech and liberty to operate a business as anyone, person or corporation (hey arent those the same thing, legally?), sees fit.
Con-fused: as to how a state even goes solo with a law that regards commerce which is inherently interstate.
