Yup and we will be seeing even less enforcement going forward.

Yes, which is why I am advocating for diversification.

If your livelihood depends on a single company, you exist at their pleasure.

I think it is legal but it risks anti-trust scrutiny.

Google pays Apple tens of billions to be the default iPhone search engine - this seems quite similar.

Meta is asking for exclusivity.

It is important for influencers to diversify across platforms so I don't think this is a good deal.

"Meta has been contacting creators and their teams with deals offering thousands of dollars in exchange for exclusive video content posted to Instagram reels. The payouts described to Business Insider ranged from $2,500 to $50,000 a month and required the content to be exclusive to Instagram for three months."

>Why not call for the dismantling of the global advertising networks in the US

Yes, we should do this also.

It is very difficult - social media giants have very powerful lobbies.

>If this law had impacted all social media equally, I would be a huge advocate.

I would as well and it is unfortunate that we haven't/can't pass such a law. Hopefully someday we can.

I support the TikTok ban in the meantime.

>The US controls Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr, Youtube, Reddit, Snapchat, Whatsapp.

Not in the way that the CCP controls ByteDance. ByteDance cannot win a lawsuit against the Chinese government.

China, Russia and Iran are designated adversaries and will be treated as such.

And I think Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr, Youtube, Reddit, Snapchat, Whatsapp should be also be far more regulated.

Musk won't be in the White House for long.

It got enforced today.

This is an excellent example of a Straw Man argument.

Thank you for clarifying - I disagree with your point.

China is far, far more powerful than Zuck or Musk.

Are you referring to Russia and Iran?

I am saying that but would prefer to state it this way:

Individuals are not equipped to recognized and counter the effects of highly sophisticated influence operations run by adversaries with enormous resources.

They had months to sell TikToc and chose not to.
grajaganDev

Exactly.

And anyone is free to fly to China and have conversations.

Or read the state-run media from China.

These free speech arguments seem to have the prior that TicTok is literally the only communications channel.

I think that this is an example of the Weak Analogy Fallacy.

This seems a bit like splitting hairs.

There is quite a bit of naivete regarding how the Chinese government controls Chinese companies.

It is very different from the US.

ByteDance has agency.

They had the chance to divest TikToc and chose not to.
grajaganDev

I am concerned that our elections could be and have been distorted by our adversaries using TikToc and other platforms.

I am not OK with that.
