minus-squareRGB3x3@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·2 years agoRegardless of your opinion on TikTok, you shouldn’t be okay with the government targeting a specific app. Would you feel the same if it were Grindr, under the guise of “protecting children?” How about encrypted messaging apps because the government doesn’t like that they can’t read messages? This whole thing is dangerously close to infringing on freedoms over ideology, rather than just being about foreign surveillance.
