Why can't you believe both are issues and be in support of the resolution of both?


The way you would solve both issues is simply have data protection laws that affect all social media companies, rather than singling/discriminating against one company because it's "foreign", and moreover "Chinese".


For sure, we should just have a general data protection law which covers both issues


That's also a copout that liberals spent a few years repeating in Spanish for some reason. TikTok is not at all a problem. The fact that all of your data is already on sale, cheaply, publicly, and legally, is.


You say it's a copout and then you don't explain why. I can believe US data through TikTok is at risk due to CCP origins and I can believe our data is on sale in general. I can also believe that both are an issue.
