Except they already made Oracle handle all that and they can easily legislate privacy protections without banning TikTok entirely. And, again, it is my right as a citizen to install whatever app I want even if it is spying on me, just like the rest of my apps do. I could film every second of my life and put it up on Facebook or a personal website and the Chinese government could watch it and there's not a damned thing the US government can do about it.

Why don't you install chinese wechat version ? Oh no you don't because government like China restriced acces to it. The point is to protect the mass that doesn't know they are being spy on, if you want to use it jist grab the apk from internet.

Sounds like your free speech hasn't been effected then.

They've still been offshoring all data to China in contravention of direct orders to stop. Your right to be a moron doesn't extend to compromising national security, not sorry.
