Yeah, don't have accounts for Tiktok, Twitter, or Instagram. Not installing their apps any time soon. It's more privacy laws that need updating that is allowing these type of data collection to exist in the first place. So it's the laws that need changing if these politicians truly cared about how invasive these apps can be as opposed it really just being about only wanting their domestic apps to be the ones collecting data.
Privacy laws are only as good as the amount they're enforced.
Yeah and the penalties are so trivial it's nothing but a business expense.
