I wonder how much of the internet outrage about the bill is just astroturfing by tiktok.

    Here... On Lemmy?

    Fuck Tik Tok, ban all social media for all I care, the internet was much better with old forums and IRC.

    Exactly. My problem with the bill isn't banning Tiktok. It's that it doesn't go nearly far enough. Make all social media companies turn off algorithms in their feed, or make them make those algorithms open source so we can see how they're manipulating us.

    As far as I understand it's the media's portrayal of the bill that's wrong, it's not aimed at TT directly but puts rules in place that TT can't respect as long as it's owned by a Chinese company.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, that's what they were saying in Canadian media.

    The bill very specifically names TikTok and its owner, Bytedance, in its text.
