“national security”. On Facebook. Okay guys. A better title would be "Zuck offered to completely legally sell their data (yes it’s their’s , read the ToS) to China in a completely legal bid to gain entry into China. It’s not even alleged that he broke any laws.
The real problem is that the US doesn’t have any digital data privacy laws, so ToSs for these services can contain whatever the host wants, and they can do whatever they want with the data. But that will never happen.
Tiktok is considered a National Security threat that must be banned because it will give our data to China. Let’s see if Zucc faces absolutely any consequences. I won’t hold my breath
Doesn’t matter at this point. He’ll pay Trump another 1 million dollars and this news will simply vanish.
So the exact same reason they tried to ban tiktok…except this one actually happened.
sell their data (yes it’s their’s , read the ToS)

What’s a Senate Zuck? Is that the model they use for hearings?

I must look up the legal definition.
Zuck can go suck a fuck!
