Thank goodness! I don’t know how anyone thinks this isn’t a good idea for America.

Market intervention through administrative measures is never a good thing for any country.

Not sure if sarcastic or not, I'll bite. If tiktok infringes some kind of data privacy laws, punish them. If the data privacy laws of the US are bad, improve them.

But this? Just because some... not so bright soldiers use tiktok to upload videos of their base? What else is there so bad it requires a total ban? It seems like hypocrisy to me, when Meta, Google, X also have similar data available and also don't want to adhere to for example EU laws.

Do you think a Great Firewall of America is a good thing? Because that is what this ruling enables.
