Are there whataboutism arguments? Yes, many.

Has Chinese intelligence lost access to a treasure trove of US data? Yes.

Are US kids’ already dwindling attention spans going to be saved from exposure to the TikTok algorithm? Yes.

I fail to see how this is a bad thing.

Actually, you're right.

If we consider this normal, it would totally be acceptable for Europe to demand a ban or sale of American ~~spying and propaganda tools~~ social media and streaming platforms. Either way, it would reduce the harm they could do - and in the case of a sale, they'd actually have to adhere to consumer friendly laws.

They probably should. FB and all those other apps suck just as much.
