One of the guys that wrote the bill invests heavily in meta and invested even more in March after putting forward the new bill that recently passed to ban it… But I’m sure that’s TOTALLY just a coincidence lmao. Mike McCaul.
Comment on ByteDance won't sell TikTok, would rather pull it from the US
scottywh@lemmy.world 2 months agoWhich corporation’s profits do you think banning TikTok is intended to protect?
Also, “boomer” is a specific group of people and applying that term to everyone who doesn’t agree with you makes it pretty damn silly and meaningless.

YouTube and Instagram have features that are in direct competition with TikTok. YouTube has even been more aggressive in promoting themselves as the TikTok alternative. On top of that the US has an incentive to keep them (Google and Meta) happy; since the US routinely spies on its own citizens through these companies.
