See ya, Tik Tok, the CCP-owned spyware so horrid that it’s not allowed to operate on its home turf.
Banning malware isn’t the same as blocking free speech.
@tek It does open the door for more censorship by the US government.
A very dark day for the open internet.
@joeo10 I completely disagree. The government blocked national security malware. I haven’t heard any credible argument that the US blocked specific opinions as opposed to malicious behavior.
@tek How about reading these pieces in this thread from yesterday?

These may not change your mind but understand that this is going to be the beginning of the US targeting services they don't like an that's a chilling effect.
@joeo10 I’ve read plenty from smart people on both sides of the discussion. I don’t think this is the start of a slippery slope. I think it’s something that needed to happen in this specific case.
