They’d rather shut it down cause they dont want to sell it and let an American company see how they use and abuse it to gather information and manipulate behaviors.
I don’t recall the previous commenter mentioning anything about Facebook. Making a comment that is anti something doesn’t automatically mean they’re pro something else.
Step 1: Feel like getting into a comment section argument
Step 2: Put words in the other guy’s mouth and argue against those
Yes, and they should be shut down too. though the difference is facebook is a private entity and tiktok is a tool owned and operated by the chinese government.
This why I love my username. Cause anyone that has a proper, well thought out retort will provide their proper, well thought out retort.
Jackasses that want to pretend they are still on reddit and have nothing to contribute, however, just love to throw the “hurr hurrr ur usarname r dum cuz u r dum lol me supar smartest” type comments and out themselves.
Especially in the era of autobutcher that thinks you should have typed something different and decides to change it a third of a second before you hit enter.
I’m just gonna leave the false-correction up now, though. Who the fuck cares. Certainly no one with anything actually valuable to contribute.
Maybe they are willing to sell and are just saying this to drive up the price.
Or maybe they don’t want a competitor to have access to their secret algorithm, and threaten them globally. This way they lose only one market.
Another possibility is that they will teach users how to use a VPN, and are confident that enough of their users will do it.
Or maybe they think saying they’re willing to shut down will make some of their users lobby against this bill / organise protests / call their representatives. (This probably won’t work.)
Companies are ultimately motivated by money. They will do whatever underhanded trick they can think up to get it.
As if an American company wouldn’t just pick up where they left off… have you seen Meta? The system needs regulation, not a change in ownership to preferred snoopers.

LMAO, apt name. You do know that facebook, a known disinformation company, is american, right?

Is this the best use of your time?

You’re point?
You’re doing well with living up to your username.

No, I’m not a point. Oh, you mean your point. Funny how you don’t know that, as an American.
Generally these days someone who uses grammer and spelling as an attack kinda automatically looses the argument.

Minor spelling mistake
Unfortunately I’m in your walls now
Burn them all.

They are free to sell to non American companies just fine as long as the new company is not ultimately controlled by the Chinese government.
