Such blinkered focus on TikTok as the bad guy of the internet derails a much more pressing task
What year is it? All this talk of a TikTok ban makes it feel like 2020 again.
But this time it might eventuate. Last week the US House of Representatives passed a bill that would require TikTok’s China-based parent company, ByteDance, to sell to a US company or face a national “ban”. Time will tell if it will pass the Senate, but this is the closest the US has come to a national ban since Donald Trump floated the idea four years ago.
