It's not that it isn't spyware, it's that all social media is. If the US had a problem with spyware, they would make a sweeping laws about spyware. Not just target one platform. This is racism pure and simple.
Ok, but that has nothing to do with the comment OP’s comment. I agree with what you said up until the last sentence. Racism? Lmfao. So the Biden admin are all racists too? It has nothing to do with race. No nation-state is going to let another nation-state spy on their own citizens. Race has nothing to do with it.
We already had in place Protecting Americans' Data from Foreign Adversaries Act, and the American Data Privacy and Protection Act. These acts prevent companies from giving US consumer data to foreign adversaries. Why did we make another law specifically naming tiktok?
