What a hyperbolic, heavy-handed headline.

Not exactly the same problem. In the same way that gun control doesn't address the problem of hostile foreign militaries. Yes, both involve guns, but the laws and policies that address one are inapplicable and inappropriate to the other.

The law in question addresses the problem of foreign adversaries having easy access to manipulate US public opinion. The law you suggest addresses the problem of advertisers having that access. Both are serious concerns, both need to be addressed, but they are not the same problem and the solutions are markedly different.

This part:

a desperate attempt to keep young people from discussing Joes pet genocide where they can’t be censored by the us govt.

suggests that users are being censored by the US government. Doesn't it?

require every company operating within the US to show users exactly what data is collected and allow them to delete any or all of it as desired

That would be a very different kind of law from the one we're talking about.

That's the opposite of what the court said.

It's almost as if hostile nation states are manipulating public opinion to destabilize western democracies and alliances.

Well, no. The courts struck down Trump's Tiktok ban because he used an executive order that overstepped his authority.

What do you mean?

Tiktok has been a subject of national security concerns since at least 2020.

That's a separate issue that could not be addressed with this kind of law anyway.
