It's all pretend. The US government already controls TikTok. The targeting of TikTok only serves to further entrench the anti-China narrative pushed by the ruling class to manufacture consent for war.

A home is for living in. A person has one body, therefore one home per person/family unit is an appropriate number. Corporations have no bodies, therefore they do not need homes.
Not only is rent robbery, but private property in itself has its origins in theft.
Thanks for the heads up. Their loss really.
I'm with you. I find it really problematic how involved massive corporations are with software that ostensibly belong to the people. Whether that's in terms of dictating development paths, charging fees for SWAS or whatever they call it these days, to outright stealing it and charging money for its simple use.
Yeah, I got called an idiot for pointing out that connection here a few weeks ago.

Even if it's as simple as choosing which Root CA's we want to trust, how many people will know to do that and be able to do that? A couple percent at most.
Of course we need full ownership of our devices, and trusted computing has always referred to the trust of for-profit corporations, but this in itself doesn't help the vast majority of people who either don't know that they're compromised, think they have nothing to hide, are unable to do anything about it, or a mix of all three.
Privacy and security are already a privilege. Proposals like eIDAS only make it even more unaccessible.
Watch the opposite happen.
Nah, they're dropping chat control for something bigger: breaking SSL.
Just the simple fact that Tor was started with a bunch of US intelligence money is cause for concern.
The EU was never designed to be a democratic body.
They tried chat control and got pushed back on, so they gave up on that track and quickly switched to a sneaky effort to break SSL.
Just as previous initiatives were voted down by the people, but forced through the parliament anyway.
The EU exists to protect private property and capital, not to benefit the people.
Only in the imaginary world of US empire propagandists.
