Gotta keep in mind this is a ban on ‘state devices and networks.’
If you’re using your own phone with your service, you should be fine.
Don’t know why people are trying to use TikTok on government devices, anyways. Lazy bastards.

Yea in this case I think it’s entirely reasonable. I don’t think any (Ad)Tech software should be allowed on state devices or networks. It’s a security concern whether it’s a company in the USA or a foreign company gathering every ounce of data it can hoover up.
Freedom of speech only applies when you’re being racist or defending nazis.
The regulation in question isn’t about speech; it’s about installing particular software on government-issued devices, when using that software requires leaking the user’s location & personal data to a foreign government.
If that is the case, we need to ban Windows worldwide.
Hmm, not a bad idea in fact, I’m in.
What non-US regime do you suspect Microsoft of leaking personal data to?
The US government is okay with companies leaking personal data to the US government.
Any with the cash to pay M$.
Israel.
Check out stuxnet.
Stuxnet, the anti-nuclear-proliferation worm?
Stuxnet, the joint US and Israel project to exploit multiple zero-days found on Windows to wreak havoc on Iran’s nuclear program.
You seem to be one of the people who think Israel gets to have nukes but not their enemies. Please admit if this is true or false.
No, I’d prefer that fewer rather than more different parties had nukes, because it’s easier for fewer parties to agree not to use them. Would’ve been nice if the Soviets never got them, too, don’t you agree?
Ahh america, never change.
I mean, please do.
And people only care enough to do something when their dopamine dispensers stop working.
