The statement that this ban won't help is completely wrong though. Passing universal privacy laws will take years, if ever. Banning TikTok has bipartisan appeal. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. Tiktok can still influence people through the feed and collect even more data through the app itself.
Obviously we should work towards a privacy law around this, but this is a reasonable first step to address the most dangerous actor.
I personally don’t care for Louis and he may be a jerk as you suggested, but I try to look at ideas instead of people. Some really bad people have had good ideas. If you follow ideas instead of people, it’s not an issue if you agree with someone on one topic and disagree with almost everything else they have said.
We can ignore that and push for something reasonable. In other industries such as housing construction we have building codes without making housing construction a monopoly. We don’t just let random people build nuclear power plants and then go “if you think it’s dangerous, stop doing it.” People are going to do dangerous things even when they know it’s dangerous. They also know it’s dangerous.
