   Watch as EFF’s David Greene explains on PBS News Hour how a #TikTok ban in the U.S. could violate First Amendment rights, and why comprehensive data privacy legislation is what we really need. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/how-a-tiktok-ban-in-the-u-s-could-violate-1st-amendment-rights

     Odd how Americans will fight to save something that is rotting the brains of children when China has happily banned:

     Google, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, X and other platforms.

     Good job USA. The amount of self harm Americans will do to themselves is truly Astounding!!!

     yeah i'm unfollowing you #EFF

     i expect "perfect is the enemy of the good" nonsense from random commenters

     but i expect better from you

     #tiktok is a vile obscenity of privacy defilement. nevermind the propaganda and disinfo angle

     and here you are, saying we should go soft on this sh**ty evil thing

     because you want more

     why is this "i stand against this good thing because i want better" such a seductive take for otherwise intelligent people?
