A weird thing about the takes on the TikTok divestiture bill is how often say it doesn’t protect privacy. Duh, it’s a NATIONAL SECURITY issue.

Similarly the reason Grindr’s Chinese owners were forced to sell was national security not privacy.

@carnage4life Right, but we allow US companies to sell the exact same data to foreign data brokers, do we not?

So the lack of privacy legislation is also a national security issue, but one that's being ignored.
