US versus China’s Eavesdropping
The U.S. House of Representatives is set to vote next week on an annual defense bill that includes just over $3 billion to help U.S. telecom companies remove equipment made by Chinese firms Huawei and ZTE from American wireless networks.
I may be missing something here: US is spending $3 bn to remove Chinese hardware, but they protect TikTok for the sake of liberty of speech?
I fancy liberty of speech too, but not when it comes from an uncontrollable channel that is owned by non-US entities. While a hardware that you own can be audited, an algorithm that you do not own cannot.
There should not be an issue of liberties, but one of ownership that dictates the interpretation of the Constitution.
Later edit: How many maimed kids do you need to have in hospitals to understand TikTok is malign?
