    Palantir is the one that should be banned globally.

    I can't help but think there's going to be a push to nationalize the product and award it's ownership or at least control to someone who's going to be equal but different when it comes to being exploitative. Why ban the single most influential propaganda Trojan horse when you can have it for yourself.

    It's a dumb conversation, governments shouldn't and don't have the power to "ban" software. Who cares if people think it's bad. I think tiktok is almost certainly net detrimental to society. Tough luck, so are many things, that's not how government powers have been granted.

    These guys are correct: The Tiktok bill is essentially section 310 of the Communications Act of 1934 but for apps. It’s actually quite sensible.

    Of course TikTok are amateurs that's why they don't deserve to be in that market. Palantir, on the other hand, only processes personal information from half of Europe. /s
