    You literally don’t know how this works.

    This is why politicians say buzz words and people buy into it because they don’t think critically into what this would actually involve.

    Worrying about foreign apps, when Google and Facebook collect as much, or more, is just like jingling keys in front of a baby. It’s a distraction. Go ahead, vote for RFK, let me know what that gets you.

      I’ve been consistent in my stance from the beginning. In my original comment, I already acknowledged that companies like Google and Microsoft collect our data. That’s precisely why I advocate for the release of source codes across the board, not just for TikTok but universally.

      Maybe learn how to read before you start going off about how smart you are ;)

        You think that Microsoft or Google would consent to code review?

        In this capitalist country?

        You’re either severely uninformed or a fool.

          Dismissing the push for openness as foolish shows a severe lack of understanding of the current tech landscape and consumer expectations. It’s not about what they would consent to; it’s about what should be standard practice in a society that values digital rights and privacy.
