We know that a lot of politicians (and media folks) in the US are pushing to ban TikTok. It has seemed notable, of course, that European countries don’t seem all that worried about TikTok, which sh…

      It just calls to talk from what I can see. Nothing even resembling a legal proposal. And EU already can ban it via DSA which actually protects consumers instead of being magical “national security”.

      Also, EU requires unanimity and not everyone thinks singling out TikTok instead of all corporate social media is the right action. This is not going anywhere in the EU.

        … That’s how things start. You generally talk about things first, you have a conversation, and then you make a proposal. This whole thing seems to be complaining about timing or something. The US went really fast to the actual proposal for some reason, other countries are still talking.

          1. It’s just a call for a talk by the intelligence committee, not an actual talk.
          2. It’s happening on local level in Germany, not the EU.
          3. A bunch of EU countries banned TikTok from government devices, EU banned it from staff member devices, but at no point there was talk about general ban of TikTok under DSA or new law.

          EU has started the process of banning it as well.

          If you have any information to prove me wrong, I’m open to hearing it.

            Again, the start of everything is to talk. That you are not satisfied that the talks are not fast enough, or widespread enough, or whatever doesn’t mean what you are claiming.
