it's not that tiktok is good, it's that banning it sets a bad precedent and will be used to justify further control and censorship of the internet

That's a much better argument than what's presented in this meme. There's at least an argument to claim that the difference is about curtailing foreign interest through ownership. Ownership does heavily influence a platform. Unfortunately that hasn't prevented Murdock from owning more formal messaging platforms.

On a side note, how do you feel about a handful of corporations controlling and censoring the Internet?

I'm all for setting a precedent if it's about banning chinese spyware and propaganda weapons.

They don't want to ban it, they want to seize controll of it and let it operate as is, just with different propaganda now.
