I feel like this ban WILL start a monopoly. Since Facebook does the same amount or more data mining than TikTok, Facebook will have to be banned alongside Instagram, making YouTube Shorts a monopoly, as there really isn't any other alternatives that are relevant.

This isn't about privacy or Meta and Google would be slapped too, this is just about the newest boogeyman for americans.

Seriously this smacks of McCarthy's grocery list in the House Unamerican Activities Committee.

If there is evidence then they need to show us. We've learned some hard lessons about not trusting our government with this stuff.

They don't care about monopoly. They care about evil China. It doesn't seem to be an issue to strenghten evil Meta and Alphabet.
