It would definitely empower Facebook, Google/YouTube, and Twitter/X. They are clearly winners in this decision. I don’t use tiktok but I don’t think it should be removed from the app store the same way Huawei was banned in America. With Huawei I can see why ISP’s aren’t allowed to use their products since it’s public infrastructure, but as a consumer you should maybe have the choice to buy their phones. If you want to be dumb enough to let another government organization spy on you, that’s your own fault.
