Lol how is it fascism if you could just use your mobile data to access whatever weird social network you want?
Because there is no real Operational Security justification for its ban, that doesn’t instantly catch all US-based social media platforms as well. It’s not about security, it’s about control. The feds have no under-the-table deals or even overt surveillance partnerships with TikTok. They do have that with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and beyond. In fact, the CIA has financial stakes with those companies as well, and often were early sources of funding for them: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/social-media-is-a-tool-of-the-cia-seriously/
Which I guess is fine because the CIA has never been the enemy of the American people, ever.
