Thank you EFF. Proud to be a monthly/yearly donor.
So many folks just don’t realize how crucial the work you do actually is. The best money I spend goes to you and the independent journalists I try to help support. ✊

You do realize Human-Trafficking is gonna make it worse by default..

A TikTok ban is all about Israel and their propaganda not sticking. Congress couldn’t care less about your private data and potential manipulation, as long as the Alphabet Boys get the access they want.
If Congress cared at all about the issues they claim, they’d pass data protection and privacy legislation that applies to all. Don’t fall for it.
Gifting TikTok to Steve Mnuchin would only serve to make matters worse-he’s already proven that he’s even less trustworthy than ByteDance/China. Not to mention TikTok learned it all from FB, Amazon, and Google.
TikTok is currently the only major platform left that’s not beholden to the Alphabet Boys and that’s serving as a counterbalance to complete hegemony… the only major platform immune to the censorship/suppression of everything except the U.S. govt’s “pre-approved” narratives. I don’t even use TikTok-but it’s important enough to defend from this kind of overreach. This is a red herring.
