That's the last thing they want. Privacy was the basis that Roe v. Wade was decided on so right wing politicians are against privacy. The people naturally want privacy and Republicans will tell their voters that TikTok is spyware and banning it preserves their privacy. This is how it works now, part of the country is its own reality distortion field and it's pointless to argue with them.

Oh there’s no doubt in my mind that US politics is simply theatrics… who gets the most airtime or columns in the paper… It’s not been about serving the country for decades.

It all started falling to shit once the FCC Fairness Doctrine was abolished in the 80’s. Once that happened… trump/fox et al was almost certain.
