    Tiktok is facing a nationwide ban.

    Nobody said anything about a ban. Just earlier you were implying that being fined for privacy violations constitutes discrimination against TikTok. You’re shifting the goalposts, evidently because you weren’t aware that other similar companies had already faced such fines as well.

        I am, but again, what about it? Now that I’ve pointed out your original fallacy, your continued attempt to stick to TikTok’s impending ban as the focus of our conversation might just constitute a red herring. It was never pertinent to the point regarding TikTok being sued for privacy violations that you were originally trying to make, which is what I was addressing.

            A straw man won’t be of much use to you, either. I didn’t have ‘Bingo’ on the list of things I expected to do today.

            Mockery aside, I hope you’ll come to reflect on my critique and improve your argument-waging skills. Given how it was handled up front, I don’t expect anything constructive to result from deeper engagement.
