Banning companies who share their data with the wrong government instead of them I guess

Most people aren’t gonna download a VPN or sideload an app and try and get on TikTok again. One things for sure, an awful lot of the ones who try are gonna end up downloading malware

I’m fairly certain PETA is funded by the meat industry to discredit animal rights activists

I hate backronyms
