A fine like that is just “the cost of doing business”.

Tiktok is facing a nationwide ban.

Please dont tell me that was an earnest argument.

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.

You’re not aware that Biden signed the ban already?

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.
