1638900332523659264 | @TomFaller @benhammersley TikTok isn't doing anything different from the rest of social. No one is proposing to ban social. Only TikTok. | 0 |
1638905712033120256 | @benhammersley @Greene_DM If Yandex was as big (equivalently) as TikTok do you not think there be a debate about it? We (as in ‘The West’) end up in wars but we don’t often threaten them or do them on our own volition, since Vietnam-ish. | 0 |
1638903530718216196 | @Greene_DM @benhammersley I am not scared. And it is different as it’s wholly owned by the Chinese government (effectively). That’s like saying what’s the different between Man City and Real Madrid. | 0 |
1638903358806269953 | @benhammersley @Greene_DM Your tweet proves my point, at least we’ve seen them and they are public (bar now Twitter) companies so have responsibilities (to a point) to comply publicly with laws. | 0 |
1638903304355733506 | @TomFaller @benhammersley I am saying you are scared of China, a "closed effective dictatorship" that is a different species from the Gulf money in Twitter, who turned over Saudi dissidents, or the PE money in Facebook, which got FB to turn over evidence of abortion to police hunting women in Nebraska. | 0 |
1638901878506287104 | @Greene_DM @benhammersley I mean you’re just stringing together words to try sound clever, so how about you say what you mean lad, I’m from Yorkshire. | 0 |
1638901684947816448 | @TomFaller @benhammersley Clearly! | 0 |
1638901286195044352 | @Greene_DM @benhammersley I genuinely don’t know what you’re talking about. | 0 |
1638901143593013249 | @TomFaller @benhammersley I understand you're scared of the Red Menace. What nefarious purposes is TikTok being used for, as distinct from other platforms collaboration with other security states? | 0 |

1638906127319482370 | @TomFaller @benhammersley ByteDance is not an SOE. Private investors from Sequoia to SoftBank have a slice. More importantly: If other platforms are sharing health information or political communications with religious zealots or secret police, what is the unique danger posed by TikTok? | 2 |
1638903304355733506 | @TomFaller @benhammersley I am saying you are scared of China, a "closed effective dictatorship" that is a different species from the Gulf money in Twitter, who turned over Saudi dissidents, or the PE money in Facebook, which got FB to turn over evidence of abortion to police hunting women in Nebraska. | 2 |
1639316848452812807 | @benhammersley You can say that again. | 1 |
1638924181378039808 | @benhammersley @TomFaller @Greene_DM The Chinese government can and does tell any Chinese company what to do. Otherwise the CEO just disappears. This happens... a lot. This is, we should agree, does and cannot happen in the USA. | 1 |
1638256540208492564 | @benhammersley @textfiles Oh God. Classic Jeff | 1 |
1638907931730276353 | @TomFaller @benhammersley QSI owns 70% of PSG. The CCP has an office in ByteDance and owns a 1% stake. You do not know what you're talking about. You can't explain how any of this works. You can't provide any facts, just football metaphors. And you're making up military history. This dialogue is over. | 1 |
