    When Meta sold data to Russia via Cambridge Analytica they recieved the largest FTC fine in history, and that was long before the law was even conceived.

    If the platforms did it today then they should face the full consequences the same as TikTok.

      And where is the proof that something similar has happened? Didn’t TikTok comply with every request of the US government?

      And what about the lack of fact checking on Meta and X. Isn’t this a concern for you that they will spread misinformation even faster now? Where are their fines?

        Didn’t TikTok comply with every request of the US government?

        No. The requirements are listed in H.R. 816 Divisions H and Division I.

        TikTok knows they didn’t comply with them because they made a show of shutting down. TikTok servers are centralized in Beijing.
