Greg Barns claims that the case should be stopped because it represents an unprecedented attempt by the US to prosecute an individual who is not one of its citizens, and who was not in the US when the WikiLeaks material was published. This is called extraterritorial reach and generally the law frowns on it.
The US and the UK have an extradition treaty that permits this. The UK can withdraw from the treaty, but unless they do this line of argument is willfully dishonest.
I think you're thinking of an open relay, not a catchall mailbox.
The only difference between TikTok and other social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram is that TikTok is Chinese owned.
The law would also appy to Russia, Iran, and North Korea.
The US government demanded access to the US based social media companies to pull whatever sensitive information they wanted. They just don’t want China to have the same access.
Or Russia, Iran, or North Korea.
Social media apps are invasive. Social media apps controlled by adversarial governments are dangerous. This is true regardless of who we're talking about. The pearl-clutching over 'censorship', 'racism', etc. is kind of ridiculous.
Are you saying the Florida law is redundant?
Your sandwiches would be even better if they were eaten by me.
