Look, when you do business in a country, you obey that countries law. If you think the law is backwards and incompatible with your business, you don’t operate there, this is what google, fb did. They CHOOSE to not operate in china because they are not able to meet the requirements.

TikTok has met all requirements to operate based on the us law. It still got banned.

That’s a big difference. If data security is a concern the country should have rules regulate how foreign companies handle its citizens data, and it should apply to all companies.

Completely false. They were told not to send user data to China, did so anyway, got caught, and then continued to do it again.

I'm not from the U.S, so I'm genuinely asking, is there a law that states which countries it can't send data to?

If so, that means that every other foreign app is also illegal?
