Bad title, they're just doing what is required by law.

They should just outright ban the app. Will never happen though.

Requiring a usable mobile site could be a compromise.

That's something that should apply to all of them. It's stupid that things like Facebook Messenger don't work on mobile now.

If we ban TikTok, we need to ban every other major social platform as well. They all collect the same data...the only difference is where it ends up.

Seems like they're trying to comply. They know the world does not trust China.

$1.3 billion doesn't sound like a lot, really.
