“[T]he Government asserts an interest in preventing a foreign adversary from having control over the recommendation algorithm that runs a widely used U. S. communications platform, and from being able to wield that control to alter the content on the platform in an undetectable manner.” Then we should immediately divest Donald Trump and Elon Musk for national security reasons.

From the origins of the divestiture bill, I don't believe that ANY evidence of a compelling nature was presented during the legislative debates of ACTUAL nefarious acts by the Chinese govt. directed against AMERICAN users. I mean, what is the difference amongst these shite US social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, et al capturing and monetizing THEIR users' data, and then targeting them by algos with foul racist, sexist, homophobic, super-violent CONTENT to really mess with people's minds, than anything that China has done vis-à-vis TikTok users?
The Zuck and Elno have made it crystal-clear the direction that they are moving their SM platforms, and if one can raise a serious argument why these changes in accepted "content" are less virulent or harmful than the Chinese government's rôle in TikTok, I'd like to hear it.
The complaint about the "recommendation algorithm" is especially amusing (and disingenuous) when all of the Meta products, YouTube, and likely every other social media app do the SAME THING.
