Servers can be moved 2 any location on Earth. The concern is who has access 2 those servers. Give me access 2 something you don't want me 2access, & that's a problem.
I don't use TikTok, so I don't care. 4 those who care, that's a problem.

If the server is within the United States, then the USG has access.
USG has access 2 any server on American soil. That isn't enough 2stop others from accessing them. Even if there aren't transparent ways 4 others 2access these American-based servers, other ways exist. This is true 4 every server everywhere.
The language of the legislation is so broad, the whole internet is at risk of being censored. So even If you don't use tiktok it still has the potential to affect much much more.
Overly broad language in legislation is a genuine problem, & TikTok is the Trojan Horse 4 getting it passed; the app itself is just a nuisance. If getting rid of TikTok means we end up w/ PATRIOT ACT 2.0, then I can deal w/ TikTok staying.
Yes, it's Patriot act 2.0 but much more authoritarian. It has a part in it were if you try to circumvent by using a VPN you can face a fine of $250k up to $1,000,000 and 10 years in jail. It's insane!
