I think it is very important that the federal government controls what apps I am allowed to use /s
I believe TikTok is evil. Is the cure worse than the disease? That is a question to me.
Every employee and everyone earning money on Tik-Tok should be required to register as foreign agents.
I’m sure the Supreme Court will agree with you... /s
The Constitution is not a suicide document. Can a foreign entity use the Constitution to its absolute to destroy a country?
What does it mean for America if China can use the literal words of the Constitution to defeat the US and enslave Americans?
Can’t seize property as I understand it
Any decent federal judge will rule against this as will the Supremes
If this is construed as seizing property, obviously we’re talking about Intellectual Property, then it’s a funny irony since China steals over half a trillion $’s in IP from the U.S. every year.
Yes. Next question.
But you can use the powers of government to fairly compensate an owner for his property under the Constitution.
Otherwise, the government could not take property to build roads or infrastructure.
They’re owned by a global investment firm not the CCP
They will have their day in court
what you worried about .. .
It depends upon what the meaning of “is” is.
It’s not a ban of Tik-Tok. It’s a ban on the spying side of Tik-Tok, which is the Chinese control of Tik-Tok.
If the U.S. side gets control of Tik-Tok, then, it stops being a spying app for the Chinese.
The Chinese can keep control of Tik-Tok elsewhere, and continue spying on those who don’t care.
Shou Zi Chew. Be creful what you chew....
Eminent domain.
Exactly.
I am no fan or TikTok and believe they are an agent of the Chinese gov't, but I am not in favor of empowering our fascist gov't to pick and choose what platforms are allowed or not.
Next we will see FR shut down.
That’s for the judges
We will see
I said place your bets. I see this being overturned
Zuckerburg clearly poses a risk as well, we should force him to divest and sell it to a conservative :)
Tik Tok value to China is its power to influence Americans on behalf of its CCP masters.
They will shut it down before they sell it.
It’s good to know that the Chinese are fighting for my rights.
Indeed
Fight = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
