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.
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....
Zuckerburg clearly poses a risk as well, we should force him to divest and sell it to a conservative :)
It’s good to know that the Chinese are fighting for my rights.
Indeed
Fight = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
China: Spy platform being taken from us.
Wah!
Alphabet (which owns Google and YouTube) is especially displeased that TikTok is attracting younger viewers from YouTube.
PRC/CCP affiliated companies have access to the user data of American TikTok users:

https://www.socialmediatoday.com/news/tiktoks-still-sharing-us-user-data-china/706093/
And has been evasive about this.
Given that, support the forced sale/walling off of TikTok from a PRC/CCP ownership/access model.
Funny they don’t say which constitution the ban is “unconstitutional” under.
Get out of our country and take the Chinese pork producer with you!
As such, do not see this being overturned in the US Federal Court System.
Am willing to wager with FReepers so inclined to do so.
If people want red China to spy on them thats their problem.
Foreign government agencies cannot sue the USA for freedom of speech
I bet Tiktok won’t be the only company forced to divest if this is found to be constitutional.
I think tik tok should be spun off to an American (freedom loving) company such as RUMBLE/DJT!
Congress didn’t ban speech they banned the importation of a product.
Hey, I'm noTikTok fan, but FREEDOM of SPEECH is infinitely more important than my "feelings" about it.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
