Rand Paul: House TikTok Ban a "disturbing gift of unprecedented authority to President Biden and the Surveillance State"

Conspiracy theorist will always exist, still people posting that planes never hit the pentagon, or that the earth is flat, or that we never walked on the moon, whatever you like.

The conspiracy theorist on this one are just as nutty as most other ones. Those that think this is some power grab, and nothing more, never answer the simple question... Why TIKTOK? There are dozens of social media companies out there, government wanted to power grab, why this particular one? I mean if the government is full of globalists, why would they even want to shut down TikTok? After all they are owned by the ChiComs, so can’t get much more globalist than that... so why TikTok? I mean after all, they tell us Biden is owned by the Chinese, so why the heck would TikTok be the target or a shutdown?

They must engage in cognitive dissonance to hold these various positions.

I have no blind trust in our government, I mean I pointed out quite clearly in my posts, that the fact multi national corporations purchasing up the means of production in countless industries, including food production and heavy industry are a huge direct threat to the US... (unlike these fools screaming about TikTok). Would such an argument as I have made be something made by someone who blindly trusts our government? Hell no.

Honestly TikTok is indeed a threat for many reasons due to its ChiCom ownership, but I wouldn’t put it near the top of the list, the fact our farmland and factories are being gobbled up by foreign companies particularly ones with foreign government ownership, are an incredible threat to the US in the short and the long term. However it is indeed on the list.

Removing these threats should be a priority of any sane government... Yes I know our government isn’t sane, its completely captive to foreign interests and domestic traitors. However, the argument that TikTok is some power grab... by who and for what? If its banned it is shut down in the US, and who’s benefiting? TikTok is a largely liberal/globalist leaning platform.. because those are the idealogical things that will continue to tear this nation down.

Honestly I’d much rather see laws passed banning the foreign ownership of farms, factories and key industries before a ban on TikTok, but that doesn’t mean banning ChiCom owned social media networks from the US is a bad thing.
