I don’t use tik tok because of the CCP connection. However, I agree with those that say this is just another step to blocking information flow. Today it’s tik tok, tomorrow it’s X.
Banning Tiktok is one thing but how about when it’s decided there’s too much free speech on Free Republic?
I thot one of Trump’s men as looking to purchase it.
The legislation is not an attempt to alter any media company whatsoever. It is about a single company who is beholden to the government and dictatorship party of a foreign power, a dictatorship party that is in control of the customer targeting algorithms the company uses.
The legislation is not after “free” speech. It’s about a opposing foreign power’s control of something.
If focrced to sell to American buyers “free speech” would still be heard/seen on Tiktok, nothing in the legislation presumes otherwise.
The patriot act never used influencers to encourage idiots to swallow tide pods on a dare...Just sayin’
Congress was worried that tik tok was a bad influence on American kids, it wasn’t gay or anti-white enough . Hopefully when an American company buys it we can get some more BLM propaganda pumped into our children’s minds
Dana Loesch claimed yesterday that ‘foreign entity’ (or however it was specifically worded in the bill) was defined elsewhere under federal regs/code and stated that facet wouldn’t be a problem.
However, I seem to recall how the left has an affinity for changing definitions at whim to facilitate their ops.
A ‘ban’ is lazy and does exactly as outlined in the article. Congress needs to cease pleasuring their benefactors and serve the people as intended, or they can burn in Russian fire.
Tiktok allows me to post actual facts about race, youtube and facebook won’t, that right there is why the elite hate it and want it shut down
The Chinese government is collecting vast amounts of data about, freely, about people worldwide. Don’t you think that someday, when necessary, some old posts or photos provide blackmail opportunity to China?
There is a lot of misinformation out there on the Tik Tok Bill, I just read a good analysis of it without the hysteria involved.

That pesky constitution thingy has this thing in it called the..... First amendment...
The fed interfering with the flow of information is a violation... I think
That must be why no-member of The Squad voted for it (7 against and 1 abstain, and Swalwell also voted against it).
