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 legislation is not an attempt to alter any media company whatsoever. It is about a single company”
Better read it... It gives the president sole discretion to declare any app, platform, or even web hosting a threat to national security.
THIS IS THE PROBLEM...
If you actually believe this is all there is to it I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you...
When has government not abused any and every power given to them?
What's wrong with a "foreign power" controlling "something"? Must America control everything?
.........when you SUDDENLY have “Democrats” unanimously on your side on a substantive bill to pass a questionable bill most likely “something” NOT GOOD is up....
I think this whole subject should be put oh SLOWGO until 2025.............
