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.

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?

This bill forces the full sale of TikTok shares to Microsoft. It COMPLETELY alters the most important component of any company, it's ownership!
