ALERT: How the TikTok Bill Could Be Used to Target X, Truth Social or Rumble in the Future
Twitter/X ^ | March 16 | David Sacks

@TheChiefNerd

“The bill poses significant risk of being Patriot Act 2.0…There’s no way to argue this language isn’t vague and could invite abuse…An Elon or a Trump or you take Rumble for example, which is also accused of being a Russian agent, they could be forced to divest the company or have it be banned.”

I have been basically saying the same thing. Why does it have to be about anything but tik toc. And why do people think the democrats are voting for it. If it were only about tik toc then not one democrat would have voted for it. It amazing how many people can’t use the most basic logic.

Like the laws being used by NY and NYC being used to presicute Trump won’t be used to attack any one else?

Oh wait they already are.

The Swamp wants to silence the internet the same way it has silenced the churchs.

We’ve done zero to stop CCP

Rolled over every turn

Now this BS and they don’t even majority own it

It’s a segue to twitter X

It’s bullshit

Educate thy self

We’ve done zero to thwart China for two generations

They own our manufacturing and debt

And so on

They don’t even control TikTok

lol yeah right like I believe that. The commie government controls every industry they have and gathers the data. We need tik tok like a hole in he head and it would never be missed except for freeloaders who won’t get a real job. Screw them and screw china

Rats and Rinos spinning their evil plans together once again. The uniparty sucks. They should all be expelled from politics and then expelled from the USA.

You can research facts or just go with inaccurate confirmation bias hunches that suit you

The uniparty is ultimately after the internet that caters to us since that’s all we have considering they control nearly all media

We’ve allowed the Chinese basically everything we shouldn’t have but y’all’s knickers are knotted over tik tok

Which is far less a threat their minority ownership than them controlling our national debt or dominating our manufacturing we’ve farmed out

I don’t think they should be allowed to buy any property in the US so you’re barking up the wrong tree and our state has made provisions to prevent it

Don’t think they won’t try

TikTok is the Avenue

All based on lies as usual

Are these house reps so stupid

60% institutional holders like black rock and gsco

20% employeees who are worldwide

20% the founder a Chinese software engineer

TikTok has thus far done everything asked of them

It’s ridiculous grandstanding at best and chicanery at worst

I don’t care which threat is more serious than the other - they all need to be shut down instead of excusing what you think are less aggregious threat. That’s how we ended up in the mess we are today letting crap go on and on and on. No more that’s it I’m done. I don’t care if if they’re data mining and spying on me with apps or buying farmland or spying with balloons or setting up fake weed farms. No more exceptions.

Or infiltrating our schools and curriculum and fake news media or buying off our politicians and their kids it goes on and on. I’m done tolerating all their crap years and years ago

And if you don’t think China doesn’t control their companies and their top people including billionaires then you’ve been sleeping longer than Rip Van Winkle

This is why the democrats and RINOs are so excited about this bill.

Yep, it's never a good thing when Marxists and wannabe Marxists start rubbing their hands together in glee.

Well, Duh! That’s exactly what it’s aimed at. It’s a lawfare attempt to destroy Elon Musk and X in the same way they are trying to destroy The Donald. Nothing more.

Yep, they want to silence X since you it’s the ONLY platform that the deep state cannot control.

I think they would love nothing more than to take down Trump's own social media site, Truth Social.

This opinion doesn’t recognize the young conservative generation is getting their breaking news from TikTok, because the woke atheist media doesn’t cover conservative news. Please do your research or at least check out the platform before criticizing it.

And trying to ban things is what Democrat control-freaks gone wild do, and that’ exactly what Biden is trying to do! Isn’t that a hint??

TikTok is more conservative than all the other platforms, and more Christian!
