RFK Jr to file lawsuit against TIKTOK ban
X ^ | April 27 | Robert Kennedy Jr

Posted on 04/26/2024 11:20:33 PM PDT by RandFan

@RobertKennedyJr

I’m going to file a lawsuit challenging the TikTok ban on Constitutional grounds.

Don’t be fooled — the TikTok ban is not about China harvesting your data. That's a smoke screen. Intelligence agencies from lots of countries, especially ours, are harvesting your data from everywhere all the time.

TikTok isn't even majority Chinese-owned, and the company agreed to put its data behind a U.S. firewall. The Biden administration rejected that deal.

Congress and the administration don't understand that TikTok is an entrepreneurial platform for thousands of American young people. They want to screw them over just so they can pretend to be tough on China.

The TikTok ban is yet another example of how neither political party has any compunctions about sacrificing your freedoms, rights, and choices, when it serves their political interests.

The owner of TikTok says he has no intention of selling his company and will just discontinue it in the US if it comes to that. I suspect he intends to file lawsuits against them shutting it down. Kennedy sees an opening here to pick up the support of young people.

TikTok is stealing information that the Bidens could be selling the Chinese. Can’t have that competition...

There is no ban for TikTok only to sell it to non China connections.

True, and the calls to ban Tic Tock also show the power of the Jewish Lobby.

RFK Jr to file lawsuit against TIKTOK ban

I don't mind TikTok being banned, it should've been done years ago, but I'm wondering how the legislation that was passed is not a Bill of Attainder, or is The Constitution totally out the window now?

Why not ban FR?

The TikTok ban is brought to you by Facebook and Google-shadow banning conservatives since forever.

This isn’t about stealing, it is about profiling.

And if they didn’t need it, as you claim, then why did they waste their time doing it?

it is about profiling.

You gotta come up with a better argument than that.

That’s a pretty big bet that RFK is helping Trump-or your opinion and I’m inclined to agree with it now.

Really? I guess that's why he keeps appearing on conservative forums / shows and pretend to sympathize with a handful of hot button issues to try to peal votes primarily away from Trump? Polling data is starting to bear that out as well.

Why would the guy be RFK’s largest donor and a big Trump donor too?

I try to follow the $$$ and not the polls.

It was confusing that when it became apparent that RFK was going to be on the ballot that the betting odds did not move at all. The rational conclusion is RFK will take roiughly equally from both candidates.

This guy’s backing is a lot more money than anyone is betting on it.

The rational conclusion is that he believes RFK is hurting Trump. I follow the $$$ and it is wrong a lot but not as much as the alternatives.

The Jewish lobby named Zuckerberg who is getting creamed by Tik Tok.

If it was caused by anti Israel content much of the leftist controlled internet would be banned at this point.

不(bù). Those who fail to recognize Tik Tok for what it is are being lured by non-reality. I imagine China is using all kinds of lures to deflect from their activity. When the reality of what they are doing has its dangerous consequences, people will wake up and wonder why we didn’t stop it when we had the chance?

Why not ban FR?

Does the FR gather data and send it to our enemies, like TikTok?

Do you really trust Joe Biden to be benevolent? And he won't use the bill to go after Republicans who's "pro-Putin"? He can do that under this bill. All he has to do is to claim that FR is a threat to national security because we made some pro-Russia posts.
