When Trump was saying it was bad, many agreed it was a national security issue. Now the House says let’s ban it and Trump crawfishes, everyone is like “freedom of speech”. You people would definitely eat Trump’s turds if he told you to.

The right to use foreign spyware is not guaranteed by the first amendment.
For any legitimate issues with this bill that do exist, you undermine the argument against all of them with such an obviously dumb take. Don’t be dumb.

That's why this bill probably won't pass the Senate

China is using TikTok the same way we used MTV in the 80's to bring down the Soviet Union, by influencing the youth and culture.
And a lot of you are falling for it.....

Curious, have you used TikTok and if not, how exactly do you think it works?

(B) an entity with respect to which a foreign person or combination of foreign persons described in subparagraph (A) directly or indirectly own at least a 20 percent stake; or
(C) a person subject to the direction or control of a foreign person or entity described in subparagraph (A) or (B).
(2) COVERED COMPANY.—

B: my algorithm doesn't show me any of that. It's quite the opposite actually.

e.g.,
Why is the TikTok app not allowed in China?
Why is the Chinese TikTok, Douyin, not available for download through regular app stores outside of mainland China?
You think the algorithms are the same???

It sets a dangerous precedent either way. FWIW I didn’t highlight this either, it’s out there via other sources. Lots of corporations have bases set up internationally and could very easily be considered a “foreign adversary.”
