Disagree big time. This is bigger than TikTok, and is just the first domino falling towards even more government overreach and surveillance.

TikTok does what all apps do. They’re just from China. Not really worried. They probably had all that info already.

Some American company is paying for the push to ban, so they can just recreate it and profit instead. Probably Meta.

I don’t really give a shite about what happens to TikTok, but my answer is no.

The bill being proposed isn’t really about TikTok and gives the government more power to decide what’s best for you. Along with criminalizing the use of VPNs.

The problem isn’t that TikTok is stealing your info… It’s that they aren’t sharing it with the US government.

If they want to ban TikTok, I'm all for it. But if they want to do it, they need to make legislation that bans it specifically....not some blanket bullshite that gives the commie feds the power to start banning things they don't like left and right.

This. It's nothing more than yet another slippery slope that will ultimately result in significantly more government overreach and intrusion into people's privacy.

Is there a way to strip TikTok of any intellectual property rights in the US? Basically to allow US companies to replace it.

Seems like something the youths’ parents should be addressing, not the government.

Government needs to address spy balloons flying overhead and international monetary policies that are a threat to America. Let mom and dad raise their kids.

Should have continued to force sale to a non-ccp controlled company (Oracle was chosen by bytedance), but that was racist until it wasn’t.

Anyway it copied Vine, and the ccp has already shown it can control bytedance/TikTok when it wants.

No

People are stupid and don’t even truly understand what they want it banned for.

The real reason there is a push to ban it is because it shows tons of political folks in really shitey situations and shows what happens in DC and any other time they speak or previous stuff they said.

Once it began to show those folks in a bad light, it suddenly was bad
