What exactly is wrong with the bill?

When it passes by a 300 vote margin, maybe the problem is you?

TikTok is a hotbed of cultural Marxism, socialist propaganda, and anti-western sentiment, all being pushed by the CCP

It is a national security threat and must be divested from China

They will use same precedent to ban free speech platforms, such as X

We all know Tik Tok is a problem. But the bigger problem just became this bill. It now gives the government power to shut down any website (including this one) and any application. That’s why it’s a Trojan horse.

I think the ban is contingent upon the sale of U.S. based TikTok. So Rumble is still in play.

Your unwavering faith in bureaucrats is more than troubling.

Yass gave Trump money so now its bad.

CCP should divest from the American platform, and then there is no problem.

Exactly. Additionallanguage in the bill would allow for the originating apps to be shutdown as well. To me, that alone offered extreme censorship capabilities to the political party in power.

I didn't get this Trojan horse memo. Crazy how all these people all of a sudden started using the same term. Marching orders

People are not against banning tiktok, it's the vaguely worded bill that gives the government the ability to ban any website they see as a threat that's the issue

The good news is if they force the sale of U.S. TikTok the CCP will be forced to purchase our data, like Meta and Google data, through the new TikTok instead of mining it.

I'm more concerned about LifeLog/IG/FB being preinstalled on every fricking phone that Erik Prince doesn't sell, since they're just CIA spin-offs.

But maybe that's just me.

What HHTM espoused in his post is anti 1A. I make no comment on the bill itself.
