The TikTok Bill has been passed by the House. It is said that it is just to ban TikTok. Here is a link to the text of the bill. Go to Section 3Bii (starts on Page 9) What I read appears to give the President some latitude to designate other apps or companies also. Let me know what you think.

This looks like the bill that will end freedom of speech and the press once morons like sotomayor and roberts get it on the USSC docket.
-
While I agree tik tok is bad, I don’t like the idea of government getting in the censoring business. We can envision this bill being like so many others that start out with good intentions, only to have government weaponize it against citizens. Think Patriot Act.

I think congress has lost its fucking mind on this issue. I expect TikTok will go to court and I hope they win.

The democrats are setting up the republicans with this one, and unfortunately the republicans are taking the bait.
We have an open border, crime rising, out of control spending, and this is what congress is focusing their attention on.
The republicans should be laser focused on the budget and the border, but they are too busy ensuring the loss of the house come November. Pathetic.

I don't like government banning things. Especially those things involving speech. Yes, the Republicans are worthless.
People need to use their own judgment using foreign social media platforms or any social media platform. They're mostly all a scurge.

This is a Uniparty tyrannical grab for control over social media. It’s unconstitutional, violates the First. How did it get this far?
First, the Republicans pushed the idea that it’s nothing but Chinese spyware, sending all our info back to the CCP and turning our young into zombies. They’re not wrong but:
1. Google, Apple, etc. are already giving our data to anyone willing to pay, Chinese included, and also using algorithms that suppress anything that goes against the “approved” messaging. The CCP doesn’t need Tik Tok to brainwash our kids or get all of our personal profiles.
2. Banning any program or “app” as they call them these days, is useless because technology is at a point where we can get around any ban. There are VPNs, or a company can simply rebrand the thing. It’s whack a mole, you will never stop the rise of new computer platforms. Rather than try to control them from the top down, the field needs to remain free and open, allowing the rise and fall of platforms of all types, and allow the market to decide what it wants. Centralized government should not control this just like it should not control what books are published and sold.
And like it or not, east Asia is heavily involved in computer technology. We opened up trade with a communist dictatorship to the point our own manufacturing is largely shut down while we now let them make all our shit and now we’re salty because they made an app that took off in popularity in the west? Just like all their other shit is shipped over here? What did we expect?
The Democrat elite were happy to allow this “right -wing” propaganda to sink into Mom and Pop America. They already had the pro-censorship conservatives on board. They don’t need the Tik Tok-loving woke kids. But old school Democrats also bought it, because a.) they are fence sitters on the Bill of Rights and b.) older Democrats lived during the Cold War and still have remnants of “The communists are coming! The communists are coming!” programming from childhood.
Indeed they are coming, but a stupid phone app is not the danger. The danger is that Marxism has soaked into the West by osmosis after the universities and primary schools were taken over by the left and China is literally buying up farmland, inserting spies into the highest levels of government, and outright paying our corrupt current resident in chief to make him their bitch.
This is the Uniparty taking the opportunity to pass a law opening the door to Federal outright, open, “legal” censorship of all social media, as opposed to the Feds covertly censoring Twitter, Facebook, etc. They were angered when Elon caught them red handed, outed them to us all, and told them to fuck off. (Elon is now a target, just watch.)
Notice the pattern: When the tyranny is defeated in a battle, they learn from the mistake and correct it, smoothing the way for easier wins in the future. They got caught illegally censoring social media and so are now passing a law that will grant them to power to do it openly. Another example: When they realized Mike Pence had the power to refuse to certify the 2020 election (even though he didn’t exercise it), they were spooked by the close call so preemptively took steps to ensure it can never happen by passing a law turning the certification into an empty rubber stamp.
These people are insidious, evil psychopaths. They will stop at nothing to stay in power, including dismantling the Bill of Rights piece by piece.
