For the record - I'm a 100% in favor of an outright ban, not a forced sale, of TikTok.

Since it's not a private company, but a CCP organ, it's a matter of Defense that has nothing to do with private property and speech rights.

This is about not allowing an enemy terrorist organization to camp freely on your backyard in the first place, but also a matter of not FUNDING it with the money of the sale.

Why would you allow any American company to send them hundreds of millions of dollars, so they can simply turn around and use that money to spin another TikTok immediately after?

China also bans almost all American social media. It make no sense they should be allowed to make even 1 dollar in the united states if America can't sell its social media services there.

Obviously a hostile nation controlling what 175 million people see daily on their phones is dangerous.

I'm not in favor of banning or mandating private companies at all.

But yes, in China's case there is no such thing as "private companies" because all of them have CCP militant members on their boards and they all 100% work for the CCP.

So I wouldn't allow basically any CCP company at all anywhere, regardless of what it is they sell.

However you want to word it. Our private companies don't have access to their market. But they do ours. Making it more beneficial to be chinese than American. The job of a federal government is to equalize such enequalties through tarrifs.

Man why are you here? Why do you identify with USA and care about what other Americans use for social media? The whole point of Nostr is to be the ark, you can't save them all, when they don't want to be saved.
