“While the previous TikTok ban bill last month saw no movement, the likelihood of the latest bill heading to a vote in the Senate and onto the President's desk has increased because it bundles foreign aid to U.S.-allied countries. Though President Biden has signaled he supports a bill banning the app in the United States, it is ironic that the President's campaign team joined the app earlier this year as part of their efforts to re-elect the President ahead of the 2024 election. ”

The TikTok hearings were the first time I genuinely felt like my country was still racist.

The fact that not a single one of those assholes knew the difference between the nationalities over there, didn’t have a clue how the internet worked, and couldn’t name a single piece of information that the CCP could possibly obtain through TikTok that wasn’t easily gotten somewhere else, just shows what a sham the whole thing is.

Rules for thee but not for me. That’s all this is. They can spy on us far more egregiously, but TikTok knowing I like the funny cat videos and thirst traps is just a step too far.

This is far more likely a scam.

Someone is hand picked to buy TikTok most likely with government strings attached. Everyone will get their cut. I’m sure even the CCP will still have a cut (just a smaller piece of the pie). The “ban” is probably the distraction. The ignorance of our congress is real but also a convenient distraction.

I doubt they have ever used TikTok. They just want to control the media and don't want people disrupting politicians' plans to operate wars.

So they’ll both fund the wars and bad the way Americans have been organizing against the war at the same time?

It's ironic that these two go together.
