Whether it's enabling genocide or banning TikTok, when the vast majority of both sides agree on something you can bet your bottom dollar that it will be, in the long term, bad for America.

Government wants to ban TicToc because it's a huge info share globally ... . And they can't control it like FB or X

Might be time for China to pull the billions of dollars they are about to give Trump if he can't control his House any better than this.

This is not what they are funding Trump Media, and Trump himself, to get.

The Senate, while looking to be more or less in favor of the bill, has expressed some concerns about it. From what I've heard, First Amendment concerns and is the bill too broad as passed by the House?

More like it gives the chief executive power that they would want for Biden, but not for Trump when he gets elected.

Careful what you wish for, morons.

The Tik Tak that we see in the West is nothing like they see in China which is layered with healthy education value stuff for their children. In the west, we only see violence and society falling about stuff. I say ban it and most app companies as they are just garbage stupidity for the publics consumption. Uber is a parasite that allows drivers to not pay taxes but use roads they do not pay to maintain. Their deliver app allows criminals on motorcycles to rob and car jack and deal drugs and guns here in Latin America and they do not pay taxes either. We can do without these parasites sucking on and screwing up our public spaces that they contribute nothing positive for that right.

Tik-Tok is the real China Virus.

This entire TikTok ban is due to so much pro Palestinian content being shared on the platform.

We need to shut people up and get them all eating from the same trough again.

Same reason Elon Musk bought Twitter. It was being use to organize protests and feed people real facts. Then he bought it and destroyed it.

Now it feeds people hate and division.

Why am I not surprised you get your news from Tik Tok.

Question: If Tik Tok were pushing National Socialism, would you be as supportive?

Well, I guess that explains why AOC voted with MTG. If the wingnuts all hate it, it can't be that bad.
