It's okay when American companies do it

My problem with TikTok is the number of harmful trends that have came out of it >_>

China is the stated reason. The real reason is that it is a massively popular communications platform for demographic that is becoming increasingly politically active and also basically doesn't vote Republican.

This, tbh

Wait, since all bills get reset when a new Congress is sworn in, isn't introducing this bill now a waste of time? I mean, the house never even got to the Daylight saving time bill that was passed in the Senate many months ago.

There's still three weeks or so of lame-ducking to do.

those same "harmful trends" do not show up in the Chinese TikTok feeds. im pretty confident that they are intentionally manipulating the content shown to Americans.

Ehh, I'm okay with this.

Though of course it's just another example of them being accidentally correct about something, but for wrong and stupid reasons.

A) It's a bipartisan bill, so it isn't just 'lol, Republicans'

B) Good, fuck the CCP and their blatant spyware.

This would also be good considering the conspiracy shit that gets spread on there like wildfire in addition to the Zuck getting your info, but baby steps. Can't get everything you want all at once.

For some reason I thought they were talking about twitter. It seemed odd with how twitter has become less biased recently. TikTok does seem to make sense. It is said to have chinese spyware on the app.

No need to ban Twitter when Elongated Muskrat's going to run it into the ground and make it completely worthless anyway.
