How much do you trust the Establishment in Congress? No, really. Think that question through. Do you trust them more or less than:
I’d like to suggest that your level of trust should be precisely the same for your own member of Congress.
The problem we have is that liberals in Congress are far to the left of even most liberal voters. They overwhelmingly favor the Biden administration’s wide-open borders, which let human trafficking cartels flood our country with unvettable foreigners from the Middle East and Asia, whose ties to spy agencies and terrorist groups are literally unfathomable. But we won’t find that out officially until some of these “diverse” new “Americans” have blown up LAX or hacked the electrical grid from Boston to Atlanta.
The same legislators favor massive foreign aid to the world’s four corners, but won’t spend money to secure our own elections. They backed the phony impeachment of President Donald Trump over charges of “Russian collusion” they knew were partisan and false. They backed up Joe Biden’s story, echoed by bipartisan Deep State hacks, that the scandalous information on Hunter’s laptop wasn’t real, but simply a figment of “Russian disinformation.”
They want to seize our guns, abort our babies up through birth (sometimes after), dose our kids with puberty...

I don’t use tik tok because of the CCP connection. However, I agree with those that say this is just another step to blocking information flow. Today it’s tik tok, tomorrow it’s X.
Banning Tiktok is one thing but how about when it’s decided there’s too much free speech on Free Republic?
I thot one of Trump’s men as looking to purchase it.
The legislation is not an attempt to alter any media company whatsoever. It is about a single company who is beholden to the government and dictatorship party of a foreign power, a dictatorship party that is in control of the customer targeting algorithms the company uses.
The legislation is not after “free” speech. It’s about a opposing foreign power’s control of something.
If focrced to sell to American buyers “free speech” would still be heard/seen on Tiktok, nothing in the legislation presumes otherwise.
The patriot act never used influencers to encourage idiots to swallow tide pods on a dare...Just sayin’
Congress was worried that tik tok was a bad influence on American kids, it wasn’t gay or anti-white enough . Hopefully when an American company buys it we can get some more BLM propaganda pumped into our children’s minds
Dana Loesch claimed yesterday that ‘foreign entity’ (or however it was specifically worded in the bill) was defined elsewhere under federal regs/code and stated that facet wouldn’t be a problem.
However, I seem to recall how the left has an affinity for changing definitions at whim to facilitate their ops.
A ‘ban’ is lazy and does exactly as outlined in the article. Congress needs to cease pleasuring their benefactors and serve the people as intended, or they can burn in Russian fire.
“The legislation is not an attempt to alter any media company whatsoever. It is about a single company”
Better read it... It gives the president sole discretion to declare any app, platform, or even web hosting a threat to national security.
THIS IS THE PROBLEM...
If you actually believe this is all there is to it I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you...
When has government not abused any and every power given to them?
Just planted the seeds that eventually led to a system that targeted an American citizen who wanted to Make America Great Again
Tiktok allows me to post actual facts about race, youtube and facebook won’t, that right there is why the elite hate it and want it shut down
What's wrong with a "foreign power" controlling "something"? Must America control everything?
The Chinese government is collecting vast amounts of data about, freely, about people worldwide. Don’t you think that someday, when necessary, some old posts or photos provide blackmail opportunity to China?
“It’s about a opposing foreign power’s control of something.”
Nonsense. It’s not about just any foreign power, It’s the particular foreign power. The demand would not be being made if TikTok were a Japanese, South Korean, UK, French, German, Italian (western) company. It’s not. And the dictatorship of the CCP has too much control of TikTok. Trump did the same thing with Huewei - the top CCP cell phone company.
“Banning Tiktok is one thing but how about when it’s decided there’s too much free speech on Free Republic?”
Exactly right. Or too much God on Christian sites.
This gives the president sole power to decide what can be on the internet using national security as the excuse.
Then on to Free Republic.
There is a lot of misinformation out there on the Tik Tok Bill, I just read a good analysis of it without the hysteria involved.

“It’s not about just any foreign power, It’s the particular foreign power.”
Wrong... Absolutely wrong. It is ANY foreign nation and the president personally deems as a threat to national security.
You really need to read it before making yourself the fool for believing the lie you have been told.
