...People may speak freely on TikTok and that threatens the establishment...

My response to that, a couple of lines from William Blake...

"A truth that's told with bad intent, beats all the lies you can invent."

Tik Tok is ChiCom.

If Trump sees the need to ban it, ban it.

If Musk buys TikTok, it will allow free speech AND not share user data with China.

anyone who has a Chicom-owned app on their phone is foolish. (Temu, Tictoc, Wish, etc)

Hmmm. Interesting; I had always heard it was owned by the Chinese, so I avoided it. It seems we’ve been lied to, again shocking! 🙄

TikTok bad. Demonetizing censoring YouTube good.

It is NOT uncensored.

It is HEAVILY censored by the CCP which is why you can see anti-USA propaganda but not anti-China propaganda.

Major US Jewish group backs bipartisan bill that could see TikTok banned.

Jewish Federations of North America, representing hundreds of organized Jewish communities, said its support for the bill is rooted in concerns about antisemitism on the platform. The Jewish Federations and the Anti-Defamation League have accused TikTok of allowing antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment to run rampant.

Because we should allow a communist country to spy on us and influence our youth. With the ultimate goal of taking over our country. I think not.

Armstrong’s an idiot. He either does not know or does not care that the PRC is harvesting your personal info and using AI (LLMs) to collate and prepate a profile on every person to use in asymmetric warfare. They skim the net collecting everything public facing and tie it to individuals, so they can access your accounts.

Imagine if you are a soldier getting reafy to defend Taiwan and your wife texts you saying “someone stole all the money from our bank accounts” or “someine canceled all our insurance”. Now imagine that happening simultaneously to everyone in your BCT right as you deploy.

That is why the PRC is harvesting Tik Tok data, and TEMU data, and any order you make from a Chinese firm.

I’ve been briefed on it, the problem is very real.

Sorry but that’s nonsense.

If you see no danger in a foreign, adversarial government, gathering personal and private information about nearly every single child in the United States, for virtually their entire lives, there is no help for you.

The ban is NOT about national security, but rather, the final attempt to prevent the people from connecting on an uncensored platform without backdoor government censorship. The law in question goes beyond TikTok as the government will only permit social platforms based in the US, therefore controlling the narrative and information the people can receive.

The Deep State has zero control over TikTok.

They have complete control over Meta, Google and Apple.

They can probably pressure Elon Musk eventually, if he wants to keep SpaceX. The Deep State will force Elon Musk to keep X or SpaceX, he'll probably have to sell X at some point.
