Do you mean you have a problem with removing control of a major media sensation like Tik Tok, watched/used by millions of our young people, from Chinese control?? If it is a profitable business, someone else will buy it.
Saw an interesting discussion yesterday on Mike Johnson’s changing views. Once he became Chairman, he was included at the daily intelligence reports, which as a nobody Congressman he was NOT previously. Over time the amount and complexity of the information he received daily has apparently caused him to see the issues differently than he did before. For example, many people are not aware of the direct line from Russia to Iran and Hamas/Yemen, and thus the concern for Russia’s actions in Ukraine and the threat to NATO and ourselves. This no doubt became apparent to him given the detailed intelligence information.
Some of us still remember the trauma of such distant events as the Korean War which caused my late husband’s severe PTSD. He was haunted by hand to hand killing a hapless adolescent Chinese boy, one of the 300,000 sent by China to help the North Koreans take over the entire peninsula. North Korea remains a dangerous enemy and China is still their friend.

It’s the downstream ramifications of the ban that I’m concerned with. This is the proverbial camels nose. Just like the “Patriot Act” those that trust this precedent setting legislation will only be used for good may be sorely disappointed. I don’t have those aspersions as I know downstream it will be used to further erode our rights. Some the have already analyzed the bill have the same fears. While I understand your position we are now living in a brave new world where the left is intent on jamming down as much evil legislation as possible before the election and the Tik Toc ban is a major piece of that.
