And our government steals all your info with our social media, search engines, email, text, etc.

Another case of, “if we do it it’s ok, if someone else does it, it’s bad.”

I have never used TikTok; I like to watch video that has been taken in landscape rather than portrait mode. I haven’t heard that TikTok users are any more likely to be victims of having their identities stollen than other people. It seems to be a platform that mostly young people have any interest in. Does the Chinese government give a rat’s butt about spying on your typical TikTok user or stealing information about them. It does not seem that likely.

President Trump has hinted that he is going to “save” the app... If that happens that will be good enough for me to have basically no concerns.

No. But you use FR. That's the problem with the bill. It's not "TikTok specific" bill.

Any website or app that is associated with a foreign adversary can be banned.

The Feds have the powers to do that now.

Oh, pull yer f@#$in head out, yah arsehole. It is an ownership issue, nothing to do with free speech.
And, if being a libertarian meant anything, how come yer party nominated a piece of commie trash for Pres?

Pi$$ off.
