Failure to singularly address tic-toc in legislation is further proof of the extent to which China owns American politicians…

Republicans are stupid for bringing it up this way.

Bring in app programmers and ask them about Tiktok copying and pasting content and returning it to China.

Ask them about how the app reconfigures itself to hide what its doing.

Ask about Chinese app makers and how they’re all beholden to Chinese intelligence.

Then make the point that American apps are as well, but we don’t need TWO eyes looking at everything we do.

“The rudeness of the congresspeople was an embarrassment to American society and political system.”

Bite me.

When politicians from both sides of the aisle team up. It should cause alarm for everyone.

150 million Tiktok users in the United States.

So, just under half (roughly 45%) of the US has TikTok on their phones?

Egads, no wonder there’s no OpSec anywhere anymore.

"It certainly reinforced the growing anti-Americanism in China,”

From the same chicoms who bribe Brandon?
