“The bill poses significant risk of being Patriot Act 2.0…There’s no way to argue this language isn’t vague and could invite abuse…An Elon or a Trump or you take Rumble for example, which is also accused of being a Russian agent, they could be forced to divest the company or have it be banned.”

Interesting video. He's read the bill and goes through the troublesome provisions.
This is far more than TikTok.
It is a guarantee “they” will destroy any and every thing they can.
That’s the plan. We can bet on that.
Several years ago, while working for General Dynamics, I went to FreeRepublic.com. I got a message that it was a political extremis site and access was blocked. I went to see the manager of the IT department and told him. He was very familiar with FreeRepublic. He rolled his eyes and said, “I’ll take care of it.” It was unblocked. But as we all know, extremism is as variable as the people making the determination. To a trans activist, everything that isn’t pro-trans, including baking blogs, is extremist.
Subsequently, I would download a few articles and email them to myself to read on brakes.
Why not FR and X as well?
The biggest problems liberals have now is social media platforms that are not in the control of the FBI, DOJ and the democrats. Their lies and evil agenda are exposed there, when before they could be censored.
One of the best points a Freeper made last night:-
If it was JUST TikTok they could make it a one line bill to get the job done.
But they haven’t.
I wonder why.
Everything they’re saying is a big, fat lie.
Yep, they want to silence X since you it’s the ONLY platform that the deep state cannot control.
Is there key ownership by China in X or other platforms?
Patriot Act redux....
“COULD”? More like will be!
No but listen to the video
“under the determination of the AG”
The language is very vague and troublesome .
At least in its present form.
Why do so many folks not get this? We have to have the same arguments over and over .
They never let an opportunity go to waste do they?
Bingo.... big blanket in this legislation.
I have no love for that website. It’s hideous with the videos etc. and I dont use it.
However, they have their sights set on more than just TikTok.
It was nice knowing all of you!
Wow this video has just been front page’d.
Mods must think like me and others- It’s troubling.
The Senate is where you can try and stop this.
That is why demos wanted to join in I suspect.
“Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice.”
In fact, the ‘planners’ are putting together a framework for a
Department of “Social Media” that will kill it by controlling it for Government brainwashing. *See 1984 and Ayn Rand.
