ALERT: How the TikTok Bill Could Be Used to Target X, Truth Social or Rumble in the Future
Twitter/X ^ | March 16 | David Sacks

@TheChiefNerd

“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.”

RED ALERT !!!

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.

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.

This is exactly what I warned about on another thread on this topic the other day. This is why the democrats and RINOs are so excited about this bill. Does anyone think they would do anything in a bipartisan manner to improve the country?? Nope, unless there is something in it for them or to promote and protect their ideological agenda.

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?

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 .

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.

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.

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.
