I’m going to file a lawsuit challenging the TikTok ban on Constitutional grounds.
Don’t be fooled — the TikTok ban is not about China harvesting your data. That's a smoke screen. Intelligence agencies from lots of countries, especially ours, are harvesting your data from everywhere all the time.
TikTok isn't even majority Chinese-owned, and the company agreed to put its data behind a U.S. firewall. The Biden administration rejected that deal.
Congress and the administration don't understand that TikTok is an entrepreneurial platform for thousands of American young people. They want to screw them over just so they can pretend to be tough on China.
The TikTok ban is yet another example of how neither political party has any compunctions about sacrificing your freedoms, rights, and choices, when it serves their political interests.

If TikTok gets banned,
the traffic will just go elsewhere.
The ban is a meaningless gesture to accomplish...
...?what?...
Actually its a real issue with china harvesting info.
The deep state can use a legit reason to further its own agenda.
Regarding the RFK impact from the other night-
I decided to check out who was financing him in an effort to determine the impact.
Voila, Mellon heir is not only his largest backer from what I could find but the same Mellon heir is a large Trump backer.
That’s a pretty big bet that RFK is helping Trump-or your opinion and I’m inclined to agree with it now.
That IS the goal. To divert traffic to American tech oligarchs.
Thanks for that intelligence, Freest.
RFK is for reparations and all kinds of bizarre stuff.
A lot of left-wing ideas in his platform
Still think he takes votes from Biden especially in the crucial states
Any issue with the Deep State should not be used to deflect from the threat to national security that Tik Tok represents. That threat is real; not something made up as a means to get power.
Anti Israel videos have been dominating Tic Tock for years and partially explain the call to ban it.
You could ban T/T and all the P-rn sites...people would just learn to use VPN services and reach them anyway.
I oppose censorship at the hands of gov’t.
Our gov’t has been proven to be untrustworthy with free speech.
Our gov’t has harvested data from social networks already, so their outrage that TikTok might be doing the same is hypocrisy.
RFK Jr. = Nutbar.
China has been able to steal everything they needed to steal and they didn't need TikTok to do it.
Free speech is messy sometimes.
Joe Biden agrees with you 100%. And in the bill, now he has the authority to ban FR. After all, this is a pro-Putin site. That's enough evidence for Biden to ban FR.
He’s there because he offers Deep State a place to stash swiped Trump votes.
Tiktok won’t get banned and RFK Jr. will wind up with a large slice of the Gen Z cohort.
There would be a crackdown on VPN similar to the great firewall of China and like is happening now in Russia.
