US house overwhelmingly passes bill to ban tiktok in the US

[that guy]

Yeah fukk TikTok and the Chinese spyware company as I type from my iPhone that was made in China as I post this text on a forum that is surely monitored by the CIA.

Now the government can FINALLY move on to the housing market crisis, inflation, mental health epidemic, improved gun control, income, stop using our tax money to fund a genocide, right?

RIGHT!?

The irony is they’re only banning TikTok because the white Jews couldn’t get away with their pro-Israel propaganda thanks to TikTok

Nah, I don't think it's an American thing, but an American tech company thing. Tech money is long and we're seeing it move right now to push out the competition.

Which is good. I live in America so I want American businesses to dominate... especially not a communist country like China

Israeli influence is okay though, right?

The US govt is israel

I am strongly against this bill for republicans it isnt about national security or anything along those lines. Its about stopping young voters from getting liberal and thus voting democrats, their primary goal is this will help trump and their politicians win easier in elections

Everyone at the debate said they'd ban it immediately upon taking office.

Neither party cares about the youth vote. It is what it is.

Wikileaks and other diplomatic leaks revealed that America has access to all our communications via US social media companies. If Chinese companies gain ground, America will lose its global spying advantage.

As an American citizen, wouldn’t you prefer China having access over a government that can arrest you? The Chinese can’t reach over the Pacific. Biden/Congress are afraid of losing full spectrum dominance.

I 100% agree with you that I'd rather China have access to my data and behaviors than the American government. I just think this is Meta and Google flexing over some government conspiracy.

Under the Restrict Act, US VPN users face 20 years in jail and a $1 Million fine for evading US censorship by using a website or app of a foreign adversary.


Biden signing this bill would be the introduction of the Great US Firewall. Yet again the US is becoming more and more like China. We saw in the Twitter Files how the US government squashed dissenting voices on social media, and killed the Hunter Biden story right before the election.

 

[Topps]

No more dumb Tiktok commercials while I'm watching YouTube or playing Candy Crush.

 

[GoFlipAPack]

I mean if it's China spyware?

I really wonder why it's taken this long for them to do this?

[Pull Up the Roots]

What Israeli influence? They are an ally and just like NATO allies we provide weapons and support to all of them
