I dont see how this legal? I need to research it More.

But how are lawmakers able
To dictate the selling and general business dealings of a company?

And why dont they do it to other corps that price gauge and are generally shytty conglomerates? IE ConEd, Boeing, Koch, etc

I wasn't trying to pin this Bill on Biden, although the President that signs a bill into law ultimately takes credit for it. The Restrict Act passed the House with a vote of 352 - 65. That's Bipartisanship. No clean hands.
Biden supports the bill.

His fault for even entertaining signing this bill.

we just watched a foreign entity send a push notification to hundreds of millions of american citizens to tell them to call their representatives to reverse course on a national security matter.. and it was effective.. in doing so they literally showed exactly why it should be banned or sold off to us..

if yall still dont understand why it should be banned or sold off to us, then i dont know what to tell you.

don't forget, you can't use google, fb, ig etc in china.. you can't own businesses or property in china.. yet they can do all these things here.

Chinese government is definitely using any leverage they can to oppose America.

If they have access to the information from TikTok they will 100% weaponize it.

I can't even scroll Twitter or Instagram for longer than 90 seconds, SOHH I won't even try TikTok. I like YT cause it's a longer format. Somebody might can say something useful over the course of 15 min. If the subject is engaging enough you have plenty of documentary length YT vids. 30 min. An hour plus.

I can't really stand one or two minute clips back to back to back for long.

I say that to say. If TikTok went away that wouldn't mean anything to me personally.

Tump will win due to Biden’s handling of Israel/Gaza and the banning of Tik-Tok.
