I swear by all that I know to be righteous and accurate, the combined willpower of the UniParty in Washington DC is not targeting TikTok from the perspective of concern over data collection. Instead, the DC system -which is to say the USIC- is using the auspices of TikTok to expand the reach of government censorship and control information.
This is a domestic information space battle, using the guise of TikTok as a baseline for justification. How do we know? You only need to look at the mechanism of the law as it is written, the compliance section, and the definitions they are using to see they are not targeting data collection. [pdf of HR7521 HERE]
If TikTok data collection was the issue, the law would be structured to ban foreign data collection. That’s not what this is. This is a law written to give the Executive Branch the power to define any platform as “foreign owned” by the service provider (even if domestic) and the substance of the content contained and/or distributed. This has to be stopped.
Read the law as written through the prism of “Information Control,” not the prism of data collection. The law is designed to control information, not data collection.
As readers are well aware, the USIC is in alignment (I would say control) with almost all U.S-based social media platforms. This is why/how DHS is operating in synergy with those same systems. This is also the motive behind the mis-dis-mal-information definitions. Ultimately, if you stand back and look at what is being done, you see the concern of the U.S. government is not data collection, its information control.
The TikTok ban, authorized by a duplicious Legislative branch, is expanding the ability of the Executive branch to control information. Just as The Patriot Act was not about targeting terrorism, but really about domestic surveillance; so too is the TikTok ban not about foreign data collection, it’s about information control.
Again, read the law as written and you can clearly see this is a law created to authorize the agencies of the government to control information. Silence is the same as consent in the face of oppression. Do not be silent.
Thank You Sundance and Team.. Godspeed in you endeavors and be safe..
Dear Sundance:
Yup. Plain as day. 🙏✝️🙏
It’s comforting to know president Trump is against it. He stays abreast of their tricks.
I feel like I’ve seen this movie before.
Didn’t they already try this?
“Net Neutrality” maybe.
Nope.
It seems that they not only tried it, but the mass censorship is already in place.
Many people are self censoring- afraid, and with good reason- to write or comment on certain websites, maybe even our beloved Tree House.
Furthermore, let me give you an example of what just happened in Nueva York. The miserable, disgusting, Commie witch AG, Tish James, just filed a criminal complaint against our foremost election integrity group. She subpoenaed all their records including the names and addresses of people who were on chat, email, donations, etc.
I have to tell you, I am not too happy knowing that that treacherous Orc has my personal info.
Life in war time.
I don’t understand how this woman can subpoena anything from anyone. And then sue industries because she feels like it. Lowlife judges are running this country.
I’m sorry Seneca. That sucks!
Nope.
Seneca, Have you contacted your state reps or national CongressCritters? Elise Stefanik is all over Leticia James. I would contact her office and let her know what is being done.
Do you have links to the complaint?
They’ve previously discussed it, then went back to the drawing board and came up with this.
It’s always been because it’s a platform not under the control of western intelligence and the ability to shadow ban, effectively silencing opposition narratives, usually hovering over target.
Nope.
No, I am certain they just recently tried this or something like it in another bill and it was quashed. It’s either that or my “channeling” is working overtime and I knew about this before it happened.
Today, we must realize that the Framers of our Constitution did not perceive of “Foreign States” as comprising “an extra-national Framework” which could then be manipulated to control “national affairs.” In particular, they never conceived that those “extra-national affairs” might be used to pre-empt the concerns of the nation that they sought to define.
So: “Make America Great Again!”
Is it … “just an acronym on a red hat?” Or might it still be a battle cry among people who finally realize that “they belong to ‘a nation,'” and that if they do not strive for ‘their(!) nation,’ no one else on Planet Earth ever will. (And, after all, why should they?)
I will very simply say this: “If ‘the people’ of [any nation] do not always strive to put [their nation] first, in every single thing that they domestically do and in every single thing that they internationally negotiate,” then … their nation is effectively defeated. Because it very-obviously is no longer populated by: actual, rational, ambitious, contentious, human beings.
They keep doing this. Which tells me that Congress needs to abolish the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
Remember that in the phony “border security bill” there was identical language insisting that any legal challenges had to be heard the DC Court, and not any other. Not even the Supreme Court.
Absolutely.
The DC Court system must be abolished, let them persecute Americans where they live, forcing them to dilute their carefully curated coterie of Communist judges, prosecutors and associated judicial functionaries across the entire country.
Eliminate to the greatest degree possible the punishment of the process for the people, let DC bear as much as possible.
This also will save Americans from the tyranny of DC Juries who reliably crucify every American placed before it; the corrupt denizens of DC have every one of them become overlords of American citizens, they revel in their power to destroy, yet whine they are not represented in Congress.
Good catch, that could work to our advantage.
They pass a whole bunch of this type of tyranical, dictatorial legislation, all specifying and adjudication MUST occur in DC Court,…then PDJT abolishes the DC court!
Without the Court, no case can be brought!
Trump cannot abolish the DC courts, Congress must do that.
Oh, gee, well, never mind then.
NOT.
They really do have absolutely no fear of any one or thing!
That is absolutely absurd to have that jurisdictional limit to only “allow” their corrupt, DC, whatever you want to call that clown show (for surely it is no court in the true sense of determining actual justice) to review an objection!
You can’t get more transparent in terms of expressing their motives and plans! This is insane.
Pretty soon they’ll be hiring people who get paid more than you do to come to your house daily just to poke you in the eye repeatedly.
These evil people get off on this tyranny crap. I literally can’t believe they are at the point of writing laws that can now only be adjudicated in their personal venue and folks of choice!
Clown world, clown show, all clowns until those same clown come and kill us…which ain’t funny , but they’ll still be clowns, just killer ones.
As for immediate action: well my congress corruptocrat Ralph Norman will hear about it in the morning.
Hey, it takes a lot of work to create a well oiled Communist tyranny!
If real Americans were allowed to adjudicate matters of freedom things could really get out of control!!
lol, Indeed!
Of all the messed up things going on, this type of thing sticks in my craw the most:
When what they do is just so blatant and obvious they are really saying to those who get it (like treepers) “what are you going to do about it, pal? That’s right, nothing !” And to those who have no idea , they laugh and get to say “these idiots( the American public) don’t know what we do and are clueless as to what we do means really, and wouldn’t even get it if we forced them to read it”.
Unrelatedly, Watched GF Part II the other night; had been a while. Michael’s solution to the Senator pressing him was clever and effective , if stone cold – but the interesting point that I believe was really being made is the Senator operated no differently despite his disdain for my ethnicity. I had forgotten about that thread.
“They really do have absolutely no fear of any one or thing!”
To the contrary, such attempts at tighter control of outcomes is the classic reaction to intense fear.
They fear real democracy – the preferences and values of We the People.
They know juries made up of middle class freedom loving Americans in “flyover country” will largely go against their unconstitutional totalitarian demands for compliance.
Yes. In that sense, agreed, of course. But, they have no fear of consequence for manipulating law away from its honest purpose and toward supporting simple tyranny.
Well… yes that seems to be the case. But then, no one I know has accused the current crop of communists in DC of being very smart in their long term thinking…..
It’s the classic dog catching the car it was chasing….. 😁
One of the SC justices has authority over those courts. They could and should shut down all this nonsense because it is rendering them irrelevant. No reason to have them around because these lower judges rule by fiat. The Constitution is ignored, why have a SC?
Right on. Look what just happened to Mark Steyn.
Canada is passing a law that could put someone away for life for supposed hate speech.
Great catch Patriot!
I work in tech and agree fully with Sundance’s conclusion.
The Internet is dangerous for the totalitarians.
Use proxies, use IP addresses, do not rely on DNS.
Use proxies outside of the Western Powers.
The Internet is powerful for those who learn how to use it.
DDG? VPN?
They want to shut down Telegram for sure.
Of course. Telegram shows the difference between their narrative and reality.
This was tried a year ago:
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/restrict-act-orwellian-censorship-grab-disguised-anti-tiktok-legislation
So US government tyrants are just going to keep trying this and other ruses to enable outright censorship until they break through with one?
Yes
High time for trumpets to blare.
TikTok is an exceptional source for red pills , truth in journalism, proof of conspiracy theories being true and
unfiltered information.
Its also a haven for healthcare that works, big pharma sunlight , poison in our food sunlight and all of the truths they don’t want us to know about the USA healthcare system / fraud.
Im sure they do want it obliterated.
I hate TikTok. It’s garish, it’s designed to wreck attention spans, and it frankly gives me a headache.
That said, I am adamantly opposed to any kind of censorship and have made my opinion vehemently heard to my supposed representatives.
yep, exactly.
Great Eye!!! I want to be just like you when I grow up.
We can also thank Representative Massey from Kentucky for exposing this in a public hearing.
Well, then we’d need to find his uni- party handler to thank them if you want to thank. If he did that in public it’s because he was told or allowed to. At this point that goes for literally every single person in government save President Trump.
If a government actor does something, literally anything , it is because it forwards their evil agenda. Else, they would be being attacked non-stop and have bogus charges brought against them. Yes, I am saying that the only way to tell an honest person in government these days is if the government is trying to arrest or bankrupt them.
This battle is black and white. Good against evil. Freedom versus tyranny. Free speech versus totalitarian censorship.
Only free speech absolutists can claim to be on the side of Good. Censorship is communism. Don’t be a communist.
👻
Yep, you are right. Mention free speech around Decepticons and they turn into ghosts.
👻
Hello idontknow, Mr Pfizer.
Miss me?
I was speaking with a friend in a DC Congressional office today. The phones were ringing off the hooks. My friend explained that Tik Tok had set up an auto dial to call the congressman’s office whenever someone logged onto their Tik Tok account.
He said most people are just hanging up when someone from the office answers.
Patriot Act
Affordable Care Act
Inflation Reduction Act
They will probably call this one the the Intelligence Community Restraining Act.
I do so hate to make a big post, but. ..here it is!

Heh, when I first started hearing about this my first thought, really, was “Ok, who else would like to own it? Same people that enjoyed playing with Twitter?”
“Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.”

——————————————
If truth be told, tens of millions of Americans must harbor, somewhere inside, the strong desire to throw off the chains being forged upon them daily, and throw off their oppressors by whatever means they find at hand.
The Second Amendment was recognized and incorporated into the Bill of Rights as a legal venue to prevent subjection and subordination of free men by tyrants masquerading as beneficient benefactors, and take back that original government from tthose wolves in sheep’s clothing who may steal, suppress, or overthrow it in order to reduce the people to serfs and slaves, whose only use is to pay taxes the tyrants use to keep the serfs in check.
“What is it that men want? Is peace so dear to be obtained by slavery in chains? Forbid it! I know not what other men may want, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”
The only platform they cant sensor … of course its bad !
———————————————
THERE YOU GO! The Uniparty seeks to make D.C. the Chief Tyrant, Jailer, and Executioner of men who dare to think for themselves and dare to demand the freedoms God gave them and the Founders codified to protect and preserve those freedoms.
The British once burned the capital to the ground. Maybe they were on to something, eh?
First off,, never trusted tik -tok,, the moment I saw the meat puppet open an account? It was then,, I smelled a rat,,, didn’t know what at the time,,still not totally,, but enough to know it’s not good
200 days to sell ,where does that fall 🤔
its information control
The censorship industrial complex(cancel culture), appears to be a public-private racket. The free market hates competition. My opinion only.
Gab’s response to Senator Mark Warner

From privacy point of view Tik Tok is not the worst culprit on the web. The worst players are Google, Facebook, and Apple.
Or choose to be as invisible as possible and stay off all social media. Use it at your own risk. Caveat Emptor.
(B) an entity with respect to which a foreign person or combination of foreign persons 21 described in subparagraph (A) directly or indirectly own at least a 20 percent stake; or (C) a person subject to the direction or control of a foreign person or entity described 2 in subparagraph (A) or (B).
So, lets say a foreign actor has a 20% stake in X, and now suddenly that country finds itself in the grey zone. Does Kingdom Holding Company of Saudi Arabia, part of BRICs, have a 20% or more stake? Now the President can call it a foreign adversary owned company and force divesture.
There it is.
Heck, they can do what the media (and Engoron, etc.) are doing with Trump: just take accusations as proof.
“They won’t say what we tell them to? They’re Putin’s puppets; shut them down and give them to our cronies!”
The entire American public would go apeshit crazy on politicians if this ever took effect. The internet and social media is a genie even this corrupt government can’t put back in the bottle. The hubris of even proposing this is off the charts crazy.
“Genie’s out of the bottle” was my initial thought as well.
I oppose giving government any more power in general, but after reading the whole bill, I don’t think it does what you are saying it does.
It is targeted squarely at foreign or adversary control, Section 3 on pages 9-10 of the bill defines what this means. 3 (A) i thru iii defines this, then gives the President the ability to determine one as well in 3 (B)
The last bit commonly known as weasel words.
.
Please see 3B. The president does not determine “foreign adversary”. The bill defines “foreign adversary” as countries designated in section 4872(d)(2) of title 10, United States Code. China, North Korea, Russia, and Iran. In an altogether different law.
(B) a covered company that—
(i) is controlled by a foreign adversary; and
(ii) that is determined by the President to present a significant threat to the national security of the United States…
You have a remarkable amount of confidence in the government’s inability to warp such to their benefit.
Curious.
.
This is about ability to read the plain wording of a statute after 4 decades of doing it. “And” is not ambiguous.
.
.
P.S. The reason the statute does not just “ban” tiktok and affiliates etc., and is worded as it is is most likely because a “ban” without penalty would be fruitless, as well as a game of whack-a-mole.
Anyone who might be a covered entity would do well to get themselves extricated -now-from any association with the four adversarial countries.
.
Thank you. I was concerned about the “president” defining problem. Would this law cover voting software?
I second that sentiment, but in fairness, how is a foreign adversary designated?
The code referenced in HR7521.
10 U.S. Code § 4872 – Acquisition of sensitive materials from non-allied foreign nations: prohibition(2)Covered nation.—The term “covered nation” means—(A)the Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea;
(B)the People’s Republic of China;
(C)the Russian Federation; and
(D)the Islamic Republic of Iran.
15 CFR § 7.4 – Determination of foreign adversaries.§ 7.4 Determination of foreign adversaries.
(a) The Secretary has determined that the following foreign governments or foreign non-government persons have engaged in a long-term pattern or serious instances of conduct significantly adverse to the national security of the United States or security and safety of United States persons and, therefore, constitute foreign adversaries solely for the purposes of the Executive Order, this rule, and any subsequent rule:
(1) The People’s Republic of China, including the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (China);
(2) Republic of Cuba (Cuba);
(3) Islamic Republic of Iran (Iran);
(4) Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea);
(5) Russian Federation (Russia); and
(6) Venezuelan politician Nicolás Maduro (Maduro Regime).
(b) The Secretary‘s determination of foreign adversaries is solely for the purposes of the Executive Order, this rule, and any subsequent rule promulgated pursuant to the Executive Order. Pursuant to the Secretary‘s discretion, the list of foreign adversaries will be revised as determined to be necessary. Such revisions will be effective immediately upon publication in the Federal Register without prior notice or opportunity for public comment.
(c) The Secretary‘s determination is based on multiple sources, including:
(1) National Security Strategy of the United States;
(2) The Director of National Intelligence’s 2016–2019 Worldwide Threat Assessments of the U.S. Intelligence Community;
(3) The 2018 National Cyber Strategy of the United States of America; and
(4) Reports and assessments from the U.S. Intelligence Community, the U.S. Departments of Justice, State and Homeland Security, and other relevant sources.
(d) (d) The Secretary will periodically review this list in consultation with appropriate agency heads and may add to, subtract from, supplement, or otherwise amend this list. Any amendment to this list will apply to any ICTS Transaction that is initiated, pending, or completed on or after the date that the list is amended.
Is it strictly determined by the Secretary of Commerce?
Also, is ICTS Transactions related? Why aren’t they using that if there is overlap?
https://www.hklaw.com/en/insights/publications/2021/04/icts-investigations-the-commerce-departments-new-tool
How hard is it for Joe to tell Gina Raimondo, hey, I think that’s a foreign adversary, add that one to the list?
Good finds, I concur, and suspect there are a number of weasel ways within.
If it wasn’t usefully malleable for the purposes of political exploitation they wouldn’t be pushing it.
When you have to censor any opposing views that tells you all you need to know.
I wondered why Our President seemingly changed his opinion about banning TikTok, but given that this abortion of a bill is the vehicle supposedly addressing that, it makes sense now.
Here’s what’s actually going on with the TikTok fight right now.
Deep State toadies are taking advantage of anti-China sentiment to transfer TikTok’s surveillance apparatus from China’s evil surveillance state to the U.S. government’s evil surveillance state.
TikTok isn’t going to be banned, because neither the CCP-run Chinese government nor the CCP-owned U.S. government wants to lose such a valuable tool for spying on Americans and poisoning the minds of their children. Instead, the corrupt U.S. intelligence
The In graham Angle had a similar discussion. It’s not about banning, it’s about how Bite Dance operates as a spy ring. They send lots of info back to the CCP. The call was for Tic Tok to be sold to a non Chinese company. Good fortune finding one.

It’s about our Derp’s inability to use it in exactly the same fashion.

Why President Trump’s against banning TikTok:
Zuckerschmuck”
https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/112058087970558736
.
Right. It has nothing to do with the wording of the law,which doesn’t say what some think it says. (Pls see my comments prior page.)
.
And he talked about that again on his interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box”:
Full Transcript here
.
A recent commenter here (can’t remember who) stated that whenever President Trump says, “We eradicated ISIS”, he is actually trolling the CIA because ISIS = CIA.
When I see President Trump comment here about Facebook and Zuckerschmuck, I think he is similarly trolling the CIA/USIC because Facebook = CIA/USIC.
Can’t have the Russians interfering with our elections because it will interfere with our interfering with elections.
Can’t have TikTok spreading mis-information to our citizens because it will interfere with our spreading mis-information to our citizens.
And that could be a threat to “our” democracy.
Free Tic Tok Free Julian Assange.
What about Scott Adams take is on TickToc due to the danger of persuasion of children? Why is TickToc banned in China? Maybe we ban all social media from children? That would work just as good as the marijuana ban that prevented Scott Adams from still smoking it every day?
Scott Ritter yesterday with Judge Napolitano on YouTube spoke very plainly.
He asserts that:
16:30 – the C-A Station Chief is the top local contact abroad, not our diplomats.
– we’re being duped & lied to.
– Judge Nap: the POTUS who tried to stop C-A killings was assassinated
17:00 – Ritter (naively) – ‘I could handle this… The President can have the Night of Long Knives… C-A operatives would wake up with US Marshall’s at their door, take their badge, weapon, and put them under house arrest until things get sorted out. … Shut the C-A down.”
“The C-A is running a parallel gov’t, a parallel foreign policy, parallel defense policy… we’re being lied to. …”

When I think of CIA and Ritter…
Looks to me like it could be used to go after Dominion Voting and their Serbian programmers if Trump wins the election.
Digital voting to go along with the digital money.
Sundance is 100% right about this. Take note that it’s not just TikTok, but they will/are going after Telegram as well, because it’s “Russian Owned” and then it will be anything they want to shut down (Gab, etc.) for any made up reason because when do they ever follow their own made up rules?
They’ve had warning labels on cigarette packs for what, around 30 years now and they still haven’t banned them and those don’t steal your data, they sicken and eventually kill you. That might make a good talking point to use on or against your politicians. Tell them to slap a warning label on TikTok and call it good or they’re being Nazis.
as much as I deplore social media and in particular tik snot (it serves zero positive influence on the younger generation and has a demonstrated pattern of allowing highly pornagraphic (strike that: perverted) sexual content, at the heart of this matter is an obvious problem:
the central state, INCLUDING potus, has constitutional prohibitions to determine or mandate control over speech…even an especially that speech that is repulsive, offensive, and even dangerous. THAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
We are not protecting normal common forms of speech. That is not what it is about. It is about protecting THE PEOPLE (and arguably, companies) from the overreach of government, federal or state and local, from interfering the free exercise of ALL KINDS OF SPEECH.
what is missing in most of the conversations/debates is that there is a formal and well recognized method to restrict abuse of those who have deemed social media (and all other forms of media) offensive and off limits to self and family and children. For instance, Texas (and Louisiana before it) have passed laws that require pornagraphic websites to have a age verification method. This protects those vulnerable and unprepared for the worst kinds of sexualized content that these websites produce. Rather than it becoming an impossible effort on part of a parent to opt out (which is a crazy notion anyway), it becomes the responsibility of the website to have safe guards in place that make it much harder for a child to view the content. I believe we can use this kind of policy and law and apply it to several other areas, and this does not create freedom of speech prohibition problems.
what the federal govt is doing here is wrong because it’s very clear this is not the way to go about protecting national security interests.
here are the facts: if the central state forced tik snot to change the manner in which it collects data, a counter lawsuit would erupt showing clearly that the central state has NEVER applied any controls of any kind toward any other social media company. As Sundance has described, this is purely a power play to protect and insulate “US” social media companies, namely book face, instaDUMBDUMB, and shittter, and you boob. Companies that have lost a great amount of revenue and value over the last 4 years, while tik snot has become ever popular and advertisers are moving billions that that platform.
noting: advertising dollars and the slant of the progressive political psyop is the domain of the left radical commie body..the unibody as well. The MAGA political movement does not embrace nor does it drive it financing and world of influence from advertisers. It’s not a subtle thing to notice.
God Bless America
Last month, I was visited at my home by 2 FBI/DOJ agents. They knocked on the door which we did not answer. Then they went through my neighborhood canvassing neighbors about me. I hired a top gun federal attorney to tell them to f* off and they said their visits were about my posts on Gab. They came to talk to me about them.
The goons are now the meme police so be prepared to have them knock on your door for mean memes and posts. We are winning the Great Information War, one meme at a time. And BTW I am still posting on social media because I have a First Amendment right of free speech, just as my network has the right to listen to what I post.
President Trump’s TikTok ban only banned TikTok. The proposed legislation is a trap.
Censorship, Guns, and Administrative Power: Mark Chenoweth Explains 3 Major SCOTUS Cases
By American Thought Leaders
12 Mar 2024
https://www.theepochtimes.com/epochtv/censorship-guns-and-administrative-power-mark-chenoweth-explains-3-major-scotus-cases-5603476
“It’s not the government’s job to police the line between true speech and false speech. The Constitution doesn’t give our government that power. The government has the power to police the line between lawful speech and unlawful speech.”
Mark Chenoweth is the president and chief legal officer of the New Civil Liberties Alliance (NCLA), a nonpartisan civil rights group dedicated to protecting constitutional freedoms from government violations.
“Most people aren’t going to know why their speech was taken down off of the platform. They might assume that it was the private decision of Facebook, or X, or LinkedIn … and it’s difficult to discover that it was actually the result of a government order,” says Mr. Chenoweth.
In this episode, we dive into the NCLA’s three lawsuits that have made their way up to the Supreme Court: Murthy v. Missouri (formerly known as Missouri v. Biden), Garland v. Cargill, and Relentless v. Dept. of Commerce.
“Agencies no longer look at the statute and say, ‘How do we best interpret this statute and apply it?’ Instead, they say, ‘How far can we push this and still get federal judges to go along with our ‘reasonable interpretation of the statute’?’ Well, that’s not a good dynamic to have in place. We need to get back to a world in which the agencies expect the judges to enforce the law as Congress wrote it,” says Mr. Chenoweth.

Back when I was watching the fraudulent Colorado 14th amendment case be presented something came up from one of the Colorado state employees who testified to that they had changed their websites to .gov. I don’t recall the exact context or when or where it came up, but I already knew that SoSs across the country were doing that starting in 2020 and beyond. I knew it had something to do with CISA and censorship and “critical infrastructure” and stealing elections, but I tucked it away as something for further investigation, and it has bugged me ever since. I also figured it had something to do with the Albert sensors they wanted to install which I discovered and called out long before anyone else.
Today while listening to Mark Chenoweth I figured it was time. Here’s what I found:
New Law Aims to Help Localities Shift to ‘.Gov’ Web Addresses

“If you’re on dot gov, you know you’re not going to be spoofed,” said Matt Pincus, director of government affairs for the National Association of State Chief Information Officers. The group pushed for the passage of the new law, which had bipartisan support.
Telling us we won’t be lied to on a .gov site is a LIE.
.gov gives them unlimited access, allows them to attach all kinds of sensors and puts them under the powers of the DOJ.
Spoofing websites can be a problem in areas of local government ranging from elections administration to the coronavirus response.

Why a Colorado Government Shifted Its Website to .Gov Domain

Reading this one I remembered my initial thought on this was so that they could all get .gov addresses. I was the only one at that time (2020, early 2021) trying to unravel all of the 2020+++ censorship by the gubt via the tiny techs, and calling out EAC, CISA, CIS, MS-ISAC, EI-ISAC, et al for all of their major election meddling and all of the censorship on the China Virus. And by using dot gov addresses they had more gubt “power” to tell the tiny techs what to do.

Yep, but PROPER legislation to stop this CULTURAL SUBVERSION TOOL MUST BE MADE. The data collection crap is far less important.
If that can’t be done SOMEHOW by SPECIFICALLY targeting FOREIGN CONTROLLED apps from -MILITARY ENEMY NATIONS-, it’s simply the UMPTEENTH verification of my claim that this country is -DOOMED- and that one term of Trump will be nothing more than a speed bump on the highway to hell!:
