The central argument is this. “Whether the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act (“the Act”), as applied to petitioners, violates the First Amendment.”
Congress enacted a law that effectively bans the social media app TikTok, or at the very least, forces the sale of the company to a non-foreign owned entity. The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments on the First Amendment aspect. Biden signed the law that requires TikTok’s China-based parent company ByteDance to divest from the app or face a ban on U.S. networks and app stores.
Mitch McConnell [SEE HERE] and Mike Pence [See Here] are asking the Supreme Court to support the law and support the forced sale or ban. However, President Trump is urging the Supreme Court to be very careful. [SEE HERE]
John Sauer, President Trump’s nominee to be solicitor general, has penned an amicus brief saying, “The power of a Western government to ban an entire social-media platform with more than 100 million users, at the very least, should be considered and exercised with the most extreme care—not reviewed on a ‘highly expedited basis.”
After initially supporting the ban on Tik Tok in 2020, President Trump changed his opinion and now contemplates whether a ban against the popular platform is in America’s best interest.
“Consistent with his commanding presence in this area, President Trump currently has 14.7 million followers on TikTok with whom he actively communicates, allowing him to evaluate TikTok’s importance as a unique medium for freedom of expression, including core political speech. Indeed, President Trump and his rival both used TikTok to connect with voters during the recent Presidential election campaign, with President Trump doing so much more effectively. As this Court instructs, the First Amendment’s ‘constitutional guarantee has its fullest and most urgent application precisely to the conduct of campaigns for political office.’” (source)
Many people have wondered what changed President Trump’s mind, with some pointing to President Trump’s meeting with TikTok CEO Shou Chew at Mar-a-Lago earlier this month. Additionally, Elon Musk and the Silicon Valley tech team, including JD Vance, are opposed to Tik Tok. However, the shift in Trump’s thinking since 2020 makes sense if you look at the timeline.
TikTok is a content and information platform that presents a significant issue from an American perspective. It is a Chinese platform available in the USA, but American platforms are banned in China. As a consequence, there is a particular conflict on geopolitical interests. Thus, in 2020 President Trump was against TikTok as an equity/fairness issue.
However, if most or all of the USA social media platforms are under the influence and control of government, which they are. And when President Trump became a victim from that influence and control, which he did. And when the only counterpoint for pushback against the Mis-Dis-Mal information scheme of the U.S. Govt., is to use an external platform to deliver information…. Then the relative issues in the platform discrimination argument take on a different context.
If you look at the timeline, after he was silenced by the U.S government’s influence in Big Tech, President Trump changed his position on Tik Tok.
If USG control the public conversation, and the overwhelming evidence is that they do; then you can argue the merit of allowing a foreign platform to exist as a domestic vehicle for information uncontrolled by the USG. This is also the essential argument that exists within communication platforms like Telegram; not coincidentally another platform targeted by the same USG.
TikTok may be garbage, I think it likely is. However, in the era where we have a documented history of our government controlling the content on social media platforms, I can make an argument that their lack of control within TikTok is really the bigger part of the USG opposition to it.
TikTok is also a target for the European Commission who recently blamed the platform for an election outcome in Romania that Brussels did not like.
[Read Trump Amicus Briefing Here]
If traitors Pence and McConnel want the ban on Tik Tok then we should do the exact opposite, lol.
Even a broken clock is correct once or twice a day 🙂
Yes, but neither Pence or McConnell are broken clocks, they are missing the “L”.
Broken SOULS, is what they have and they are pretty good “reverse barometers” as anything the two of them align together to be “FOR”, I sm ‘agin’ and vicey-versy.
If they are missing the “L” wouldn’t that make them “broken SOUS” ? <grins>
Actually we need to ban it, nothing good comes from Tiktok.
Libs of TikTok
Don’t just talk. Prove the bad that comes from it.
No.
Any avenue that we the people choose to
communicate, express our free speech, is not
subject to government whims, or control.
Our rights are granted by God himself, not any
government of man.
The collection of our private data is what needs to
be banned.
You’re singin’ my song. The fact that Pence even jumped in here has red flags all over it!
Crazy. Chinese platform is more open then US.
In China is is censored.
TikTok is a propaganda tool for the CCP.
It doesn’t matter if it changes hands, it will remain a propaganda tool.
It should be banned.
IF we want to consider some way of legislating and enforcing that NO internet cimpany can engage in cenccorship, or it will be banned,…I might support that.
But so long az the FED Giverment is going to vaccuum up data on its citisens, I say leave Tik-Tok alone.
Perzactly!
ALL mass media, and most smaller media is a propaganda tool. Always has been, always will be. It’s impossible for it to be otherwise. The closest we ever get to honest information is when the source declares their bias up front and does so honestly.
Sundance placed the idea of pretending into the conversation weeks ago. This was then shaped as truth.
Who or what is the arbitrator of truth? Not bias – truth.
Exactly. Free speech and censorship do not mix.
And X, farcebook, and others are not a propaganda tool for the US? President Trump was taken off Twitter and Facebook while he was still president…
What is one more propaganda tool🤷♂️
We have all of our mainstream Media,
both written and televised =propaganda.
Free Speech is Free Speech.
Period.
We need MORE Free Speech- not less.
I have something I really think you deserve to read, our mutual friends know but not for a general drop. Any ideas?

Our mutual friends should try previous

I always welcome Further Reading

I will talk do that. It will make things much clearer.
The CCP isn’t doing the damage your own government is doing.
Our corrupt government is the problem, not China.
Just have congress pass a law banning it… simple … /sarcasm
Cite examples of CCP propaganda or forever be silent.
–“Cite examples of CCP propaganda or forever be silent.”–
Interesting way to promote free speech!?! <smiles>
Says who?
You swallowed the deep states lies hook, line and sinker.
You wouldn’t know Chinese propaganda if it slapped you in the mouth.
I’m concerned with our governments propaganda.
Part of which you’re spewing.
All the other platforms are propaganda and
control tools for the Western deep state.
Again, what needs to be banned is the mining of
our privacy by government and corporations.
it should be backed by a billion dollars fine per
offence.
TikTok is a tool for the CCP to push brain rotting garbage on our population
Well that is no means to ban it. We have plenty of brain rot originating here from the school system to TV/Movies, porn, etc. all supported by us gov.
That sounds like the Disney Channel.
So?
I’m perfectly capable of discerning what is and what is not “brain rotting garbage” whether it comes from CCP, US government, US media, TikTok, education system, Google, the next door neighbor, or any other “thought garbage producers”.
We’ve always had brain rot garbage thrown at us. The problem seems to be the percentage of people not using/practicing the skills of thinking, questioning, and discernment.
Curiosity doesn’t seem to be killing many cats these days. But the lack of it sure seems to be becoming more dangerous to our intellectual health and well being.
“thAn” for pete’s sake.
Interestingly, Mis-Dis-Mal information does not apply to Luigi-the alleged murderer. I have never seen the media make a heart-throb out of an accused murderer before. Maybe it has to do with his connected family, or maybe they are trying to normalize murder for political expediency- the media sure took Trump’s assassin off the front page in a hurry. Am I wrong to suspect a covert operation?
Nope…BUT murder has been normalized for a very long time in our country, people are killing babies every.single.day. and it’s applauded, “my body-my choice” or something.
I took biology in the 10th grade and was taught that baby had a body growing, BUT that kid doesn’t get a choice.
Why are people shocked (!), yes, SHOCKED(!) that our society now looks at murderers as heroes!????
Our society lost all reverence and respect for life, way back in the 20th century.
Did we really believe there would Not be a PRICE to pay for that movement?
We live and breathe it every.single.day on every.single.issue facing our WORLD today.
And Yes, the great blob just loves it when an issue like this pops up and divides people, so they can continue the fight to destroy MAGA. It worked with the Tea Party and it’s working now.
President Trump and his A-Team should blow up this whole blob and get the Truth revealed, because the $%it’s gonna hit the fan sooner rather than later.
👏👏✝️👏👏
Correct, the wholesale acceptance of murdering babies has done away with life being sacred.
Women that have advocated for that or participated have themselves to thank for the results of their evil and selfish actions.
Boston Marathon Bomber and I believe serial killer Richard Ramirez before him. Anyone they consider “cute.” Tony Curtis was cast as “The Boston Strangler” and Robert Blake was cast in the movie, “In Cold Blood.” I can’t think of any notorious killer who was lauded as ” righteous” for killing an innocent man. It’s disgusting.
Ché?
A fashion statement for Marxists and Morons to this day.
The Menendez brothers.
You don’t remember Ted Bundy, oh he was handsome. Every woman’s dream, tv loved him. He had lots of admirers.
If the tree of liberty was watered as it should be, we wouldn’t have 40 million illegal invaders.
I take Sundance’s point, but at the same time the CCP has completely infiltrated our entire telecommunications system in the US! The Biden administration did nothing, ZERO, about this. Now the USG is admitting it has no strategy for dealing with this.
I find this frightening, and see TikTok as potentially part of this problem.
Yep, they van attach spyware to computers using Tik Tok.
Is the Biden Family a problem; Hunter and his hookers, our Joint Chief of Staff Gen Milley advising his CCP counterparts about political conditions here? I guess my preference for twerking girls in the hood versus singing kitten chorus lines are national security stuff! Maybe China bans US asocial media BECAUSE it really is US Gov PsyOps!
THERE ARE NO HALOS IN THIS WORLD!
Says who?
The deep State, that’s who.
It amazes me out how gullible people are.
How do we know The Turdle isn’t pulling a Kay Granger and it’s his interns doing this? As for Pence, who give a rat’s ash what he has to say (about anything)?
Send him to the glue factory with Kay, Nanzi and Joe
Send them to the cornfield (an old reference) or take ’em to the train station (a new reference). 😁
Ban it unless it’s put under US ownership.
The way it is now is exactly like the Soviet Union having the same capability during the cold war – data harvesting and harmful social engineering.
TikTok Must be Banned in US and Free World
January 16, 2023
https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/19295/tiktok-ban-us
Chinese law requires all Chinese companies to turn over information to the Communist Party upon request — and ByteDance, the owner of TikTok, reportedly employs more than 130 Party members to ensure compliance, among other matters.
“Its algorithm is at once simple and sinister. Download the app on your smartphone and you have given China access to all your data… And history shows they use that data for nefarious purposes.” — Adonis Hoffman, The Hill, October 18, 2022.
“First, the app can track cellphone users’ locations and collect internet-browsing data — even when users are visiting unrelated websites… That TikTok, and by extension the CCP, has the ability to survey every keystroke teenagers enter on their phones is disturbing… it could also be used to subtly indoctrinate American citizens. TikTok has already censored references to politically sensitive topics, including the treatment of workers in Xinjiang, China, and the 1989 protests in Tiananmen Square.” — Senator Marco Rubio and Representative Mike Gallagher, The Washington Post, November 10, 2022.
It’s almost like [the Chinese] recognize that technology is influencing kids’ development, and they make their domestic version a spinach version of TikTok, while they ship the opium version to the rest of the world…. If you’re under 14 years old, they show you science experiments you can do at home, museum exhibits, patriotism videos and educational videos,” said Harris, adding that children in China were limited to only 40 minutes a day on the app…. There’s a survey of pre-teens in the U.S. and China asking, ‘what is the most aspirational career that you want to have?’ and in the U.S., the No. 1 was a social media influencer, and in China, the No. 1 was astronaut. You allow those two societies to play out for a few generations and I can tell you what your world is going to look like.” — Tristan Harris, former Google employee, 60 Minutes, November 24, 2022.
In December, it was revealed that ByteDance had used the app to surveil several journalists to track down the journalists’ sources.
TikTok’s Secret ‘Heating’ Button Can Make Anyone Go Viral
Jan 20, 2023
https://www.forbes.com/sites/emilybaker-white/2023/01/20/tiktoks-secret-heating-button-can-make-anyone-go-viral/?sh=5098ccf16bfd
TikTok and ByteDance employees regularly engage in “heating,” a manual push that ensures specific videos “achieve a certain number of video views,” according to six sources and documents reviewed by Forbes.
***Scott Adams led me to investigate the following some time ago when in a podcast he said that an individual who regretted their trans efforts pointed out that TikTok had been a huge influence on them:***
These trans TikTok videos are pushing kids over the edge
Social media is fueling a trans pandemic
Jan 24, 2022
https://www.mercatornet.com/these-trans-tiktok-videos-are-pushing-kids-over-the-edge
The irony should not be lost on us that a trigger warning is required for an article written for adults about what their kids are watching on the internet. But in the age of social media and trans mass hysteria, this is where we find ourselves.
A brilliant documentary called “The Call is Coming From Inside the House; The Great Awokening” was posted on YouTube on January 16th 2022. Within a few days, it accrued thousands of views. It features extensive footage which has been publicly posted on social media promoting trans identities and trans surgeries, much of which is highly graphic and disturbing.
[big snip]
To close, I will describe the two images which, among all this surreal horror, had the biggest effect on me. One shows a smiling young woman posing topless with her surgeon to show off her mastectomy result – multiple self harm scars are clearly visible on her arms and abdomen. The other is a short video of a young woman, also topless with fresh mastectomy scars and missing nipples, explaining in an agitated manner how she is getting “phantom nipple pain” and pleading with whoever has “gotten hold of my nipples and is pinching them to stop the “sick game”. There are no words to describe a society which allows healthy body parts to be removed from young people who are clearly in such severe mental distress.
How have we come to this?
The Call is Coming From Inside the House
Jan 16, 2022
BOOK 1: The Call is Coming From Inside the House documents how the medium of social media may operate as a catalyst for modern day social contagions. Seemingly innocuous ideas such as gender theory, uncritically adopted and promoted, can spread widely online among vulnerable young people, leading to self-harm and destruction. This documentary challenges you to look beyond the shiny veneer of fashionable narratives and see for yourself what is really happening to today’s youth.
THE GREAT AWOKENING is a short film series that documents postmodern religious fervor among today’s cultural elitists. Filling a void in a growing secular society, gender ideology emerged establishing a priest class of gender confused young people and adult male autogynephilles.
This film is for documentary purposes and does not condone self-harm or bigotry of any kind. Viewer discretion is advised.
Assuming you mean US private ownership – what leads you to think that would change anything?
It would change nothing. The US owners could sell the very same data to anyone they wish, including China if the price was right. There are no good guys in ANY media to include social media. They are in it for the buck and ethics be damned.
Kinda where I was headed. But I have a congenital aversion to universals – especially when it comes to human institutions and behaviors.
Do you consider Breitbart editors or the owners of Truth Social to be unethical?
U.S. ownership would result in even more control of Free Speech, wouldn’t it?
Who is feeding these freaks? I’m sure none of them are self-sufficient. Most of them look like they’re eating quite well – even maybe too well in many cases.
I’m 100% in favor of disqualifying Tik Tok for being able to be used in our country as long as it is owned by ANY Chinese company.
Because ALL Chinese companies do WHATEVER their Chinese Communist Party master tell them to do.
QED
PS: I don’t understand by Trump would hesitate in any way, shape, or form to prohibiting Tik Tok to operate in the US while it is owned or controlled by a PRC entity.
Sundance laid that out: First Amendment – though I’m not certain how far that goes with privately owned outlets. Specifically, it was in PDJT’s interest to maintain that information outlet in the last election.
Were it in my job jar, I’ld avoid the First Amendment issue altogether. I’ld frame it as an economic matter – we reject Chinese ownership of US social media companies until such time as China allows unfettered access of US owned social media companies to Chinese customers.
No new deal. If they can’t control it, the ban it. That’s the uniparty way.
BAN it
Trump also caved on FOREIGN VISAS.
Foreign Visas work cheap.
Disappointing … that’s NOT America or AMERICANS First
They typically come here on student visas. They pay full freight so academic loves them. They have preference over legal Americans for student internships and leverage that for jobs here because they WORK CHEAP, with the same higher education. Universities and colleges get kick backs for favoring foreign student over legal Americans for internships. Legal Americans will continue to be phased out and replaced.
My expectations for Trump were high and slowly being adjusted down.
He is folding like a cheap suit for Elon and Vivek. TikTok is nothing but a bunch of Chinese slug and Trumps ego is driving policy as we speak. I am so disappointed that after supporting him this long, he now is caving to the international power brokers.
He’s not even taken the “Oath of Office” yet; give it a rest.
President Trump goes for the controversial discussions, doesn’t mean a thing on how he is going to finally take a stand on an issue.
This is a discussion time.
Don’t get caught up in the back and forth.
Exactly.
The corruption in H1B and L1-A/L1-B/L1 regular and blanket visas needs to be addressed. There are many documented posts of how HR departments apply two different standards to American and foreign candidates when it comes to verifying resumes and contacting references. But that same chicanery also happens among competing Americans – very often based on politics or DEI criteria. The law needs to be enforced. The integrity of hiring practices independently audited.
What I’m weary of is the overt racism that some are expressing.
In the IT business it has been well known that for decades loyalty to corporate (or public) interests ran a distant second to personal monetary and power interests. Those with demonstrated ability and certifications and/or clearances (many of whom were white Americans to assuage the perpetually upset) could increase salaries over a hundred thousands dollars in a short span of 2-3 years hopscotching from public to private sector, private company to private company. Anyone involved in hiring over the same time span witnessed the decline in math (and especially communication) skills each succeeding year. The nationality profile at elite labs has been variable for a long time. There are, btw, various types of contracts that prohibit foreign nationals – in the classified world obviously, but also certain types of “exploratory” R&D contracts. Whatever the argument happens to be, the details need to covered. There’s a huge difference between the talent needed for, say help desk or server farm duties, and near real time analysis and competent response to complex security breaches.
Vivek made a huge mistake attaching the argument to domestic cultural issues at the expense of his boss’s voter base. Companies like Elon’s receive a lotta public contracts. That changes the legal dimensions of all of this.
…and inevitably leads to chain migration.
👍✝️👊
Why should I care…say…about all the US students who actually benefitted from the US gov’t covering their scholastic debt?
Why would The installed self serving occupants who dwell within the United States Congress want to ban tic tok? also, why wouldnt tic tok just comply with the 4th branch of government demands like all the other main stream social media platforms have done including X?
Fake War
An “Nate” McMurray fake Irishman that hates Russia.
How unusual!
Murray is a real Scots name (some of my Canada cousins). McMurray is more than likely as Irish as this clown Leo Varadkar with the fairy from Canada.
The past week has been crazy. Thank goodness for Sundance staying on top of this and the H-1b visa controversy. Personally, I side with SD on both issues. The root of both is Freedom!
Pence?
Who is the PENCE you speak of?
You mean “a penny”????
It would be much easier to ban the reasons why some want it banned. Is it data mining? Ban that. Is it stupid people doing stupid things. Definitely ban that. Is there something about it that leans towards a monopoly? Fine. Ban the tech or function from being used by only that platform. Is there spying? Of course you ban that.
We have a history of breaking up monopolies. Nobody ever bans the company.
The deep state is a bigger threat to Americans than tic toc could ever be. NSA makes tic toc look like child’s play.
The blob must be destroyed!
The blob is behind all this controversy; it’s their way of in-house fighting so MAGA can be divided and destroyed.
The fight isn’t going away.
Succubus Mike smelled blood in the water and couldn’t resist.
Xavier: Incubus, actually, but, yes.
McConnell sold his soul to the Devil a long time ago. Pence sold his for some media approval and a challenge coin.
As the cartoonist shows us, this is nothing but a stalking horse to allow the government to take control of social media in general.
I have to wonder what’s being used to create fear in the justices. Maybe the next guy who winds up in your home is able to murder you this time?
How does a virtual bulletin board pose a problem requiring a ban?
Nice mother and daughter picture. Mrs. Duffy-Alfonso has her crap together at 25.
Tik Tok steals info — just like Facebook, Google, Amazon, et al.
But it’s owned by the Chinese!
The Chinese can go on the Dark Web and buy all the info that’s available on Tik Tok or any of the other social media sites.
What security interest are users of Tik Tok putting on Tik Tok?
How will American owners make any difference?
Stop the knee jerk China bad, ban it mantra.
The three briefs are well worth the read. McConnel argues that the date of January 29 was precisely to prevent moving the final result to the next administration so that congress could exercise its authority together with a president sympathetic to their cause. Pence et al argue that because of national security concerns, the act does not violate the First Amendment. Trump argues that he is neither taking a position for or against TikTok, but that it is the Executive branch, and the President specifically, who should negotiate a resolution to the issue which has both free speech and national security concerns. He objects to the restrictions congress placed on the Executive, both by their taking an improper role, and by dictating that the President must yield to executive agencies. Essentially, Trump says it is his responsibility to deal with the complex issues, not congress or the court, and he will do it.
If ByteDance ownership enables uncensored dialog the government can’t control, leave it alone. The Paranoid Pences and McConnells of the swamp need to be brought up to speed on the TRUMP culture shift – eventually they will learn this is NONE OF THEIR DAMN BUSINESS.
Any “News” from an overseas source whether an Internet domain , news source or social media is an excellent counterbalance to the the corruption of everything from Google to Facebook .
International / Foreign source is more likely to not be influenced by US Govt- the most corrupt , evil threat to Americans .
It is difficult for me to form an opinion on this issue, mainly because it is impossible for me to understand why any thinking human being would waste a moment of their precious, short life watching anything on Tik Tok.
Until the people’s government of the USA regains control over the effective government’s control of public internet communication, this is our Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact to buy time to better prepare for the confrontation with fascism.
Those are logical bed fellows. May they rot together.
I think we should outlaw Mike Pence and Mitch McConnel. Mitch especially has done more to block conservative dialogue than any Chinese company.
Crazy, if you don’t want to do tictoc don’t.
Simple.
I’m sure this has been said already with 300 comments-but who is this Mike Pence guy?
He served much the same role that Reagan’s VP, CIA Director, and Council On Foreign Relations traitor Bush Sr served, to hamstring, and betray as much of Reagan’s America First policies as he could. Pat Buchanan Reagan’s Adviser,Speechwriter, and friend ran against him in 92 and later started the great “The American Conservative” to counteract the Bush-Uniparty-Neocon anti-american policies.
Seems like many are showing their “Karen-Side” over this Tik-Tok issue!
Fine! Free Speech! Fine! Concern over Chi-Com Spying…on American Citizens, just trying to have a good ole time, cause there’s nothing better to do than strip down in whatever, sing, dance and pontificate to an audience of “WHO” or “WHAT” exactly?
But that’s just me, an out-of-touch ole lady who was fetched up with talking face-to-face with real people, like’em or not, and actually singing to a real live audience, fully clothed!
There was a time when folks wanted to live in “Real-Ville”, not “Pretend-Ville”…we pretended, when we were youngins’ running around outside, playing cowboys and Indians or jumpin’ rope, or just walking and picking berries for that night’s dessert or “God-Forbid”(!) laying on the grass, in the shade of our Horse Chestnut Tree, reading a real book, with paper pages!!!!!! YIKES!!!!!
What in Hell have we devolved into?
So many are worried sick over China Controlled/Spy Masters Tik-Tok!!!
Well, how about our Blob Spy Masters since 9/11???
And by-the-way: Do we have any answers about the Chinese Spy Balloons Touring over the United States of America and our Military Bases for about a week or more?
Any word on that little escapade?
Really, they don’t need more data, they already have everything about
you stored. Get rid of tic- tock and there is no uncontrolled platform left.
Oh! The two evil pariahs, Turtle and Judas are teaming up again! Lucky us! I guess they didn’t learn their lesson after the Jan 6, 2020 presidential certification debacle.

I wonder if next week we get the other two evil pariah’s UpChuck and hop-a-long Nancy whining to the Supreme Court?
If Mike 30 Pence and mr Newt Uniparty McConnell are for it, I’m against it.

The Bush Family Affair with China
https://www.theamericanconservative.com/the-bush-family-affair-with-china/
“Son and brother to two U.S. presidents, Neil chairs the George H.W. Bush Foundation for U.S.-China Relations, a 501c3 organization named for his late father, the 41st president, who was, in Neil’s words, “a huge believer in the importance of the bilateral relationship between China and the U.S.” The purpose of the foundation, Neil said, was “to get Americans to change their negative views” of China and recognize the country’s “natural kindness and gift giving.” ”
Remember the infamous “A New World Order” twilight language speech? That was Orwellian doubletalk for their coming Economic treason of “Free Trade” the demolition of American manufacturing and the export of our manufacturing technology,infrastructure, and jobs to China, creating the superpower of China. CFR member & Bush family brother from an another mother Clinton did it and also made sure to give China Guidance missile technology to modernize it and endangering our troops and us. Bushes-Clintons-Obama’s-Biden’s all the same traitors whether they have an R or a D, it doesn’t matter.
Can anyone spot the fairy and the First Trans?
Every single US Media and Internet Platform includes ….
Foreign ownership or Foreign nations with ownership level holdings.
Used as propaganda platform by US Government and Foreign Governments.
Content that is considered damaging to Children.
Pornographic Content.
User Data Collection for internal use.
User Data Collection with intent to sell it.
Connection to INTEL services of multiple nations, for purposes of data collection.
So, if these same standards are applied, as with Tik Tok … when does a “US Owned” Media Outlet get banned or forced to change ownership??
There is more to this than ability to control content and “ownership” by a Foreign Power.
This also creates a Supreme Court Approved license and precedent for the US Government to apply the same criteria whenever they need to throttle a media outlet, the Government does not like.

this is a discussion on how to pick up a turd. If one platform is dirty, why cant the others be as well? So, ban all of them and forget first amendment. or, preserve all and support first amendment.
Ultimately, its the user that must decide/decipher/figure out any deliberate manipulation of presentation.
We need to ban ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, NPR and subsidiaries. They are a bunch of Leftist liars and haters of the U.S. Constitution. These networks are constant enemies of patriots and decent American people across the USA. They are relentlessly working to destroy what has made America the beacon of freedom throughout the world.

I can’t understand why people are against TikToc. EVERY TikTic video I have seen (and I have seen 100’s on Facebook) has been very much PRO MAGA. I have NEVER seen a TicTok video that praised the CCP at all.
If anyone has seen a anti MAGA video on TikToc, I’d certainly like to hear about it.
I really don’t care who owns it. If it is putting out Pro MAGA material to younger generations, I want more of it, certainly not a ban!
I have seen every kind of Propaganda on TikTok
going both ways politically
bull crap sports rumors
bigfoot
ufo
magic tricks
you name it.
its like everything
don’t believe everything you hear or see.
if you have half a brain you can see thru the bs
if not
you might be a democrat
AGAIN we see MIKE PENCE AS A CHARTER MEMBER OF THE SECRET POLICE SPY STATE.
I wonder if KOWmala Harris will be rewarded also for declining to certify the election results.
yes, that’s right. it’s going to happen folks.
be prepared…but be unafraid.
she will be rewarded just as Mike pence..for exactly the same reasons.. to deny YOUR POWER TO CHOSE THE PRESIDENT.
as Sundance has stated, there ARE trillions at stake.
Trillions with a T. as in TTTTTTTREASON.
God Bless America
It’s a combination of lack of control over it and the amount of $$$ the other companies/apps could make if it was banned.
The whole “We need to ban it because it’s ran by CHINA” argument is complete bulls***.
