Never had TikTok, but of everything that congress could do to actually help the American people, this shouldn’t even be a consideration. Tens of millions of Americans do not have health insurance in a country that readily bankrupts people with medical debt. Mass shootings happen daily. Christofascists are harassing queer people, half the women in this country live in a state where their reproductive rights are outlawed, police continue to get increase funding to brutalize marginalized groups, student loan debt is out of control. That’s not to mention the amount of dark money being pumped into politics to keep these solutions from getting solved. This is so ******* stupid.

It was so annoying to see all the comments on the live I was watching saying “VOTE BLUE 💙💙💙” as if democrats weren’t also overwhelmingly voting yes too. 
 

hopefully the senate kills this. 
 

it’s insane how much stuff is happening in America right now, and this is what they choose to unite over. Just goes to show how much smoke and mirrors all of this is. They’re united behind closed doors, but put on the show to divide us

I know its fun and games when it comes to tiktok which is harmless but this right here sets a dangerous precedent

It's already been done before with Grindr. The owners of TikTok will just sell to a non-Chinese company like they did.

They really have their priorities in check, huh?

To be fair, Facebook, Google, and other US companies are banned in China. The EU is also doing the same with banning the use of certain Chinese tech. Not sure if Atrl realizes we are in the middle of a tech war between China vs the Western World + Japan, Korea and Taiwan.

Pretty sure the war has nothing to do with it and it’s all about TikTok being owned by an American adversary country that scrapes people’s data? Isn’t that why they want it sold to a non-Chinese company? I really don’t see how that would solve the problem though if the buying company doesn’t find a way to remove the data scraping aspect of the app. I guess the USA doesn’t care about its constituents’ data being scraped as long as it’s not going to an adversary. :clown:

so you’re putting the US on the same standards as china even tho the US are calling themselves the land of the free and called china a totalitarian dictatorship for decades because they use their own social medias?

should the US ban everything korean after twitch left south korea last month so naver (korean google) launch its own video game streaming platform?
