    How many of you are aware that Tik Tok’s code has a keystroke logger, that is active when you are using it?

    Trump doesn’t want the ban because one of the largest investors of Bytedance donated a large chunk of money to Trump’s campaign

    Nancy Mace touts the Republican company line blaming Biden for inflation. It’s really the only talking point Republicans can use at this time. But guess what: The Federal Reserve’s money supply EXPLODED WHEN TRUMP WAS IN OFFICE. In 2019 and 2020. Government spending doesn’t drive inflation, it’s people’s spending of that overinflated money supply that causes the bulk of the inflation. If she was serious about tackling inflation, she would increase taxes to take that excess liquidity out of circulation and use the tax proceeds for infrastructure investment or to pay down existing debt. But then doing so would eliminate her primary talking point that she uses to keep her support, so she won’t do it.

    The bill says any social media site that is controlled by China, Russia, N Korea, or Iran must divest that ownership. So it wouldnt ban TikTok unless Bytedance refuses to sell its % ownership & remove a board member

    I’m as free speech as it gets. But when did the 1st amendment protect the Chinese government? Is that not what the bill is trying to stop? I’m honestly confused on this. Please tell me if I’m wrong

    Trump’s position is calculating. He’s saying that banning tiktok would give facebook more power. But also he wants Biden to be the one that banned tiktok so that he can use that to sway young voters that he was the one that took it away from them.

    The 1st amendment stops the US government from silencing your free speech. It does not protect foreign government propaganda platforms and never has. Congress has every right to ban Tik Tok the company, they just don’t have the right to ban your individual posts on Tik Tok. Besides, they are not saying Tik Tok can not exist, they are saying it can not be controlled by the Chinese government. The real danger is how TikTok’s algorithms promote content that pits American vs. American. They want us fighting each other. Promoting violence is one of the exceptions to free speech, and that is exactly what Tik Tok does.

    Bill Maher lost me a long way ago. He is an arrogant smug out of touch idiot. He still refers to people who protest Israel genocide of Palestinians as pro Hamas. He ignores the atrocities and war crimes of Israel. Maher is a fool.

    Bill nails it on this one. It’s not so much about data security, it’s about the ability of China to use their control of Tik Tok to brainwash our populace. We’ve already identified this as a problem with social media companies in general, but in the case of Tik Tok, it’s literally an adversarial government with control of the company.

    Mace has turned to the dark side. Bummer! Secondly, our planet is on fire, either by war or by global warming. That seems like an issue I can get behind.

    Free speech is an American Constitional Ammendment, for Americans. For the Chinese, free speech is an effective device for subtrefuge and espionage. Go ahead and ban Tik Tok. We’ll all be better off for it.

    It’s not a first amendment issue.
    It’s about Chinese influence and data gathering.
    Also Nancy Mace is a completely disingenuine person.
