House Passes Bill to Force TikTok Sale From Chinese Owner or Ban the App - Lemmy.World

The House on Wednesday passed a bill with broad bipartisan support that would force TikTok’s Chinese owner to either sell the hugely popular video app or be banned in the United States. Republican leaders fast-tracked the bill through the House with limited debate, and it passed on a lopsided vote of 352-65, reflecting widespread backing for legislation that would take direct aim at China in an election year.

Signed, Congress.

lol yep. we constantly talk about how horrible tik tok is but the US government who is, of course, a much bigger threat to US citizens is doing the exact same thing.
How about let’s take care of the foreign power with a direct line to influence US citizens first. Then let’s work locally on the domestic problem. Protest, vote locally for those politicians who are on the same page and stop USING these companies products.

in the meantime STOP USING these companies products.

Can you share this list? I didn’t know we had a definitive answer on everything to avoid that the united states government is using to spy on its citizens. Not sure how I missed that, its kinda big news that we got something that definitive.

What an incredible addition to the discussion.
Dude…you are the one saying thats part of the answer. So…help us. You have the knowledge of what to avoid. Share please?

I was referring to the social media platforms like Meta and TikTok. But you know this, you just want to be an asshat.

So you don’t agree with me? You think making sarcastic comments is the path forward? You seriously take time out of your day to start shit with a stranger on the internet who simply suggests we have the ability to try to change things for the better in this country?

Well I don’t have the time. Take care buddy.

Responding to the edit you made after I replied. I asked you for further information on how to do this and its lead to quite a bit of anger and hostility from you dude. I haven’t insulted you. I have shown no anger. But you say I’m the one starting shit?
