On banning Tik Tok

On banning Tik Tok
which I support because it is mainly a data mining app for the Chinese Government which also has videos.

Do people really think Silicon Valley is incapable of coming up with a video sharing app to replace it?

FBI Director Christopher Wray: “TikTok, for us, represents a national security concern.”

In the meanwhile, this dimwit is not pushing Dementia Joe to close the border where actual terrorists walk into the U.S.

Wray's words are a bunch of baloney.

I'm torn.  TikTok is at least collecting and feeding tons of data directly to the Chicoms, including things like location data and images from government employee phones, including when they are in secure locations with said phones that have the app installed.  At worst it's a Chicom psyop, dumbing down Americans (especially da youts) and spreading misinformation.  However, banning apps is not easy, and it's very debatable if the feds have the Constitutional power to even try. 

However, Fed employees, especially military, should absolutely be banned from having the app on any official device, and can probably be told to leave their personal devices with the app at home, away from any government building/worksite/ect. 

Should Congress be focusing more on other things?  Yes they should.  Is this app an issue that needs to be looked at?  Yes it is, again, particularly on government devices and in government facilities.

Yet none of those are the reason that certain parts of our government want it banned.

They want it banned because unlike facebook and the like, it is beyond their control.

Actually they wanted the ban because there's a tiny little clause in the legislation that says they can do it to any other website that "raises similar concerns".

It was no more than allowing the camel's nose in under the tent wall.

Tic Tok is one of the leading causes of the stupifying of America, particularly the young people. Ban it.

No.

TikTok just puts the stupid in America on display for all to see. The stupid was always there, it just didn't have such a tall soapbox before.

Also to be applied to that which they do not control...websites which do not parrot their narrative.

Banning tik tok is a backdoor to taking Musk's X FREE SPEECH platform out.

If the bill was "bipartisan" and it was nothing but harmful intent and action for the American people will result. Having the DUchebag DUmbasses being for it only makes my prediction more true.

He is disgusting when asked if they were going to investigate these Hamas demonstrators he said no it was no reason to. But the FBI didn’t hesitate to investigate Trump when he was running for election and spying on his campaign and then coming up with the Russian collusion BS, that was all from Hillary Clinton. They let go with no charges for deleting all the emails and having the server in her basement.

This is the reason why these f'ers wanted it banned. They stand to rake in millions. ALL of these inside-trading clowns need to be removed, no matter the party.

For the record, I don't give a shit about TikTok. Don't use it, haven't downloaded it, never will. I just see through this bullshit. Our own government is spying on us through all of these apps.
