House Speaker Johnson plans to package TikTok legislation with critical aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, and send it to the Senate. President Joe Biden vowed to sign it into law.
So it’s a rider with some important and time sensitive other things that need to pass. Headline is totally (and probably intentionally) misleading.
He could veto it, but it would cause actual harm because those funding bills would have to go back to Congress delaying much needed aid to Ukraine and Taiwan.
Biden has already indicated he in on-board with the TikTok ban so even if it wasn’t bundled in he would sign it. https://apnews.com/article/biden-tiktok-ban-house-china-aaa884d8c974f0a35856af5ee6aa4e99
While also expanding their own surveillance capabilities, right?
Yeah, tiktok is a Chinese data mine so… they don’t want it to go away, they vwanna control it.
Who downvoted this shit? This is 100% the case. The problem isn’t any of the negative effects of social media. The problem is that the US government doesn’t get to store and sort through all the data on TikTok like they do with US social media companies. They don’t give a shit about its effect on Americans. They just want the ability to use it against Americans like all the rest.
- People: Why doesn’t the government ever pass a law that protects its citizens.
– Government: Here’s a law to protect our citizens from a foreign government spying on them.
– Gen Z: Noooooooooooooo!!!
Ah but that foreign government is cool and good! Gen Z knows that because the propoganda platform they’ve become addicted to tells them that China is cool and good, so clearly the U.S. is bad and being mean to the Chinese.
Also large chunks of this one, too. Theyre really trying to make this seem like its about stripping ur privacy. Like, theres literally another bill right now thats passing thats actually about stripping away ur rights to digital privacy, this one in particular has nothing to do with that. This one truly is, adversarial govts shouldnt get to spy on our citizens.
I have literally never seen a single pro CCP tik tok. Been using it for several years daily. Not that they don’t exist, but if you’re not looking for them it certainly does not direct you to them.
Cool, do Twitter next. Wait, ban Elon…into the sun.
Glad to see Dems are taking the threat of Trump getting into power serious by focusing on issues that their base support:
Stop funding and supplying a genocidePacking the clearly biased court so things like student loan forgiveness can pass and all these anti trans and other crazy far right laws get shot downNot breaking rail road workers strikes- Banning one of the most popular social media apps
Nevermind the bill has bipartisan support! Republicans must have ZERO to do with this bill! 🙄
Get serious or get out.
Bringing up that it had bipartisan support is completely irrelevant.
The headlines are going to be “Biden signs bill banning Tick Tok”. When his support of a horrible genocide is already depressing how much non republicans want to vote for him going out and doing this is just adding more reasons.
Maybe you and him need to get actually serious and focus on things people actually care about.
He is only campaigning on “I’m not trump” like literally if you got to his website and click on “Joes Vision” you get taken to a 404 page. There’s nothing talking about where he stands on issues or what he offers.
