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.
Russian apps got banned with this bill too.
What Russian apps?
There’s only one app impacted by this. It’s unconstitutional on it’s face by being a bill of attainder in every way except actually including the name.
The bill restricts apps from China, Russian, Iran, & North Korea. It is not just about TikTok.
Oh yes the famous Russian and North Korean Social Media apps in the US.
This is a Bill of Attainder in everything but naming TikTok in the bill. Even if it passes judicial review it will not achieve what you guys think it will. The CCP will just buy the data and run targeted ads through X, FB, and Google. But foreign propaganda is okay as long as a wealthy American profits right?
