Both the Economist and the WSJ state explicitly that the main reason the TikTok ban picked up so much bipartisan steam in DC since Oct. 7 was because of how much Israel criticism was allowed to air and circulate on the platform (see below).

But really! It’s all about China!

@benshapiro

The House has voted to separate TikTok from its Chinese Communist Party ownership. It’s nice to see a bit of bipartisan sanity once in awhile.

    Social media apps are invasive. Social media apps controlled by adversarial governments are dangerous. This is true regardless of who we’re talking about. The pearl-clutching over ‘censorship’, ‘racism’, etc. is kind of ridiculous.
