There is no doubt that TikTok poses a threat to the United States. In control of the Chinese communists, this app is used by a great chunk of our population.
It is already banned on military devices, Federal Government devices, a number of State devices including Iowa, and now an increasing number of universities have banned it on their WiFi.
The proposal to ban it outright would have my support if it wasn't for the way they want to do it - something called the Restrict Act.
If you haven't read it, well here's former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard to explain. "The Restrict Act not only bans Americans from using TikTok, it is a Patriot Act 2.0 for the Internet. It would give the government unfettered access to all the data on our computers, phones, security cameras, internet browsing history, payment applications and more. It throws the Freedom of Information Act out the window, cannot be challenged in court, and criminalizes the use of a VPN with up to 20 years in jail and $1M fine."
Washington DC is incapable of having a one issue Bill. "Ban TikTok! All in favor say Aye!". Nope. Everything is a power grab. This one would restrict citizens and spy on citizens in an unfathomable way.
What now? Does TikTok or it's potential banning scare you more?
