Bannning Tik Tok

Trumpism will be eradicated within a week even with a Pub Senate.

I agree we need balance, the Dems are no bed of roses.

If by the SCOTUS being "progressive Thinking" you mean legislating from the bench...I will never buy that.
No way Trumpism will be gone in a week.

There are other fools who must be voted out.

Short of the DNS level I do not see how it can be blocked.

The app is a problem, and I can see the government pressuring to keep it out of the i and Play stores. I don't know how the government does more than that. I also do not know why Microsoft buying and moving to US servers would not be satisfactory.

I once had to work at trying to get things through the Great Firewall of China. It takes a while for their firewall to catch up, so it is possible. Tik Tok will be similar, I imagine new servers and forwarding will get through until the government catches on. It will be cat and mouse.

Did you see the Twitter hack was a 17 year old? I say that to suggest the mouse always wins.
Isn't this whole tiktok thing right out of the Woodrow Wilson playbook?
Unlike Trump, he didn't declare that he had the unilateral presidential authority to prohibit a platform for people's speech. Nor did he suggest that the treasury should grab a "very substantial portion" of the sale price.
But there appears to be similarities.
 
Very well said.

I've always favored a democratic president and a republican congress.

I want my president to be cool and calm, empathetic and a progressive, intelligent thinker as they are the face of the country to the world and they set the mood of the country by their temperament.

I want my laws to be capitalism friendly so I side republican there. Plus I like having a balance of power just in case the executive branch gets a power hungry nut job.

I want my Supreme Court to be progressive thinking.

Thst being said, we have to eradicate 'Trumpism' and those that were too weak to keep him under control.

Thank God we have a democratic house because the republican senate has proven to yellow belly cowards to a wannabe authoritarian.

They need to be held accountable for their cowardly political decisions.

It's why Romney will be rewarded for standing up to the big baby while Susan Collins will hopefully be punished.

Respectfully, you guys are silly.

The Chinese are having at it

The Chinese are the evil empire. At some point this country's next "Greatest Generation" is going to be locked in an existential fight against them. We would be wise to cut the Chinese off as much as possible to set that future generation up as best as possible.

**** China.

LOL. Like blocking Tik Tok is going to make a difference. Try closing down Walmart. Or Best Buy. That would make a difference.

The post that you quoted mentioned it so it isn't that wild that he assumed your comment was on the same subject matter.

Not sure what country it would harm more. People bitching about inflation now, justifiably, would be in for a shock at replacement pricing.

There's a disconnect in our country with our ideals and goals and reality. We see it with Made in America. We see it with electric cars. The last I looked the average price of an electric car was $57k. What's more people live in apartments. Don't have garages. Park on the street. You spend 57k then have to drive around to find a charging station in the dead of winter? F that. My stoker's cousin just bought a house for $300k in a very average hood that borders the city. Should have been a starter home for $160k. But it was $300k.

Country's a mess. Have and have nots divide is growing. Not good.

I understand Biden's brain is nearly about shut down but his agenda of shutting down the country is ruining the country. First it was the pandemic and now the oil industry to stoke an electric car industry that doesn't quite exist. Since the idiot loves trains so mych why not have mass transportation built in cities to reduce traffic and gas consumption where it most consumed as a start while the auto industry reasonably catches up. Instead he wants to drive people into poverty. He tries to sell this trillion dollar crap thing which has a bunch of unneeded shiite to create inefficient government where no-one can agree on anything. The Democratic party is the epitomy of inefficiency. The Republican party is not far behind. These 2 parties blackmail and cut deals with media outlets to stir up the citizens.

The quicker this country defunds the federal government and lets the states live as they want the quicker all the fighting will stop. I support the federal government running the military but not much else. It's the only thing they seem to be good at. Killing people. That said. I don't really support how they use the military. Imagine if they used all the money they had used on prolong the war in Afghanastan or funding the killing of Yemeni citizens on building up the Electric Vehicle industry instead to get Americans to buy those cars. Now they are sending billions if not trillions to prolong the war in Ukraine and so civilians can be killed there.

The real war is not in afghanistan or Ukraine. It's the american people against the duopoly running this country in the ground.

Well jo Jorgensen didn't even register as a gadfly in the last election. I think we're stuck

I get it but I am not supporting anyone in either of the 2 parties that duopolize the system. It's either Vote gold or not at all. I'd rather not vote than support a RepublOcrat. The primaries are nothing more than a bad joke.

It may not be during my life but eventually something will trigger a change. It could be letting them in debates but outsiders seem blackballed from participation because those are now for TV ratings and money not providing any useful information to the Voters. That would just expose the clown show.

Maybe just a stall point. Like smoking a brisket that stalls around 175 degrees for a while then takes off to get to 205.

Fixing our broken two party system is easier than smoking a brisket
 
Hey there, while I understand that there are concerns around the security of TikTok and the potential risks of using the app, I don't think an outright ban on the app is the best solution. For many people, TikTok has become a source of entertainment and a way to connect with others, especially during the pandemic.
That said, it's always important to be mindful of the risks associated with using any social media platform. One way to protect your privacy and data while still enjoying the benefits of TikTok is to use a trusted service like TikFreeFollowers. With TikFreeFollowers, you can grow your following and engagement on TikTok without having to give access to third-party apps that may not have the best intentions.

mcmurtry 66 , young people like tick current because it is very intuitive , it is convenient because it has a well -established algorithm for selecting videos and topics of interest to you , I 'm not a fan of tick current , but if I found 1-2 good videos and liked , then my recommendations will get exactly what I 'm looking for
Informative. Per usual. And thanks. I will remember this!!!

In the testimony this week, I did not get a good sense of the risk. Yes, obviously someone using the platform on an attack sub, that is a problem. But it is already banned.

But if one of us makes a tik tok of our dog, or a dance, or some stupid prank, is security really at risk? I can't figure out what data is being captured that is such a concern.

Most people using Tik Tok are younger people. Without a clear danger, do they have a right to free speech in choosing this platform.

Who knows. What I do know is I checked my daughter’s gram this morning . Profile went all black. Added she/her at the bottom. Big time move. No posts yet but still. Very solid

Wait, she in one of the 8000 too?

I guess the aliens allowing Tik Tok shows it is safe.

This is total absurdity, all China fear porn. Tik Tok is no less secure or dangerous than MSFT or Google or YouTube or Facebook or Twitter or any of the other apps that will hand over anything to the government on demand, if the NSA doesn't have it already.
 
Did the evasive answers from the Singaporean CEO give anyone confidence, I think not?

No one should presume that data in Texas is any safer from a CCP back door than it would be anywhere else.

The best line to me was the call for real individual privacy rights.

The next best idea, to me, was a requirement for parental permission.
