I hate how this is framed against TikTok when the bill will give the power to ban ANY application THEY see as a SECURITY THREAT. It’s just censorship repackaged.

The design of storefronts is critically important for the vitality of cities.

When the ground level is welcoming, it activates the street which leads to more people walking around, safer neighborhoods, & more prosperous small businesses. When its neglected, the results are sad.
