This "TikTok ban" is no such thing.
It is designed to give the President power to force a social media company to either sell themselves to Big Tech, or be banned, if he considers it to be a "foreign adversary".
Here is the criteria for "foreign adversary".
Look at the highlighted one.
It's basically what they've been calling @elonmusk for the past 3 years: "directed by Putin."
They will use this against X, Rumble, and any other platform or website they don't like, and all they have to do is say they're under "control" of a foreign adversary.
If this passes, it will be more destructive to freedom of speech than every other law that has come before it.
@genentech It would be really amazing if you didn't remind my wife of her MS every other commercial! Why don't you advertise to neurologists who can actually prescribe your wares! #mayzentisbetteranyways
Government fought the numbers game, then introduced the lottery.
It fought ponzi schemes, then introduced Social Security.
It fought organized crime, then introduced the FBI, civil forfeiture and qualified immunity.
Government doesn't fight crime.
It fights competition.
@AMCTheatres Your location code on your website is shit. If I disable location and try to manually enter a zipcode it bombs and says no theater within 50 miles. Even though there is a theater in that zipcode.
