The House Foreign Affairs Committee voted to approve a bill that would give Pres. Biden the authority to ban TikTok in the United States. Some lawmakers and advocates say the measure could disrupt online speech freedoms.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy told reporters on Tuesday he hasn’t read the bill yet and wouldn’t comment on it. Ultimately, it would be up to McCarthy and House GOP leadership to bring the bill to the floor, where it would be expected to pass. "Make no mistake, TikTok is a national security threat. It allows the CCP to manipulate and monitor its users while it gobbles up Americans’ data to be used for their malign activities. Anyone with TikTok downloaded on their device has given the CCP permission and a back door to all their personal information. In other words, it’s a spy balloon in your phone," McCaul said at the top of a Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on the bill on Tuesday.

Not assault rifles but technology

Damn remember when trump thought about doing that and he was called racist

I’m sure it’s not because they just bought 300 million in meta stock, using government to end competition is literally the U.S. end game

Biden is eying his 10%

Yet a spy balloon is allowed to traverse over continental U.S.

This is a national security issue not a speech freedom issue. This nonsense is what our adversaries count on that allows them to continue to invade our privacy.

Biden isn't going to do that he is in bed with China

Good lord you’re posting on an app that collects your data and if you use Facebook or Instagram and all those a other apps it’s the same as TikTok !!

throw it in the national security bucket and ban it. NSA never worries about online speech freedoms...

I wonder how the Gen Zers will be brainwashed to vote democrat if Tik Toc is banned. 🤔 I guess they’ll still have the lame stream media.

Hmm 🤔 President Trump wanted to ban Tik Toc years ago, I guess he was right, AGAIN!

Probably 80% of Biden's voter base uses the CCP app TikTok. He would never ban it like Trump would ban it.

The damage this app has done to all users of it will never be known. Probably the largest heist of American personal data in history.
