Al the problems in America and this is what the federal government decides to focus on

This was part of an overall package including aid to Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan.

Is that supposed to make it better?

They claimed that the government was focusing on this one issue when really it was a small part of a much larger legislation. Whether it's good or bad is a separate judgement.

Its not helping Biden not being able to censor information on his part genocide. None of them gave a fuck about tiktok until they told em to take down pro Palestinian content and got told "lulnope"

Tiktok has been a subject of national security concerns since at least 2020.

With absolutely zero tangible evidence, which is why it was a complete non-starter for four years until Biden lost control of the narrative.

Well, no. The courts struck down Trump's Tiktok ban because he used an executive order that overstepped his authority.

[-] Facebones@reddthat.com 2 points 5 months ago

Because executive order was the only way to get it done - other methods would have required evidence that doesn't exist. You're only backing my argument lmao.

[-] charonn0@startrek.website 2 points 5 months ago

That's the opposite of what the court said.
