A bipartisan bill to ban TikTok in the United States was introduced in Congress on Tuesday.

The Averting the National Threat of Internet Surveillance, Oppressive Censorship and Influence, and Algorithmic Learning by the Chinese Communist Party Act, or ANTI-SOCIAL CCP Act, would forbid transactions to TikTok or its parent company Bytedance Ltd., or a subsidiary or a successor company of the two.
Additionally, it would prohibit transactions with social media companies backed by China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba and Venezuela.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) introduced the Senate version of the bill, while Reps. Mike Gallagher (R-WI) and Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) introduced the House version.

The federal government has yet to take a single meaningful action to protect American users from the threat of TikTok. This isn’t about creative videos — this is about an app that is collecting data on tens of millions of American children and adults every day,” said Rubio. “We know it’s used to manipulate feeds and influence elections. We know it answers to the People’s Republic of China. There is no more time to waste on meaningless negotiations with a CCP-puppet company. It is time to ban Beijing-controlled TikTok for good.

TikTok is digital ******** that’s addicting Americans, collecting troves of their data, and censoring their news. It’s also an increasingly powerful media company that’s owned by ByteDance, which ultimately reports to the Chinese Communist Party – America’s foremost adversary,” said Gallagher.

Allowing the app to continue to operate in the U.S. would be like allowing the U.S.S.R. to buy up the New York Times, Washington Post, and major broadcast networks during the Cold War. No country with even a passing interest in its own security would allow this to happen, which is why it’s time to ban TikTok and any other CCP-controlled app before it’s too late,” added the Republican from Wisconsin.

At a time when the Chinese Communist Party and our other adversaries abroad are seeking any advantage they can find against the United States through espionage and mass surveillance, it is imperative that we do not allow hostile powers to potentially control social media networks that could be easily weaponized against us,” said Krishnamoorthi. “The bipartisan ANTI-SOCIAL CCP Act is a strong step in protecting our nation from the nefarious digital surveillance and influence operations of totalitarian regimes. Recent revelations surrounding the depth of TikTok’s ties to the CCP highlight the urgency of protecting Americans from these risks before it’s too late.”

A handful of states, including South Dakota and Maryland, have already banned TikTok for official use.

Considering the propaganda that's pushed on TIkTok (remember the TikTok in the West is toxic in comparison to outside of the West) and also the amount of data that is collected by China

LMAO, they have about as much success banning TikTok as they do reducing obesity in adults and children. Won't happen. Even if they do they'll find ways around it, just like they did at Fat Camp.

Surely it will, but when a developer knows they will get dropped they might at least moderate it a bit.

Still we need to ask does the gubberment have the right to tell us what we can and cannot see?

When you compare TikTok vs. Obesity, which is ultimately more harmful and damaging to the greater population? Yeah TikTok challenges have killed a few people and gotten people hurt. What's the total for people who die each year from Obesity related health issues? Data mining being their foundational argument, umm, unless you turn off your phones GPS or geo location in photos/videos and virtually don't use a browser, they'll always know where and which places you go to. I've gone to certain stores and the same day or later I'll get an ad for it and it's not by coincidence. Even using Google searching, they can tie everything together to your IP address and send advertisements in the mail, hell, they might even influence which types of commercials you have to watch on paid platforms. They think banning TikTok will put a dent into this issue?

There would be revolts by the youth, coomers, and incels if this were passed. Riots on the streets. Pure discord, mayhem, and chaos.

why? they have alot of practice deplatforming those they deem "antisocial". gab isnt in app stores and andrew anglin has to swtich domain registrars every other week (dailystormer.in currently lol) because he attended the unite the right rally where that fat jew bitch had a heart attack after witnessing a car accident.

the driver of the car also got railroaded by the jews for that matter and got a ton of jail time all because the fat pig's heart gave out

Tik Tac Toe was designed to destroy the west from the inside out, and make the US look beta and debased af. All social media is social engineering period, but TT is another type of diabolical.

Chinese Investors own more land in the US than Bill Gates.

We're playing Checkers, they're playing Chess.

They mastered social engineering, and most are largely oblivious.





I keep telling people all these cringy fringe subcultures and the obsession with identity politics is 100% PSYOPs and COINTELPRO.

No clue why people are yammering on about obesity ITT


All social media is cancerous but TikTok is likely the worst of the worst, and you can tell just by the way it tries to force you into installing the app any time you click anywhere on the stupid website. That has always been a huge red flag to me: nothing worth having will try to force you into its ecosystem like that, and scummy tactics like that should be a sign that something bad is happening.

Because if they wanted to successfully block or restrict Tiktok under the basis of protecting privacy and security, they would need to implement a nationwide data restriction where all cellphone carriers would specifically target and block access to TikTok, the same way if you try to use Google or ******** in China you'll end up with a dead page/link. Imagine the profit a cell carrier could make by choosing not to follow along with the legislation and be the one carrier that allows people to still access websites and apps unrestricted, they'd make a fortune on that alone. The government tried doing that with Whatsapp where you could no longer download the app and people who already had it could still use it. TikTok would then become pirateshare and people would still access it. When dealing with restricting internet related apps or features, it's whack-a-mole X1000.

Sure, it's not like they're trying to ban short-form video content and there have been plenty of examples in the past (hello Vine)

The concern is social media companies run by foreign entities of concern

Exactly.

All these delusions about people revolting need to end already.

Anybody who thinks that is clearly having problems dealing with reality.

The closes thing was what?

Covid "riots"?

It was all fake TimmOP, nothing more than a big photo opp.

In 100 years the official story will be about how there were all these crazy "riots" with video "evidence" to back it up and nobody alive to tell everyone about how fake and gay it really was.
The billionaire and the beggar both have 24 hours in a day.

That's why grandma's apple pie rocks and yours sucks.
