Once again hijacking legitimate concerns to push an Agenda.
There are extremely valid reasons to want Tiktok looked into, such as their algorithms or otherwise, however once more this is being used to push an agenda.
By algorithms, just to clarify, I mean stuff like how in China, it's all patriotic content etc, while in the West it's just pure degeneracy.
My tink tonk features zero degeneracy and only awake people using their shifty social media tool against them. Literally flipped the script. People need to use the algos to their advantage. Unfortunately you need to be "awake" to realize and do this. Tink tonk is awesome and anyone who believes the China narrative isn't truly awake.
they have to take total control of all forms of communication and avenues of sharing information.. we're about to be in the absolute muck when the global financial crisis hits..
Lastly want to say that this Bill, is centered around what they call "foreign adversaries" - here's that definition per the Bill:
(8)
Foreign adversary
The term foreign adversary—
(A)
means any foreign government or regime, determined by the Secretary, pursuant to sections 3 and 5, to have engaged in a long-term pattern or serious instances of conduct significantly adverse to the national security of the United States or the security and safety of United States persons; and
(B)
includes, unless removed by the Secretary pursuant to section 6—
(i)
the People’s Republic of China, including the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and Macao Special Administrative Region;
(ii)
the Republic of Cuba;
(iii)
the Islamic Republic of Iran;
(iv)
the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea;
(v)
the Russian Federation; and
(vi)
the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela under the regime of Nicolás Maduro Moros.
I wonder if this actually has something to do with it being the only way to curb the distribution cheese pizza and other serious crimes that occur online? Make it improve for a dark web to exist?

I know exactly what you mean. My Tik Tok is now one of the most vital sources of information for me and my wife.
Can’t believe everything you see on there, but it certainly exposes A LOT of shit that I’ve never seen on social media of any kind before.
Hijacking the top comment for question asking:
What is the status on the bill and how much time we have to stop it?
If this is the case and the republicans wrote it then it just shows even more we can trust them either
Ironically there is more free speech occurring on TikTok than any other popular social media platform.
Why is Grassley a cosponsor? Sheesh.
Hes a sell out. Always has been. Im from iowa and i cant stand him.
Oh well on Grassley.
Can someone confirm whether it bans VPNs? There was talk on that on the social media.
It establishes the secretary of state as a dictator. They could easily ban VPNs. They can enact whatever regulation they desire.
Here's the link to the Bill:

Yeah, it’s garbage legislation that needs to get shot down in a big way.
But it has the word Patriot in the name?
the bill has a provision to let the president decide if a stock is posing a national security threat!
they have to take total control of all forms of communication and avenues of sharing information.. we're about to be in the absolute muck when the global financial crisis hits..
Which of these bills is it? There's quite a few in the works...

Oh it's the RESTRICT ACT - here it is:

And it gives WAY to much power to the Executive branch and the Secretary of Commerce:
