    Lmao polls. Ok. We’ll just ignore the fact that the large public outcry the last two hearings stalled the proceedings forcing them to shove it through with another bill I guess.

    It’s literally illegal to make legislation targeting a single company. If you don’t see a problem with them breaking their own laws to please their corporate overlords then I don’t know what else I can tell you.

    My favorite part about replies like yours is how willing you are to stoop to the same level of China in retaliation. Even if it impacts millions of US citizens. But that doesn’t matter to you because you don’t like or use the app so what do you care right? Not to even mention the people that make a living through it.

      Whoa, take it easy there, friend. That got personal rather quickly. Are you mad? I don’t have a horse in this race one way or the other. I don’t use Tiktok but I don’t have anything against it either. It seems to me that social media apps pop up like dandelions and the main thing that determines whether or not they thrive is the number of people participating. I guess I’m wondering why anyone should care if Tiktok in particular survives or some other social media platform takes its place. They rise, they fall, but there always seems to be a replacement.
