The only news source I've seen accurately describe this bill. Good job!
That's really crazy. I wonder if they're going to Cave to pressure.
Yes am frm tge gambia i love u s so much i like u s ban
I deleted mines because it was too much into peoples personal life idk then on top of that it stalks your contacts people you call but Facebook does the same thing deleted that too
But even the ones that want to ban it has the app themselves 😅😅😅😅
TikTok Take *Aren’t you closing the barn-doors after the horse got out? They already have all the customers information. Pushback… They could sell it.
Pelosi is cringe....I can't even describe what she was saying. Just no.
0:51 it keeps him informed 😂😂😂
He’ll sell and then buy more agricultural land near a military base …….what a joke
Don't we owe everything we have to China? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thanks for actually reporting what the bill does, everyone is calling it "tiktok ban"
How about they pass something needed, like H.R.303 - Retired Pay Restoration Act
Thats so corrupt! Force a business to sell and if they dont they get banned. You might as well just ban tiktok instead of forcing them to sell.
Seems fair if YouTube in banned in China.
All social media should be banned for people under the age of, say, 14. But to tell adults that they can't use the app. Ya, their intentions are not pure. I'm invoking the slippery slope on this one
I thought it was Singapore
When i described what the inernet is.to my grandmother.in 1999.she said it is evil.i understand it more every year.
They should ban tik tok from people being able to get paid for making content, same thing with youtube. That would cut down on people trying to be dumbass influencers.
Ban Cringe Tok please, thank you
It's only a threat because they can't control it lol
