    I don't like what TikTok is doing. We need a solution to that. But, I suspect the only reason Biden wants to divest TikTok from China is so that the US government can use it for nefarious purposes instead of China using it for nefarious purposes.

    Solution? Nuke it. Nobody can use it for nefarious purposes if it's no longer available in the US.

    Was anyone surprised?

    And will this change anyone’s opinion?

    We’re so divided.

    Republicans: "China is evil! We must keep China out of America!"
    Also Republicans: "Biden is trying to keep China's TikTok out of America - we need to keep China in control!"

    We get so blinded with hating Democrats that we fail to follow our own logic. The GOP is quickly turning into a simple anti-Dem party. We've lost our way. That failed miserably for the Dems in trying to be anti-GWB, and it will end badly for us.

    TikTok: "No, we don't have control over our users."
    Also TikTok: "Users! Assembly! Fight for China's control!"

    One need only look to the absolute assault that TikTok'ers unleashed on Congress to be really, really, concerned about this. What happens when China in Invades Taiwan? What do you think TikTok will be like?

    As to the idea that the US Govt. will control and use it for nefarious purposes, why worry? Trump will be in power soon and he can control it. But seriously, are you scared that a US company can't run TikTok servers without being a shill of .gov? Isn't Truth Social a US company? Why aren't you worried about it being a shill of .gov? Do you really trust China, a completely communist country, more than the Land of the Free? Have you gone that far?

    And wait - Truth Social is run and owned by a political candidate, does that not bother you?

    That's a pretty gross misrepresentation. The users not wanting the app to be banned does not mean Tik Tok has control of them.

    We don't need the government trying to save people from themselves yet again. Using Tik Tok is a choice. People should have the right to make that choice.
