House passes Tiktok bill 360-58. Senate backed into a corner.

By attaching the TikTok bill to funding for Ukrainian military equipment and Israeli missile defense, House Republicans put the pressure on Senate lawmakers to consider the whole package in a single up-or-down vote.
Policy analysts expect the Senate to take up the aid package quickly, giving it high odds of passage. And President Joe Biden has previously said he would sign the TikTok legislation if it reaches his desk.
The fast-tracking of the TikTok bill shows how policy priorities outside the company’s control have merged to create a potent and potentially devastating outcome for an app that’s beloved by many young Americans but that US officials say is a national security risk.
The version of the bill approved Saturday would, if signed, give TikTok 270 days to find a new owner, up from the roughly six months contemplated under prior versions of the legislation. And the bill also gives the White House an option to extend that deadline another 90 days if the president determines there’s progress toward a sale.

Both are bad for America, which is why the Senate will pass it.

Screw everything in this bill… the tax payer money going to another foreign country and the stomping down of free speech.
I hate TikTok, but this is a slippery slope.

I am not a fan of Tik Tok, but a fan of our Constitutional Rights. If Free Speech is slurred and dwindles… This will open the door to control other rights. This is in fact a slippery slope that threatens us all. Free Speech is how our country started. I have no desire to use my Second Amendment to keep our country unified.

Pretty sad that the only thing our politicians can agree on is funding other countries and banning TikTok. Damn our country has gone retarded.

Yes, it is 100% guaranteed they will use this to ban twitter next. Maybe even before the election.

The reason the State dislikes Tic Toc is because they can’t censure it.

It's not a ban.
As I understand it the Chinese have to sell their control of it.
Calling it a ban is using the same tactics the leftists did when they screamed "Don't Say Gay!" concerning Florida's laws against pushing porn on elementary students.

This.
The same populists here accusing everybody in the damn world of colluding with other countries to take the US down don't want to stop the one example of it actually happening by disallowing a Chinese propaganda platform.
You can't make this stuff up.

if it does nothing else than stop the scourge that is tik tok pranks, i'm on board with it.
i believe it gives them 270 days to find a new owner

Never underestimate the GOP’s ability to step on their own dicks.

When the State forces the sale to an American company the State will be able to censor it.
