TikTok is back but with an uncertain future. Congress passed a law banning it, and the Supreme Court backed them up. The Chinese Communist Party runs TikTok despite claiming they don’t. It shut down for several hours this morning, but Donald Trump promised to pass an executive order for the 90-day reprieve. He is supposed to prove he has legitimate buyers, but we aren’t sure if that is the case.
According to The Free Press, Of TikTok’s restoration of service in the U.S., Senator Tom Cotton said: “Any company that hosts, distributes, services, or otherwise facilitates communist-controlled TikTok could face hundreds of billions of dollars of ruinous liability under the law, not just from DOJ, but also under securities law, shareholder lawsuits, and state AGs. Think about it.”
Refugees from TikTok are heading for REDnote, which is another Chinese Communist Party app.
Bari Weiss, who owns The Free Press, interviewed Ted Cruz about it:
Senator Cruz: Because the statute provides that it can be waived for 90 days. And the statute provides that it can be waived in order to facilitate a sale. So I don’t know what Trump is or isn’t going to do on this. If we are sitting here 91 days from now and TikTok is still live and China is still owning and controlling it, that will be a very dangerous situation because the Chinese communist government uses TikTok—number one for espionage and number two to push propaganda and very harmful content to our children that pushes self-harm, suicidal ideation, substance abuse, antisemitism, anti-Americanism and anti-capitalism. It is a potent propaganda tool. The Chinese variant of TikTok, for their kids—number one, the hours they can use it are limited, and number two, they’re pushing things like math and hard work and discipline.
Weiss: It’s like Khan Academy.
Cruz: It really is astonishingly harmful. So their kids are studying calculus and our kids are being told to chew Tide Pods. That’s a problem.
From inauguration weekend in D.C., @TedCruz and @BariWeiss discuss the uncertain TikTok ban, antisemitic universities, how Kamala Harris could have won, the “vibe shift,” and what the GOP stands for now. pic.twitter.com/cswzwYayUr

There is no possibility that the Entire world is this Stupid! The Entire Internet Pushes all kinds of KIDDY self-harm, Propaganda, Anti-EVERYTHING … Pornography … Satanism … SADOMASOCHISM … YOU NAME IT, THEY ALL DO IT!
So … Do we ban the entire Internet, or should “Parents be Parents” and Control their Children? Government being MOMMY and DADDY, AGAIN? COME ON, PEOPLE!
And, forget the Chinese Tic-Toc Spies … The CHINESE HAVE Armies of H1-B Professional Spies in every Technical, Engineering, Medical and Government Platform x Infinity! Game Over. You lost, America.
However, you allow your government to mock you by banning a freedom of speech and expression platform? Have you looked into the possibilty that they are Jealous; because they cannot Censor it if the Chinese own it? Come on People, Really!
And, what is the Chinaman going to do to me? NOTHING. I do not worry about China. I worry about the US government spying on me. You should too.
AWWW … So, the US government wants to ban the Chinese Company because they do not want anyone infringing on their Censorship and Spying Monopoly. How Sad. I`d rather have the Chinese Spying on me then the US government. Now, Any of you Freedom Fries want to Challenge me on that; because I have Experience.
Oh, and the Chinese have H1-B spies in every technical , governmental , medical and Industrial sector in this Country. They know everything and send it back to China on a Daily Basis. So, banning Tic Tok is a Complete JOKE!
I guess they do not want any of you Freedom Fries seeing pictures of Chairman MAO and learning the Truth. You know, I`d believe the DEVIL himself before a WORD out of the US Governments Lying Prostitute Mouth! Sorry God; but the US government is Far Worse than Satan. See … I had a T/S US government Clearnance! So … I know.
Yeah, so what. How harmful is the COVID vaccine, which was never tested, and is now being given to infants, toddlers, young children, pregnant women and healthy teens, along with everyone else? How harmful is this poison, Ted Cruz? What are you doing to stop it from being falsely labeled as a “vaccine” when it doesn’t stop one from getting COVID or transmitting COVID, but has killed many Americans. Tens of millions. What about the COVID vaccine Senator Cruz?
“Chinese communist government uses TikTok—number one for espionage and number two to push propaganda”
“and number two to push propaganda”
So, just like The Dem-Left-Media-Complex here…..
