      The "Anti TikTok" bill will destroy all freedom online PERIOD. It will give the Government FULL power to put any U.S. Citizen under surveillance for simply saying ANYTHING they don't like under the guise of being a terror ist. They can also Arrest and sentence you to over 20 years and fine you a million dollars and NONE OF IT CAN BE CONTESTED. Oh yeah it also makes VPN's 100% illegal and a federal crime.
      Edit: The bill has nothing to do with tiktok either.

    There were so many legitimate concerns about TikTok congress chose NOT to address

    • @VirtualyAnonymous
      @VirtualyAnonymous Год назад

      This is true. Because congress is going after TikTok for the wrong reasons. They're not actually concerned about American people and making sure the app is safe for us and our children. They're concerned about how quickly information can be spread, and that Americans can get more accurate news there than via the mainstream media. They want it shut down, because if we ever wise up and rise up, tiktok will be one of our tools and they're scared of it. They're going after tiktok because they care about themselves.

    • @yourlittleinsomniac5369
      @yourlittleinsomniac5369 Год назад +69

      It would have been nice if someone covered the fact that Tiktok is owned by a genocidal government that no one is holding accountable for:
      --genocide against Tibet, Uyghurs, Mongolians, and probably more
      --the horrific fate of political dissidents, people of faith (Uyghur Muslims, house Christians, Falun Gong, and more)
      --the fact that the CCP actively condones slave labor and CCP-owned companies engage in it constantly
      --the fact that the CCP harvests organs from live prisoners
      --the willful destruction of economies around the world through the belt and road initiative, product dumping, and intellectual property infringement, all of this actively done by CCP-owned companies
      --illegal overfishing in other countries' waters, harming their people and the ecology at the same time
      --the untold numbers of unsafe products full of cadmium, lead, and other toxins the CCP is actively trying to slip into every country in the world via bad apps like Temu and Aliexpress and Amazon
      --how Hong Kong ers were treated when they peacefully protested for their freedom, which was taken from them as the CCP willfully broke its international agreement with the UK
      --the fact that the CCP colluded with the US to create the beer virus (which our government needs to be held accountable for too
      --the fact that the CCP mass executed untold numbers of its own people, starving them in their own homes during the draconian lockdowns of the pandemic
      No app from the CCP should EVER be allowed in the United States. No PRODUCT made in China under CCP rule should be allowed in the United States. Or any country that purports to value human rights.

    "Is TikTok in the room with us" is actually a perfectly reasonable question.
    I'm assuming that they subpoena someone to be designated as a specific kind of witness. Then, for the purpose of the deposition or interview, that witness has been authorized to BE TikTok. They are supposed to be able to answer all any any questions in specified categories that would be info that anyone in TikTok would know about those categories. This may mean the witness having to go interview other workers or do research before the deposition/interview.
    So asking "Is TikTok in the room with us" is asking if this person is the designated rep, and asking if he's properly educated on the designated topics to answer because right now, he is TikTok.
