richardmurray Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 I love the fact that the two parties can unite around this sole issue in the house of representatives. This issue represents the third path. HOUSE PASSES TIKTOK BILL: U.S. House PASSES bill forcing on requiring TikTok to divest from China or face U.S. ban, 352-65. pic.twitter.com/nokWGtgOPS — Kacee Allen (@KaceeRAllen) March 13, 2024 His reasoning Lead sponsor of the TikTok bill, Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI) admits the real reason they're rushing to ban TikTok -- because it's "becoming the dominant news platform for Americans under 30" and the US government doesn't control it like other platforms pic.twitter.com/MQcD3PQd51 — Michael Tracey (@mtracey) March 13, 2024 For me, this is the history of the internet. The internet with all of its usa based, infiltrating/spying/sneaking/data thieving websites was acceptable. but then, came, the first, and to date only non usa based website to truly gain mass appeal in the usa. Bytedance's tiktok and the usa system is full against it. Helping native americans get what they are owed? multivided Helping blacks get what they are owed? multivided Helping women grow faster? multivided Helping countries outside the usa improve? multivided Helping the fiscal poor in the usa? multivided Leading usa to isolation? multivided Keeping usa the center of international order? multivided Any other issue but Tiktok? Multivided Tiktok? complete unity I wonder how much money all the usa based tech firms are giving the government officials?:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As China is seen as the greatest adversary besides Russia, there's consensus among American elected officials to be in lockstep against them. However, a number of US investors are making money from TikTok so it remains to be seen if there will truly be a USA ban of the platform if it doesn't divest Chinese interest.

It doesn't seem like the House is divided at all on helping Black folks get what we are owed. Both parties are UNITED in not doing anything to help. If there is a party pushing such a program....please bring them to my attention, lol. As far as helping women "grow faster"......what does that mean exactly?

richardmurray Posted March 14 Author Report Share Posted March 14 @ProfD For me, I concur that china is deemed the strongest rival to the usa in the battleground of the internet which is the source of this issue . I don't know if that is what you are saying. yes, I did mention the house of representatives in the first sentence for a reason. @Pioneer1 Based on how you see the parties of governance you are 100% correct. I don't see a division but a multivision in both major, present in all 50 states, parties of governance. I will say it means nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if that is what you are saying. I was referring to China as a military adversary. Of course, having access to personal data on Americans helps with cyber attacks on our systems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
