BREAKING: House passes bill that could ban TikTok

#TikTok #Politics #SocialMedia

Sorry republicans ...but is this more important than the border legislation ( that you don't even want to take it to the floor for a vote)?

[roberthollingsworth]

Oh no! What will we do without videos of teenagers ingesting toxic substances on a dare! 😂

[LiftUpNotDown]

Ironic that it takes TikTok to get both sides to come together.

[crafty-lady]

Well, finally this Congress did something. I am Democrat and I agree Tik Tok is a risk to our National Security.

Some people make lots of money on TikTok. Sucks for them I guess.

[marka]

Tik Tok might only be gone in name only. Either other social media platforms will fill that void, Tik Tok will make adjustments to either return/stay, or something entirely new will pop up. That style of content delivery is a money-making machine and isn't going anywhere.

Well Trump, Your Monster Didn't Listen To

[Thadopeera]

All those idiots dancing on TikTok will be big mad 🤣🤣

[WalmartAnus]

Only the childish are upset about the TikTok ban

[Mrchair]

Pass legislation that meaningfully protects citizens online privacy ❌

Ban the app that does the same thing American apps do, but since it's Chinese and popular, now it's bad ✅

It's been said before and I'll say it again. I never used TikTok, I don't personally mind if this fully passes. But it leaves a bad taste in my mouth to outright force American ownership of a popular social network just because someone else figured out how to do what all the American social networks were already doing. Sets a very poor precedent imo.

Tik-Tok very dangerous, illegal immigrants not dangerous, way to go MAGA republicans.

[xWarPlays]

wasn't this bill including to help ukraine and to help middle east? i think those passed too along with the tiktok one.

[bbvqifm]

Watch half of Gen Z kids become drug addicts over night lol

[johnbrown]

It’s done too much already, people need to live in reality, not virtual reality

[Uzi]

Most annoying app fr get rid of that bs

[Mercstar]

We like our propaganda machines homemade tyvm.

[markmierzejewski]

People need to get iff Tik Tok and actually work
Not devote their life to being some sorta influencer… work.

[howardhughes]

Will removing it from the App Stores preclude it being installed and used? Seems that many people still obtain and do all sorts of illegal things.

[eccletic]

UH OH ...Time to get back to paying attention to anything longer than 2 mins! Oh my!

[Bryanbobber]

What will all the single mothers do now?!?
