Pretty sure he means the tiktok bill?

  • Some feel its just a door way to censorship
  • Others feel its to kick the Chinese to the curb.
  • Some ( like my self ) think its mostly ( misguided ) legit intent out of fear of the Chinese but will be abused on day 2 due to a combination of lack of analytical thought, and intentional holes.

 

Truth lies somewhere between.

He said it was their dear leader, not ours.  Wrong nation.

The so-called "tiktok bill" is, like many bills, exactly the opposite of what it claims to be.  That piece of garbage is basically an Internet version of the Patriot Act, designed to give the government powers to infringe upon any site it wants to, just by saying "yep it's subversive and probably controlled by an enemy" without asserting any proof.  Furthermore, there is language written into the bill guaranteeing that any challenge or arbitration would be done in a Washington DC court, which assures us that their intention isn't to take down tiktok but rather to take down free speech and/or conservative sites.

That same 'law' is being discussed in several countries.  With the same reasoning, and 'holes' that could be potentially exploited. 

Perhaps there its an executive order where he is at, but its not just the US that is doing it.

To be fair,
I am in favor of the "tiktok-bill", because I see it's potential. On the other hand, this bill will also be used to grant the US-citizen less /muh/ freedom.
Why? The US-government will abuse this bill to spy their citizen more, i.e. back in the day of Bush and Obama the CIA and NSA spyed on their citizen due to fear of "national security". They needed an outside threat to justify their abusive relationship with technology which enhances mass-surveilance.
