TikTok Ban

There's currently a strong, coordinated push to ban TikTok in the US.

The bill was dead about a year ago, but now, seemingly overnight, there's tremendous bipartisan support in Congress, in addition to lots of covering fire and propaganda stories running in legacy media.

Not sure what the timing is about or why this is happening all of a sudden.

This is part of the increasing hostility towards China. You can tell the US is headed for conflict with China just be listening to the Western monkey media. The rulers of the West are determined to keep China submissive to the hegemony and China isn’t going to comply. The only question is whether the war is going to be economic or nuclear.
 
Tik Tok is the source of so much culturally destructive crap, and it's clearly a weapon of the Chinese state. I've got no problem with Western governments taking a stance against it. My only issue is that they aren't this aggressive with other culturally destructive forces, but we know why that is. Moreover, as discussed above - its culturally destructive nature likely isn't why they're singling it out.
 
Congress couldn't care less if it was 1000x more culturally destructive. If it brainwashed children to prostitute themselves and commit ritual suicides en masse they would only say "muh private ownership" and "muh free speech", AS LONG AS their owner would censor all critizism of Israel and the US oligarchy.

Do these people don't know what a VPN or Tor browser is?

Well, according to the laws of the text quoted above, it only applies to sites with a marketplace. No profits = no power to regulate?

Putting on my small (devil's advocate) hat,

Enter Daniel Hugelberg, Esq.:

"Your honor, the CiK forum clearly is a digital marketplace. For a small fee, members are allowed to purchase a "Philanthropist" tag to go under their avatar."

Does this really make sense? No, but law today is just a form of Talmudic sorcery, and if they can wordsmith the right words together in front of a leftist judge, they can manipulate the law however they want. Maybe CiK is an extreme example, but they could definitely do it to Gab, since they literally have a "marketplace" and sell memberships with benefits.

I don't think most in Congress know, but neither does a large portion of TikTok users, who are basically ad revenue generating human batteries devoid of critical thinking, comparable to the human batteries from the Matrix, where anything beyond the complexity of downloading an app from the app store and asking for their parent's credit card information is in the realm of magic.

This website is too small and insignificant for them to bother at the time being. It's on the list for sure, as previous infiltration attempts have shown, but pretty far down the list.

And you are right about the fact that they can bend the law in whatever way they choose. If they want to ban this site they can and will, and nobody can stop them.

You're probably right, but it's plausible that they would work their way up from small and/or fringe websites to see what they can initially get away with and build precedent.

I would look for them to add a part about "online discussion forums" or something in that vein. Then it's lights out for sure.
