The bill to ban TikTok is absolutely terrifying. It gives the government the ability to go after anyone they deem as a national security risk at which point they can access everything from their computer to video games to their ring light. This is a Patriot Act for the internet.
Believe it or not, it gets even worse: If you find you in violation, they can put you in jail for 20 years, fine you $1M, and seize your property. They can also deem any foreign government an adversary without informing congress and everything they do is not subjected to FOIA.
@greg_price11 they're simply covering all their bases with buzzwords so that the legal language has no loop holes lmao.
@greg_price11 @threadreaderapp unroll please
@greg_price11 The main reason the DC collective wants to ban TikTok is b/c they are not the ones w/ their finger tipping the scales moderating TikTok content... If they had this ability, they wouldn't give a damn where the funding came from. It's about CONTROL.
@greg_price11 What's the matter, Greg? You scared you and your MAGA propagandists will finally be held accountable for your actions?
@greg_price11 If this passes they can flip the switch any time the narrative isn’t going their way. #control #Agenda2030
