Sure. Ignoring that this started in 2020 during Trump’s presidency.

And back then the Republicans were the party screaming about banning TikTok.

Now that israel is involved this became a lot less partisan very quickly.

I vote Democrat. I and everyone I’m aware of who wasn’t already addicted to TikTok supported banning it.

Maybe if your arguments contained an iota of good faith, they’d be taken seriously

Can you explain why we don’t ban the other social media platforms?

Yes. This has been ongoing since TikTok acquired musical.ly. The CFIUS didn’t care as much until it became popular. TikTok has tried to comply, so why isn’t the CFIUS and there considerations being heeded?
