Every day, over 2 billion people use the social media app TikTok. Many of them are young people under his 24th year. tick tock works. TikTok allows users to upload short videos. They are typically less than 30 seconds.
Interestingly, the content of these videos varies greatly depending on your country of residence. If you’re in China, where TikTok is headquartered, you tend to get more educational content, but if you live in this country, you’ll find an awful lot of filth and propaganda geared toward children. I am not guessing about this. We did an experiment last summer to prove it. clock.
Carlson: Chinese residents of TikTok, what children in China see is very different from what your children see here. Such videos are very common.
Well, it’s kind of weird. Can you see what’s going on here? Well, China does. They run TikTok and China knows it. If you want a productive society that will last the next week and beyond, teach your children about hard work, creativity, personal responsibility, and respect for authority, but if you want to destroy society, pour tons of garbage into them. Gender, ideology, twerking. As aLibs of TikTok has extensively documented, that’s exactly what TikTok is doing here. There are many different genres of videos that teachers boast about instilling in their children.
First teacher: I asked some students to come out not only about their sexuality, but also about their gender identity. He’s one of the reasons I think it’s so important to be loud and proud.
Second teacher: I teach elementary school students about gender identity. Some are girls. There are also boys. Some have both, some have neither.
Third teacher: I He looks around when I tell him there is a flag in class that he can pledge allegiance to. He says, “Oh, what?”
Needless to say, Netnet, as they say, TikTok does not have a positive impact on American society, and now, in response to criticism of TikTok, the Chinese government and the company itself are criticized when they reacted. doing the same thing. Allegations of laboratory leaks in Wuhan. They say that anyone who asks questions is racist. is possible.
Politico, an ideologically completely corrupt organization in Northern Virginia, has a so-called playbook sponsored by Tik Tok every other week. Meanwhile, CNN put its tech reporters on air to report that criticizing TikTok exposes Chinese Americans to “hate and violence.” Criticizing TikTok is killing Asians.
So, in the face of all this, you might now support efforts in Congress to ban TikTok outright. A lot of people do that on the left as well as on the right. This is interesting. It’s one of those weird moments when there’s or seems to be some kind of bipartisan consensus, and that alone might make you want to pause for a moment. Is it really a good idea if everyone in power says the same thing? Again, this is not a defense of TikTok, just an acknowledgment of what is really happening in Washington right now.
The dark side of TIKTOK: why it’s not just a fun app and should be removed
So one of the bills is Ban TikTok Like we said, it’s being pushed by senators from both parties called regulatory legislation. Mark Warner of Virginia and Democrat and Republican John Thune of South Dakota introduced the bill. Now, the bill is ostensibly aimed at protecting America’s national security and ending election interference by “foreign enemies” through apps like TikTok. However, election interference by TikTok is completely unacceptable. OK. But really, if you’re against TikTok, you should know that this bill isn’t meant to ban him. that’s not what they say.
Instead, the bill would give the federal government enormous and terrible new powers to punish American citizens and regulate how they communicate with each other. For example, the bill regulates “certain transactions between persons in the United States and foreign adversaries.” So what are foreign enemies and who has the power to decide?The Secretary of Commerce and the Department of Commerce and her DNI, not Congress, decide what foreign enemies are. Well, that should trip a switch in your brain, and dealing with a foreign adversary “includes the acquisition, importation, transfer, installation, trade, or use of information and communications technology, products, or services.” provide compulsory services, data transfer, software updates, repairs, or data hosting services.” Well, that’s pretty broad.
Under the bill, as determined by the Biden administration, it would allow Secretary of Commerce Gina Lymund and Director of National Intelligence Avril Haynes to engage with so-called foreign adversaries. , to determine whether they are acting in the “interests of a foreign enemy”.
Again, this is another term that the Executive Branch, the Secretary of Commerce, can define without Congressional interference. Therefore, if the Biden Administration determines that you are doing this, the Secretary of Commerce will provide “mitigating measures to address the risks arising from covered transactions with any person or with respect to property subject to U.S. jurisdiction.” U.S.A.” Oh, and these covered transactions could include “present past or possible future transactions,” and the mitigation measures may include US citizens imprisonment for 20 years.
Why Banning TIKTOK Is So Hard In The U.S., According To Experts
Think about it. That would allow the executive branch of the Biden administration to regulate speech on the internet, if in any way involved with a “foreign adversary” or against a war with Russia. Let’s say there is Year. So this is not about banning him from TikTok. This is to introduce totalitarianism into our system.
Now, people trying to ban Tik Tok just because it’s not that appealing, just because it’s a creepy low IQ Chinese plot designed to make your child transgender Doesn’t mean it has your interests in mind. Oh, it’s definitely not an American thing. Keep in mind, these are the very same people who depleted our strategic oil reserves and actually promoted China at every turn. I am saying there is. it’s not.
This is not an effort to push back against China. It’s part of a strategy to make America more like China, with government control over what you read and watch and terrible punitive powers at your fingertips.
Now, this has been seen over and over again by the National Security State. For example, after 9/11, the federal government, confronted by foreign adversaries, will use this opportunity to extend police powers over American citizens. They do it under false pretenses and do it quickly by making people panic.
Usually it is rooted in some truth. TikTok is certainly bad. Al-Qaeda, of course, was bad, but these measures are not aimed at stopping foreign threats. They aim to control the American population. They rush through it and do it so quickly that no one can explain exactly how this maintains America’s national security. Now according to Sandy Cortez (she ), and Congress is not even briefed on the matter. clock.

Contact person, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Normally, when the United States is proposing a very large move involving serious risks to national security, one of the first things that happens is that Congress receives classified briefings, but Congress receives classified briefings. I would say no.Regarding allegations of national security risks related to tick tockSo why propose a ban when you have no clue about such a serious issue?
Again, if you think we’re crazy, we’re defending Sandy Cortez. It should be pointed out that she is a tool of the National Security State. I act for my motives.
But the question she poses is true, and we want to be honest about it. A comment in Washington that degrades and renders our free country unrecognizable.
