People are intolerant. Let's not tolerate them. Now we are intolerant:

It's not a ban of tiktok when they are being forced to sell to a usa company.
And in what way will free speech be hurt? Now I can make jokes about Xi Jinping looking like Winnie the pooh on tiktok once the USA owns it. If anything speech will be more free and this is a shitpost from a China shill.
Fuck the CcP and Fuck Xi jinping! - free enough for you?
The actual problem is that the language of the bill is looking to make it far easier for a president to ban any given potentially foreign influenced video platform. That's not fantastic and it's been masked under these compounding layers of absurdity.
Why are you so angry? I never meant or even said what you are implying i did. Quiet the contrary: read the wikipage again, its about when it is justified to act like the side you want to ban.
I calmly and deliberately don't like the ccp or xijinping.
