I don't use social media, and don't know what it even is. But I thought that it was called a "national security threat" to Americans once before?
So, is Tik Tok a national security threat or not???

I think the law says it needs to be owned by an American interest. I guess the thinking is an American company would be subject to American privacy laws if those actually exist.
He wants Americans to buy it. For the record this website is Social Media. Is it a Cancer?
Yes. People need to start talking to each other face to face again.
Supposed to be able to store info for possible future and possible blackmail down the line
Blackmail only works if the information you collected was legit. But yes you can definitely collect information on an enemies list with it. As far as TT it needs to sold to some Americans. Lots of good Chinese people in the world. The ones that belong to the CCP not so much. If I had my way we would decouple from them tomorrow for National Security reasons. Unfortunately many experts in the financial world understand it will take a little more time.

I don't disagree but be careful what you wish for. Some people are harder to deal with face to face.
Mine is when they go low kick them in the head.
I mean we let Chinese spy Fang Fang screw a Rep for inside knowledge and Schiff to lie so what's the big deal.I don't know....just amazes me how people's opinions suddenly change.

Nobody's opinion changed. Everyone wants to see ownership change.
What-abouts. Love them..........first it was that Tik Tok was a "national security risk" and that nobody can trust Chinese owners.......to now saying we should have American "joint-ownership" in it with the Chinese?
Next flip-flop is crypto.......once said "a scam against the dollar" to now being called the "first crypto president".
There's definitely a couple of far left Activist on here as well as couple of Never Trumpers. But calling this place a Cancer might be a little harsh.
I haven't said a word about crypto. The problem with TikTok is Chinese are playing a long game and 15 years isn't a long time to keep info in storage. I thnk it should be sold but what do I know,What-abouts. Love them.

I'm not a fan of Crypto replacing the dollar. I still voted for him. We got bigger problems than a handful of nerds that like that kind of stuff. He just appointed someone that said no to a CBDC.
I think you are missing the point altogether.What-abouts. Love them..........first it was that Tik Tok was a "national security risk" and that nobody can trust Chinese owners.......to now saying we should have American "joint-ownership" in it with the Chinese?

He’s trying to play gotcha on a very nuanced discussion. By setting the boundaries of the discussion eliminating the context, he thinks he’s making a valid point. I haven’t weighed in on it because it’s so transparent it’s just dumb.
If you try to apply nuance and context, it’s “derp, you’re flip flopping, derp derp.”
