    It sets a pretty chilling precedent that non-American competition can be forced to sell to Americans for (insert arbitrary reason here).

    I am in favor of TikTok at least becoming restricted to adults only if not outright banned, just warning about the consequences of doing it this way.

      It’s owned by the CCP who is currently trying to undermine our election. It tried to do it in Taiwan where I currently live.

      It really doesn’t set a bad precedent forcing a foreign adversary to have less control over the US population. We should really force the sale of a lot of Chinese properties in the US as well. A foreign government should not have so much control over rental and housing prices in the US.

      Why are you pro foreign adversary controlling the daily lives of Americans? It’s a very odd stance to take and openly say unless you’re not American obviously.
