The far-left ACLU is urging Congress not to ban the China-owned social media platform TikTok.
“Congress will consider a bill that effectively bans TikTok for people in the U.S., and the way that they’re planning to do it will undermine our First Amendment rights for years to come,” the woman continued.
“The law would forbid U.S. citizens from engaging with entities that may transfer sensitive personal data to a foreign entity that is subject to the influence of China,” she added. A TikTok ban would allegedly “limit Americans’ political discussion, artistic expression, free exchange of ideas — and even prevent people from posting cute animal videos and memes,” the ACLU said in a letter to lawmakers, according to a“Americans have a right to use TikTok and other platforms to exchange our thoughts, ideas, and opinions with people around the country and around the world,” the ACLU added.
“TikTok is already one of the most powerful media companies in American history, and it’s still growing. It’s not just dances and kid stuff. It’s becoming a major source of news for a generation of Americans,” he added.for being nothing more than Chinese surveillance and psyops thinly veiled as a social media platform. The Chinese app has already shown itself to be a danger for kids and teens, a national security threat, and meddling in U.S. elections.
