The measure that sailed unanimously through the House Energy and Commerce Committee would prohibit TikTok from US app stores unless the social media platform — used by roughly 170 million Americans — is quickly spun off from its China-linked parent company, ByteDance.

US officials have cited the widespread commercial availability of US citizens’ data as another source of national security risk. The US government and other domestic law enforcement agencies are also known to have purchased US citizens’ data from commercial data brokers.

That’s why I said it. You don’t get the change you want even in small doses- by standing on street corners yelling at people to not vote.

That’s not how it works.

Well for something that never works it's tried impressively often. And it's no coincidence Biden's messaging changed after Michigan and Super Tuesday.

It didn’t change. And it’s hilarious that you’re taking credit for something he was going to do anyway.

Man you people really need to learn how nuanced diplomacy is.
