For the record - I'm a 100% in favor of an outright ban, not a forced sale, of TikTok. Since it's not a private company, but a CCP organ, it's a matter of Defense that has nothing to do with private property and speech rights. This is about not allowing an enemy terrorist organization to camp freely on your backyard in the first place, but also a matter of not FUNDING it with the money of the sale. Why would you allow any American company to send them hundreds of millions of dollars, so they can simply turn around and use that money to spin another TikTok immediately after? View quoted note →
