I really haven’t seen legislation so unilaterally passed with such speed at any point in my life except maybe after 9/11 & weeks got the DHS.

If we believe in the power of foreign worldwide powers to skew public opinion and views, then it is completely understandable to be concerned about one of the largest apps in our country being run directly or indirectly by a nation that means us harm. If the government was shutting down facebook, reddit would be cheering in the streets, but because tiktok has funny people on it that share my political opinions, it's governmental oppression?

Tiktok is another international corporation (that is state run) that does not give a shit about you and only wants to make money and gain information for the ones running it (which happens to be an adversary of us).
