The Tik Tok Bill: Implications and what happens next

article image placeholderHouse passes bill that could lead to a TikTok ban; fight shifts to the Senate
And how younger users would react to this, because they are the majority of the 180,000,000 Americans, or 170,000,000 Americans that actually use TikTok. Now, not to get ahead of ourselves, but even if this passes the Senate, and Joe Biden has already said that he would sign it into law, it will face significant hurdles in court. TikTok will be sure by dance, the company will be sure to file lawsuits in federal court systems based on First Amendment practices

You won't believe who is on the same side of this vote https://s.swell.life/SU6uom58IecGfWd

I mean, I know China's not the best country, and they're trying to do things to America, but essentially, people were saying before with TikTok that China was using it to spy on America. And with TikTok, people tell all their business, like, all their business, you know, where they live, you know, what's inside their house, based on people dancing in the background. You can see everything that they own. People tell their whole life stories on TikTok

Homo sanity here from the Homo sanity show. Thank you for the clarity on this swell cast. You just hear a ban and you think it's going down. That's what I thought. Till I heard this swell cast, I didn't know that it was just them wanting them to separate from a certain parent company. And, yeah, how would they be able to really enforce that? Very interesting questions. Thank you for this cast

Hello. I don't use TikTok, but I find this Bahan troubling because my older brother, he was on TikTok and when I first saw haha, he showed me videos of him quoting and acting out scenes for his movies and it brought a lot of joy and had to see he be his band happened. And there's actually some benefit of using TikTok

What really is the loss if it goes?

So I just commented on ladies post about the TikTok ban, and one thing I'll say that I didn't bring up there that I'm really concerned with when it comes to this is the nature of how we perceive these apps in our daily lives, meaning how warranted are they in our daily lives. What is it about these that we need? Because when we talk about these things are really informing us and they're really keeping us up to date with everything
