[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of you are advocating for government control of content online a la China.

Do you hear yourselves? You are pro government censorship. You are asking for a big brother, big government.

If you don’t want your kids on Tiktok, you can forbid them from using it and lock down their phones. You could talk to them about why you don’t want them on it. [/quote]

I'm in favor of ACTING against a hostile power and not waiting until we regret it.

Fentanyl is the number one killer of 18-45 year olds. Guess who supplies the chemicals? CN. Guess who produces it? MX.

Stop waiting and wanting for disasters.[/quote]

It's not only the kids.  It is adults and people who promote their businesses on Tik Tok as well. 
It is time to shut down this app.  
Here is Marco Rubio's response to some questions asked of him during an interview:

[quote]Lydia: Of course for lawmakers to pass something that’s not popular — especially with young voters – would be a tough call.

Sen Rubio: “Millions of Americans depend on it for their business.” The number of people making that argument is going to grow in the future. The problem is, you’re basically arguing you’ve turned over your livelihood to a foreign power – the Chinese government. People could argue for the same reasons not to interfere in Taiwan or the South China Sea.

We’re living in an incredible historic moment. We need to be willing to be judged. If we get this wrong, we’ll be condemned. We are in an era of conflict – geopolitical and diplomatic conflict. No conflict comes without a price.

We were worried about Russian ads on Facebook, but China has been running ads on TikTok during our elections.

Lydia: China already has a lot of our data. Can we do anything to mitigate that?

Sen. Rubio: Engineers in China have a digital dossier on Indian users even after India banned it. The amount of data that resides  in the hands of China is enormous. Ultimately China could use this commercial advantage to put American companies out of business. I can prove to you what they’re capable of doing now – spying on journalists. The only thing missing to bombard people with more propaganda on TikTok is the Chinese government requesting they do it.[/quote]
