U.S. House panel approves bill giving Biden power to ban TikTok

The U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee voted on Wednesday along party lines to give President Joe Biden the power to ban Chinese-owned TikTok, in what would be the most far-reaching U.S. restriction on any social media app.

It doesn't matter if a person is a Trump fan or not. He said approximately four years ago that tiktok needed to be banned in this country and the world laughed at him.

The US is taking forever to ban Tiktok.

I'll find a link but the gist of it is that any business in communist China must provide the names and other personal information who it does business with to the government. The government in the United States thinks this is detrimental America.

Chinese rule the government can and does whatever it chooses with all businesses in China. If they want all the data from TicTok, the government takes it.
In China YOU MUST PROVE YOUR INNOCENCE. No sanctuary zero dollar bail like New York city. It's a fukin mess.
