      The government does control TikTok lol. CIA and NATO psyop and intelligence officers are executives, and all the servers are stored in the US and co-managed by American companies .

      Either no one briefed the politicians on this and they’re about to set up a banning precedence that could ruin intelligence ops in many countries, or it’s just jingoism and nothing will actually happen to it.

      It’s mostly free speech, small government Republicans?

      No, democrats are very proud and want everyone to know that it’s a bipartisan bill
