  • "For the first time in history, Congress has enacted a law that subjects a single, named speech platform to a permanent, nationwide ban and bars every American from participating in a unique online community with more than 1 billion people worldwide."

    I'm shocked I made it to the 3rd Paragraph before I ran into the first set of lies.

    • Is the lie that it's not the first time?

      • Lie 1 - It's not about a "single" platform but any owned and operated by a list of "Adversary" nations.

        Lie 2 - It's not permanent. The ban, such as it, can be lifted and the legislation defines how.

        Lie 3 - It doesn't bar Americans from participating.

        Lie 4 - TikTok is in no way a "Unique Community"

        Some of you may question my assertions but before you do I encourage you to read the legislation that was actually enacted.

        • is this like how Idaho banned transgender athletes in middle schools when they had exactly one transgender girl in middle school sports
