This has nothing to do with protecting children. It’s about creating the apparatus for control over the internet.”It’s not that the U.S. government wants to protect you from spying and data theft and manipulation. If only.

House Passes Bill That Forces Chinese Parent Company To Sell TikTok

The legislation, which would allow the Beijing-based company roughly five months to sell TikTok, passed with a bipartisan 352 to 65 floor vote, sending the bill to the Senate.

President Joe Biden has signaled he would sign the legislation if it clears the upper chamber. (RELATED: TikTok Bill Clears Committee Hurdle With Unanimous Vote As China Faces App Sale Ultimatum)

TikTok has been critical of the legislation, which it called “an outright ban” in an X statement on March 5. The social media app encouraged its children and teenaged users to call congressional offices and complain about the bill.

Former President Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, appeared to voice opposition to the legislation despite previously attempting to ban the app. Trump’s 2020 ban faced legal challenges, and was eventually repealed by the Biden administration in 2021.

“If you get rid of TikTok, Facebook and Zuckerschmuck will double their business,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “I don’t want Facebook, who cheated in the last Election, doing better. They are a true Enemy of the People!”
