I hope this passes. China does use Tik Tok as a weapon. There is a reason the algos for users in China are different than for U. S. users. I think Tik Tok is one reason the youth are so messed up. (Note that I said ONE reason, NOT the reason or the like.)

At the same time, I'm nervous that someone will sneak some anti-free speech stuff into the bill.

Bytedance is basically a CCP cutout. TikTok is the world’s most successful spyware. Compare what our teens are pushed by the algorithms versus what Chinese teens see. In China, the feed is about kids doing well in classes, science contests, and wholesome material. American teens are fed a steady diet of detrimental content.
