Yesterday:

Congressman Mark Alford
[November 25, 2023]
TikTok is nothing more than a CCP spy tool. America must ban this platform immediately.
[….]

As always, there is much hilarity in some of the responses:

The Biden comparisons and claims are ridiculous. You’ll try anything to place blame on the other party.
That said, it’s funny how in one breath you want to deregulate and get the government out of our personal lives, but you’re ready to ban TikTok. with no real evidence behind your claims.
While you weren’t in office at the time, I recall how you were silent about the Russian misinformation campaign during the 2016 election.

But you ignore the GOP-led Senate report that states there was interference.
And if banning anything is anti-American, then you must oppose banning TikTok. You must also oppose denying a woman’s right to control her own body.
But let’s stick to Mark’s dog whistle to try to place blamer where it doesn’t belong.

Fox News did to our parents what our parents were afraid video games, and now TikToc, would do to us.

Tik Tok, AM radio, and China’s religion. The biggest concerns our country faces.

Overcooked vegetables, too.

TV again

Hard to square that with freedom of speech, even if the CCP exploits the platform. In the grand order of challenges facing our country, banning tik-tok is akin to pole-vaulting over fly turds.
