[Graybeard]

US Senate declines to fast-track TikTok bill

A bill that would force the sale of TikTok from its Chinese owners or see it banned in the United States will move cautiously in the US Senate, key lawmakers said, after it sailed through the House.

Looks like this bill will be tied-up in the US senate and may not be voted on this year ...

Can I ask a stupid question?

What is Google and Meta doing with the Chinese data they're scraping from their platforms?

which would undermine the free speech and association rights of millions of people. This bill must be stopped.``<<<

We have so many bills that fall under that category now!

ban tiktok now, its rotting ppls brains

Don't they all? But people have the right to decide if that's what they want to do with their brains.

17 is at scale?

That's nothing, the government delivers mis-mal and fake news all the time.

You know, my whole life, I've never had one iota of interest in politics. Trump changed that, couldn't believe what I was seeing and hearing. Then we got (and continue to get) our own turn. I still have trouble believing things have gone so wildly off-balance.

I'm Canadian, too. I know the government banned TT on government phones but it is banned nationally?

Sorry, I don't use it, so I'm uninformed about that.

TikTok is not banned nationally in Canada but TikTok Shop isn't available. I have no idea why TT would make TikTok Shop available in the USA but not Canada.

I've read case studies of dropshipping businesses successfully working with influencers and paying them through a commission via TikTok Shop.

@OscarMike , does TikTok Shop work better than other platforms in your opinion?

I'm totally ignorant about TikTok.
