US can’t ban TikTok for security reasons while ignoring Temu, other apps, TikTok argues
  • ByteDance employees chose to work for a Chinese PsyOp parent company who refuses to sell ByteDance. If anything, those employees are suffering because the CCP were given too many rights and protections for owning a business in the USA.

  • It would be akin to passing a law that states Finite Banjo's friend Jose must no longer act as a proxy between Finite Banjo and Jose's friend Juan, as Finite Banjo is not constitutionally protected but Jose is, or Jose must cut all contact with Juan because Finite Banjo is harming Juan.

    The fact that you think you can remove all context in an attempt to win an argument is just evidence of your inability to comprehend complexity.

  • #3. Number 3. The third part. THREE. Learn to read. All three are required conditions.

  • A US Citizen might be protected by Article 1 Section 9, but courts have adopted a three-part test to determine if a law functions as a bill of attainder:

    1. The law inflicts punishment.
    2. The law targets specific named or identifiable individuals or groups.
    3. Those individuals or groups would otherwise have judicial protections.

    And unfortunately for the CCP they fail #3 unless the Chinese owners divest and all Chinese centralization for the company gets shut down.

    Also, the tiktok ban was passed alongside a bill outlawing sale of data to China, Iran, Russia, etc. So if FB is still selling to China it is also illegal.
