I could be wrong, but I believe they TikTok ban stuff was in motion before Oct. 7 (assuming that's what you're referring to). Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
It was proposed and fizzled back under Trump 45, but the broad bipartisan effort that wasn't a few weirdos preening as China hawks was alllllll because they were mad the kids weren't happy about the genocide, which clearly must be communist propaganda, not, you know, morals. Mitt Romney literally admitted it.
Sorry man, I'm not going to suddenly start giving a shit about what Mitt Romney says, just because it seems to align with my already held beliefs.
If you buy this Tik Tok thing as anything other than an assault on free speech, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
