The so-called TikTok ban is a trojan horse.
The President will be given the power to ban WEB SITES, not just Apps.
The person breaking the new law is deemed to be the U.S. (or offshore) INTERNET HOSTING SERVICE or App Store, not the “foreign adversary.”t.co/iKtAQFGeQH pic.twitter.com/P26hEbzQrf

The so-called TikTok ban is nothing but a trojan horse, granting the President unchecked power to ban websites, not just apps. By targeting internet hosting services and app stores, this law recklessly expands government overreach, shifting the blame onto U.S. or offshore entities instead of addressing alleged foreign adversaries directly. This isn’t merely about TikTok; it’s a blatant move toward censorship and government control, further eroding digital freedom and individual rights.
If you think this isn’t a Trojan horse, designed solely for TikTok and foreign-adversary social media companies, then contemplate why someone found it necessary to secure a very specific exclusion for their internet-based business written into the bill. This raises serious concerns about the true intentions behind this legislation, hinting at a selective and potentially manipulative use of governmental powers.
This law is not just about TikTok, it is about censorship and government control!
If it were just about TikTok, it would only cite “foreign control” as the issue, but it does not. t.co/3hpePCE1nS
