Why should they? Nobody else is hiding it.

It’s political genius. How many millions of Americans are going to see that? Politically apathetic Americans who will credit Trump…

There’s a geyser because of the underground heat.

A forced sale below market value is absolutely punishment. And being banned is 100% punitive.

Nothing boring about a fire that’s been burning for at least 62 years, possibly 86, and has caused the permanent evacuation of two towns.

No. It literally says TikTok in the text of the bill. It also has a super broad description of other covered companies. But then also bans TikTok by name. The law is Public Law 118-50. The stuff in Congress is not the end of a bill. It has to go through reconciliation, where it can change, and then it goes to the desk of the president.

Foreign adversary controlled application.—The term “foreign adversary controlled application” means a website, desktop application, mobile application, or augmented or immersive technology application that is operated, directly or indirectly (including through a parent company, subsidiary, or affiliate), by—

(A) any of—

(i) ByteDance, Ltd.;

(ii) TikTok; …

If you care to find it in the statutes at large or USC then have at it. But this is what Biden signed.

Ever seen what happens when a coal mine catches fire? Link

I guess we should just go back to water mills right?

Eh, I would class that under sickness.

I didn’t say Immortal. Death by violence is certainly possible.

Then they should be fired. The Constitution, in plain English, bans the practice of naming a person or group in a law specifically to punish them. That’s the domain of courts. These judges are either illiterate or corrupt.

There’s a history of the US putting people in prison too. It’s still unconstitutional for Congress to pass a law requiring someone to go to prison just because the law they passed named them.

They absolutely made data collection part of their opinion.

Nothing. The arguments were public. They obliterated the first amendment rights of 170 million Americans because the government said National Security. If the government can use magic words to make your rights disappear, then you don’t have those rights.

It’s not even a running consistent with their own dogma. They’ve gone completely rogue.

Then they should ban that, not pass an extremely broad law as I detail in another comment.

The thing people aren’t getting about this law is it’s extremely broad, with no due process. The definition they use for organizations that are subject to this law could literally include the New York Times. And designating an organization as controlled by a foreign adversary is a declaration by the Secretary of Commerce.

There’s no court, no hearing, no public notice, no juries, and only one judge (the secretary).

The point of taking down TikTok is twofold. One, they have a Boogeyman they can use to push it through. Two, if they can shut down an app with 170 million users then they can shut down anyone. That’s half the country that uses TikTok. If they can do that without protests then they can shut down anyone.

Nah, midnight orders are a thing. But the event isn’t on the 20th, it’s on the 19th. The administration could absolutely shut it down.

A. Counter-Intelligence is when you are countering intelligence gathering activities.

B. Nobody has released any evidence that TikTok is an intelligence gathering tool.

C. This law is unconstitutional by the plain text of the Constitution. SCOTUS has truly gone over the edge.

Healing of all kinds. Ageing, sickness, and wounds.

Oh gosh, I thought you meant .world World News for a minute there. Yeah the problem is .ml, they’re tankies.
