It's even more diabolical. If an owner is anyone who is "controlled" by a foreign power. So Truth Social could conceivably be banned because they keep saying Trump is controlled by Russia. It isn't about TikTok being controlled by the Deep State. It is ultimately about the ability to close down any app deemed a "security threat," which is a broad term.
In the year 2000, I subscribed to U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT because the election was so interesting. Since non-propaganda is nearly impossible to find and we are on the tipping point of living in caves again, I just subscribed to the WASHINGTON EXAMINER. Between that and the CLAREMONT REVIEW OF BOOKS, I believe it is possible to keep up with current events without getting too agitated.
Pretty sure the NYT and WSJ are already foreign assets, along with most of the rest of current MSM publications. But giving more power to the pedo and co. is still a very very bad idea.

I'll Tik that free speech box right along with you.
I fear a government that has the power to force publications to be sold out from under their legal owners.
That said, if it happens I hope the Rumble consortium buys it. Rumble is strong for free speech.
Hey Bill you've known me for ???? I love America more than anyone can possibly understand. I love freedom and democracy but I am not an American.
America has the greatest propaganda machine the world has ever known.
You know the ads are way more important than the shows.
You understand what is going on.
Why is America so afraid of the truth? Who has time for Tik Tok?
Tik Tok is not a political site it discourages intellectual pursuit and philosophical inquiry.
THIS BILL IS ABOUT THE POWER OF PURSUASION.
It violates the establishment clause not the first amendment.

Gunpowder is another option.
In hospital with COVID and flu and pneumonia. Oh, my.
OK.
I mean Twitter is now owned by the first African-American so does that mean that Jill could get him to divest?

Thank you Bill
I can no longer attend to your business.
