TikTok is rotten. The algorithm is owned by the Communist party in China that is actively trying to brainwash our children. It either needs to be owned by a Western business or be banned. There should be no middle ground.

This isn’t about dance videos-it’s about data warfare. When an app can harvest user data, shape narratives, and influence opinion, it becomes a national security risk, not just social media. Eyes wide open. #NationalSecurity #Chinatech #DataPrivacy #TikTok

@AlexBarnicoat_ People were so fucking short sighted when they pushed for the tiktok ban, which ultimately nestled it into the hands of Ellison. The target has always been, and continues to be, free speech. https://t.co/WQjCiavHl8
