Congress Finally Passes Tik Tok Ban, 28 Months After Trump's Original Ban Which Biden Cancelled

[Jim H - VA USA]

Found it comical today that the Biden admin is restricting travelers from China due to covid concerns. Didn't they give the Trump admin a ration of shit, calling them racist, for announcing the exact same policies in 2020? Fucking blatant hypocrisy.

They will require all travelers to get a COVID test.

Anyone, even if fully-vaccinated and boosted.

That tells you something.... Official policy is vaccine does not matter at all. But official policy is to mandate it to federal workers.

US to impose new restrictions on travelers from China amid COVID outbreaks

The Biden administration is planning new coronavirus precautions on travelers arriving from China due to a surge in COVID-19 cases and concerns about the lack of transparent reporting data from the…

1) On August 6th, 2020, Trump banned Tik Tok from ALL US devices, if ByteDance did not fully divest from China within 45 days, here:

Executive Order on Addressing the Threat Posed by TikTok – The White House

This Executive Order got tied up in the courts (there are some strong 1st Amendment v. National Security issues).

2) Biden cancelled Trump's order on June 9th, 2021 here:

Executive Order on Protecting Americans’ Sensitive Data from Foreign Adversaries | The White House

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), and section 301 of title 3, United...

He replaced Trump's order with a freaking study. Biden's order undoubtedly resulted in countless actual spying incidents on Americans... Biden did China another huge favor. Example here....

Lawmakers Express Outrage That TikTok Spied On Journalists

The admissions from TikTok and ByteDance, confirming previous Forbes reporting, come amid a groundswell of legislative alarm about the app.

3) Now, our nation's lawmakers have finally realized what Trump saw well over two years ago, and they have passed in both the House and Senate, bills which ban Tik Tok from only government devices...

TikTok banned on government devices under spending bill passed by Congress

Congress passed a large spending package that includes a bill banning TikTok from being used on government devices and new filing fees for mergers.

Took them over two years to address the threat Trump saw and took action on 28 months ago. Meanwhile, Tik Tok grew into the most popular website of all time, more popular than google.

What do you think about that?

Trump took action????? No he didn't. Signing a meaningless Executive Order that won't hold up in court isn't "doing something". It's pretending to do something.

You clowns are really quick to give Trump credit for things he never did, all while denying credit to Democrats for doing anything.

no answer?

So what did Biden do?

He cancelled the non-existent and useless order (quashing the court cases) and then instituted a ban that affected all FEDERAL phones...which CAN stand up in court.

That's called competence

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

Biden and the crooked MSM that defend everything he does are all idiots. Time continues to prove exactly how right Trump was about almost everything.

Yep...just like when Trump brought down the price of insulin and biden shit canned the plan only to come up with his own plan so he could take credit.

Trump's "plan" didn't work.

Biden's did.

Are all canadians as stupid as you are?
Trump tried to end Tik Tok and the leftist stopped it.
God you're one stupid bitch.

Do you use insulin?
Obviously not because Trump did bring down the cost and I'm living proof.

 

[Jim H - VA USA]

This is how it should be done. I've repeatedly condemned lazy presidents passing lazy EO's as opposed to getting things through Congress with actual laws that simply can't be dismissed by the next president.

It's a bit late.

Biden did squat. The only thing he did was cancel Trump's order and announce a study, which is actually counter-productive and the same thing China was advocating for.

Apparently congress knows better...

Trump didn't try and end Tik Tok. He couldn't do that even if had wanted to.

Great. Give Congress credit. I don't care other than to note, this is how things should be done.

If journalists have Tik Tok on their phones, or government workers... then they're idiots.
I was hoping the ban would take place because if humans get so into Tik Tok, they're basically zombie dead people.

Trump didn't try and end Tik Tok. He couldn't do that even if had wanted to.

And biden can?
God you're a fucken moron.

You are so full of shit. Trump's EO never went into effect. Biden FROZE it for 60 days and then ACTUALLY instituted it.

You ought to be thanking Biden you dope

Who said he could? I have no idea what you are even arguing.

TikTok is a spy

Trump as usual was correct about the evils of Tik Tok. Of course this only bans it from government devices. The CCP is still free to collect all users data and push whatever damaging content their "algorithms" decide to send to our kids.

TicTok also controls your microphone and camera. It records everything, even when the app is closed.

 

[Indeependent]

Bu only one banned tik tok and passed infrastructure

I was wondering why infrastructure upgrades were occurring under Trump.

Every App does that.
YouTube has a plethora of videos about that.
