Always using our own laws and fears to promote their agenda:rolleyes: Personally, it's garbage and I don't use it. Of the videos I've seen, too many idiots have too much negative influence on a lot of people who choose to be followers.


A spokesman for TikTok denounced the bill, saying it "would trample the free speech rights of 170 million Americans, devastate seven million businesses, and shutter a platform that contributes $24bn (£19.4bn) to the US economy annually".
