The #TikTokBan is about to go into effect with broad bipartisan support. Once again, Americans have sold their liberties for the illusion of security. The government has no place telling you what kind of speech you can read or watch and where you can read or watch it. Sad day for America and free speech globally. I don't use TikTok, I think it's garbage, but I support your right to use it or any other app you choose. There is nothing more innately human than the desire to express yourself and connect with others. The TikTok ban is an attack on this right under the guise of "foreign influence", the exact same guise used by despots globally to ban media that is critical of them.

We aren't fighting China by banning TikTok, we're becoming China.
