Then why should this bill exist in the first place? Why is Tiktok going to a US company, likely a conservative one, any better than staying where it is now other than jingoism or xenophobia?

I am very critical of Israel in the current Israel/Palestine war but Hamas is a terrorist group. Why would should pro-Hamas vids be allowed? Pro-Palestinian vids showing what the IDF is doing to the Palestinian civilians is fine but vids glorifying Hamas shouldn't be allowed.
It'll be interesting when China,Russia and other adversarial nations pull an uno reverse for this on American owned companies.China basically requires ownership of any company doing business in China.
"Oh you want to sell things here? You have to be divested in all ties to the US."
China basically requires ownership of any company doing business in China.Does China own Tesla?
Does China own Tesla?
Mr. Musk did not want to share ownership of Teslas factory with a Chinese company, as was required at the time. So in 2018 officials revoked the rule for all foreign electric car companies. The change was Teslas second big win.
They don't own the gigafactory in Shanghai, but they do own the land under which it is built.And yet, lo and behold, Tesla's are sold in China.

And yet, lo and behold, Tesla's are sold in China.
Even the plant Tesla is building in Nuevo Len, Mexico, will use Chinese suppliers, several of whom the state governor has said will set up factories nearby.

With both iOS and Android allowing sideloading, I'm not sure how they're expecting to enforce thisWell you see, those VPN bans they wanted to put in place not become a matter of national security.
They formed the firewall a decade ago due to being authoritarian and are the poster child of what not to act like for a free country. Again, do you want more governments to act like China? I certainly don't.You can deal with China in a reciprocal fashion without impacting the rest of the world.
This information warfare rhetoric is hypothetical and is xenophobic fearmongering. There's no evidence it's being used criminally or dangerously. And this can apply to any Chinese business. Do you just want to ban all Chinese businesses? Is that what you mean by saying Chinese people just need to base their businesses in the US? What about refusing Chinese exchange students?
This is how literally every bigot justifies their bigotry. You don't even realize that the people being affected the most aren't the fascists while the CCP themselves likely not getting hurt much by it.Gtfo with that bullshit.
The question I want answered is, who is taking it over in the US? That will ultimately determine my faith in the legislation on this.a right wing piece of shit. guaranteed.

ByteDance have said they won't sell.Oh OK if they aren't selling then it's a net gain for the US.
Before that, Oracle, which is co-founded by a guy who participated in text threads about overthrowing the 2020 election, would be the buyer.
Oracle currently hosts tiktok's data in the US.
