I don't like watching sports either unless it's two guys fighting eachother or some other extreme sport

Nothing is going to happen soon.

First of all, the bill hasnt passed yet. It still needs to pass the Senate, and theres no guarantee that will happen.

And even if it does pass the Senate, and doesnt get struck down by the supreme court, its more likely that TikToks parent company will sell it rather than just shrug and accept a ban.

And even if that dont sell and the ban holds VPNs exist.

most people will not use vpns. Many people are like tech illiterate. But it will almost certainly past senate right, and then for sure go to s.c.?

I wouldnt say almost certainly. Actually it sounds pretty unlikely based on what Ive been reading:

The bill faces a difficult road to passage in the Senate, where Senator Chuck Schumer, Democrat of New York and the majority leader, has been noncommittal about bringing it to the floor for a vote and where some lawmakers have vowed to fight it. And even if it passes the Senate and becomes law, it is likely to face legal challenges.

oh, i thought that the senate was even a higher majority that was republican than the house. Maybe i'm remembering wrong. Have seen some schumer interviews not that surprised that he would fight against the ban. He seems a little better than most politicians etc......
