>The law specifies that no penalties apply to users of TikTok. But app store operators and TikTok itself could face fines of $10,000 per violation per day, with an individual violation defined as “each time that a user accesses TikTok, is offered the ability to access TikTok, or is offered the ability to download TikTok.”
No. Although I'm a Texan, it'll probably happen anyway if it hasn't already and my vote doesn't matter. I don't want the government deciding what software I'm allowed to use and what forms of speech and entertainment I'm allowed to expose myself to.
And I notice none of these conservatives are talking about banning Twitter anymore - which is far more psychologically manipulative than TikTok - now that one of their own has taken it over to push as much right-wing propaganda on it as possible, just to hassle the "woke hivemind."
I'm fine with app stores making the decision on their own but I prefer to not throw the entire framework of free speech out the window just because stoking fear of the "red menace" still works in the US.
Sounds like a money-printing machine.
