The House on Wednesday passed a bill with broad bipartisan support that would force TikTok’s Chinese owner to either sell the hugely popular video app or be banned in the United States.

Republican leaders fast-tracked the bill through the House with limited debate, and it passed on a lopsided vote of 352-65, reflecting widespread backing for legislation that would take direct aim at China in an election year.

    in the meantime STOP USING these companies products.

    Can you share this list? I didn’t know we had a definitive answer on everything to avoid that the united states government is using to spy on its citizens. Not sure how I missed that, its kinda big news that we got something that definitive.

          I was referring to the social media platforms like Meta and TikTok. But you know this, you just want to be an asshat.

          So you don’t agree with me? You think making sarcastic comments is the path forward? You seriously take time out of your day to start shit with a stranger on the internet who simply suggests we have the ability to try to change things for the better in this country?

          Well I don’t have the time. Take care buddy.

            You’re an angry little thing, you know that? I was discussing how the US government is spying on us at all times and you came along and said ‘just stop using the things they spy on you with.’ How was I supposed to know you didn’t actually mean all spying? Just the tiny fraction of spying that is done through facebook?

            Why are you so angry and defensive?

                You simply don’t like when people question what you have to say, huh? Thats why you have been so angry and insulting?

                  It’s fine if you don’t like my tone. I don’t have any issue with that.

                  What I have a problem with is someone being an ass then playing the innocent game like you have.

                  Are you going to keep deflecting the conversation and asking me about my feelings or add to the actual discussion?

            Responding to the edit you made after I replied. I asked you for further information on how to do this and its lead to quite a bit of anger and hostility from you dude. I haven’t insulted you. I have shown no anger. But you say I’m the one starting shit?
