Which forces Tiktok to sell or be banned, correct? The issue I see is: why not just create regulation for the root problems instead of just focusing on that app? The only reason I can see, is that their priorities do not lay with protecting people, but forcing a foreign business to sell it's IP to strictly American companies. Wether that decision has to do with the intentional or unintentional promotion of the US's direct involvement in the genocide in Gaza or just Big social media companies lobbying for the removal of a competitor, we can only speculate. Both sides are doing their best to push this bill, when have the (R)s collectively banded together to create positive change? The point being, reading the bill is cool and all, but you do have to ask, "Why target a specific company instead of the alleged problems of foreign adversaries getting their hands on our data?" If we had hard data collection and selling regulations, it would not only allow them to ban predatory apps (foreign or domestic) but also ensure sensitive data cannot even reach our enemy's hands.

What are your sources saying the reasoning for the bill is?

So they are going to put in place some hard data collection and selling regulation, right? Right?

True, but from what I've been seeing about the currently approaching climate crisis, we need to do everything that we can to stop or at least slow it to find more solutions.

And the private equities that own hospitals will purchase this anyway.

Thank goodness our government is streamlining priorities and working together to solve them. I am sure they will address this right after they deal with the US's no1 problem... Tiktok?

I can't wait for people to start inserting disruptive code using white colored text in their resumes.
