> The actual senators that created the ban

I worked on some language in the bill for my Senator. The unifying concern—and my and their concern—was China.

I know when you have a pet war you tend to see everything through its lens, but most Americans—including electeds—couldn’t care less about what’s going on in Gaza or Ukraine.

They’re talking about the algorithm that’s used outside of China being banned in China, not TikTok being banned in the US.

> Israel is why we can’t have nice things in America.

I wouldn't say TikTok is a "nice thing" ..

This is a conspiracy theory. The banning of TikTok was discussed prior to the Hamas Israel war.
