![]() ![]() From The Wall Street Journal, "TikTok Crackdown Shifts Into Overdrive, With Sale or Shutdown on Table": Legislation that would ban TikTok in the U.S. or force its sale is hurtling toward a vote in the House following months of behind-the-scenes efforts on Capitol Hill. The new push caught the service off-guard, ratcheting up interest from possible buyers and raising the possibility that one of the most popular apps in the country could soon be shut down.This is an insanely authoritarian attack on free speech and the "free market" and it's being done explicitly to advance the interests of Israel, not America, the WSJ reports: [Rep. Mike Gallagher's (R-WI)] efforts [to ban TikTok] appeared to stall in 2023, but were revived in part by the fallout from the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on Israel, according to people close to TikTok and people close to lawmakers. TikTok's users quickly inundated the platform with videos about the attack and Israel's war on Gaza. Some lawmakers said TikTok appeared to favor pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel content, and renewed calls to ban the app in the U.S.There you have it, straight from the horse's mouth. Israel demands all criticism of their genocide campaign in Gaza be censored worldwide and then South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem signs a bill aimed at outlawing criticism of Jews and Israel and the US government moves to ban TikTok in one of the most authoritarian anti-First Amendment measures ever taken without a care in the world for the consequences or the Bill of Rights. Two and a half centuries of free speech needs to come to an end because "God's chosen people" cannot be criticized. ![]() Is anyone other than Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) going to stand up to this insanity?
