    Yeah, I’m at a loss as to how people are buying this. They’re being asked to support this bill on less than zero evidence, just reporters breathlessly repeating hypothetical stuff. It’s just so obviously a called hit by our political donor class.

        Yeah that was crazy. They asked people to lobby for them, as other companies have done, and suddenly they’re brainwashing our youth. Every time this comes up I feel like I’m taking crazy pills just from the sheer pressure of people saying TikTok is malware/spyware/directly controlled; but the evidence they point to is always weak at best. It’s like they think TikTok is the Chinese version of the black helicopter secret organization.
