In DC, perhaps we need to introduce RTFB: read the frigging bill.
Does the TikTok bill, which passed the House on a 352-65 vote, ban TikTok? No. Can it be used to target Elon Musk and X/Twitter? No. To answer these and other questions, let's read the frigging bill.
First, if you've described this bill as a TikTok ban, then you've clearly not read the bill.
It forces a sale of TikTok so that the Chinese Communist Party can no longer control it; a ban only occurs if TikTok is not divested away from the CCP. Nonetheless, reading a bill is harder than reading a manual-though it's a teachable skill.
The TikTok bill cannot be used to target Rumble, which is a Canadian company.
Could the TikTok bill be used to target Elon Musk and Twitter? If you don't know how to read a bill, there are many specious arguments that could trick you into thinking that the answer is yes.
If you know how to read a bill the answer is a clear no.
