The House’s Bipartisan Ban on TikTok is WAY Worse Than You Think—And Politicians Are LYING About It
Channel: The Humanist Report
Date: 2024-03-13

The House of Representatives just overwhelmingly passed a bill that would effectively ban TikTok and give the president the power to potentially ban even more social media websites. It’s unclear if it has enough votes to pass in the Senate, but President Joe Biden has stated his intent to sign it into law if it makes it to his desk. We’ll talk about this unconstitutional attack on the First Amendment, the gaslighting about it from politicians, and the dangerous implications of this draconian crackdown on speech in this video.
