The House on Saturday passed a $95 billion aid package that includes two long-awaited bills with $60.8 billion of Ukraine aid and $26 billion in aid to Israel.
The Ukraine bill, which passed with 311 votes in favor, 112 votes against, and one present, will now head to the Senate alongside the Israel aid bill and two others — one with aid for Taiwan and another that forces Tiktok’s parent company to sell it.
Capitalists never play fair, lol.
Can’t wait to see some stupid western company take the place of tiktok then all the retards complaining about tiktok suddenly shutting up.
They don’t realize there’s a trade war going on and they’re just useful idiots in it.
There are several right-wing groups eager to buy it, which is 100% why they’re going after it.
Reddit, Twitter, TikTok, and Facebook. They’re going to control all of it soon.
Din they’ll be requiring expensive identity verification for online accounts to make the fediverse financially unsustainable.
Nah. I don’t think Bytedance sells. The big enchilada is the source code and that’s not getting sold because there’s 6 Billion more people they can get on the app.

They meant the argument you were responding to, the obvious strawman, and not what you said.
That’s not true at all. China has state owned businesses and private owned businesses. You think the Boeing and Microsoft locations in China are owned by the CCP?
If you’re being pedantic, you’re right, but Chinese companies are still Chinese state-owned-- which Tiktok is.
that is bs with regard to the facts.
Cry about it. I can taste your tears from here.
So you acknowledge that you’re disregarding facts and you’re telling them to cry about it?
No. There’s privately owned industry in China.
Of course you’d lie.
It will never cease to amaze me that people can have the full power of the Internet at their fingertips and have the wherewithal to not look something up before saying something stupid.
Free market for me but not for thee.
Yes, there is a trade war.
Don’t be naive about NSA and US propaganda/surveillance.
