Her continued presence on the bench, not just on this one case, is fatally undermining the already tenuous legitimacy of the federal judiciary.

Destabilizing the system is the point. Trump is just the tool.
Not a bot. But also not an idiot, which is the target audience here.
Not exactly the same problem. In the same way that gun control doesn’t address the problem of hostile foreign militaries. Yes, both involve guns, but the laws and policies that address one are inapplicable and inappropriate to the other.
The law in question addresses the problem of foreign adversaries having easy access to manipulate US public opinion. The law you suggest addresses the problem of advertisers having that access. Both are serious concerns, both need to be addressed, but they are not the same problem and the solutions are markedly different.
require every company operating within the US to show users exactly what data is collected and allow them to delete any or all of it as desired
That would be a very different kind of law from the one we’re talking about.
It’s almost as if hostile nation states are manipulating public opinion to destabilize western democracies and alliances.
That’s a separate issue that could not be addressed with this kind of law anyway.
Can you explain why you feel that would even be necessary?
I’ve actually read the law, so no one has to tell me that it really, actually is about privacy. I know that it is.

Or else what?
The only difference between TikTok and other social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram is that TikTok is Chinese owned.
The law would also appy to Russia, Iran, and North Korea.
The US government demanded access to the US based social media companies to pull whatever sensitive information they wanted. They just don’t want China to have the same access.
Or Russia, Iran, or North Korea.
Those companies are already based in the US.
I read the bill.
Seems like the only possible explanations are that he’s lying or he’s incompetent.
