Interesting to note here: getting preteens to confusedly call Congress with threats of self harm and questions like “what is Congress” with a push notification is not the best plan

    Disagree. It is the governments job to protect themselves and their citizens. The problem is the government only wants that responsibility when it suits them. When Google is collecting your data it’s fine. When Facebook is collecting your data and leaking it, and poisoning you with unsolicited propaganda, that’s fine. But when tik tok does it it’s not fine because tik tok is controlled by the CCP and they’re a foreign power who are trying to sabotage the US. This bill is a BS money grab being pushed by politicians who’s pockets are being lined by big American Tech companies. It has nothing to do with consumer protection because if it did, Facebook and Google and Twitter and Amazon would all be in the same boat.
