It's obvious that Jaamal Bowman and those standing beside him have been bought the slimy communist Chinese government, which has been hiding under the cover of TikTok to spy on Americans and to undermine the strength of the American society. Part of China's nefarious agenda for America is to create deep division among Americans. So far, it looks like China is succeeding in its mission insert a wedge between the US government and the American people.
TikTok is TOXIC. Period! Only idiots would be using TikTok!
They're acting like the banning of tiktok is a threat or a huge deal lmao. Honestly wish it'd get banned in my country too. It's clear its making these people so glued to it they can't imagine a life without tiktok. Pathetic
But but My likes ! I need it to survive to breath to know I'm alive ! Lol
F**k tik tok…….this is sad when we have a Congressman advocating for communism
lol. Please, PLEASE ban tiktok.
I'd rather the US government have to go through CCP to access my data so my data can be protected from abuse.
ban that crap
the tiktok insurrection
CCP owned tik tok is preying on the innocent and collecting personal information of Americans. Jamal is in on this obviously
People once again People love TikTOK !
BTW does TiktoK have access to your wifi network??????😁
Ane he only got $150000 from TikToks parent company. He sells out cheaply. I wish parents were more vigilant with what their children use.
I support the ban because it's evil. It influence people to do bad things and I 100% support the ban
If you’re on the “Keep TikTok” side you’re already broken. And a groomer.
Ban Tiktok? Why don’t these stupid law makers ban the guns first. Idiots
It's very confusing that the President and other lawmakers can all agree about a CEO and tik- tok but can't agree about a guy who caused the attack on the US Capitol! you much be kidding 😂
Tik tok become zombie to people. usa also have became zombie who control by China agent. India also knew about this and India ban Chinese app first time. After two years the country came to know. us uk ban tik tok
Jai hind ⛳⛳⛳
Tick tock is pure crap. I tried it out and kept it for a couple of days. Anyway, it is a tool of the CCP to spy and provide misinformation. Needs to go. Can not allow it during war. This is why they are trying to split it up. Honestly, I’d rather see it gone just to watch the sheep complain and melt down.
These lawmakers protesting the ban of tik tok ARE the Chinese paid spys…PERIOD!!!
I don't use tiktok
Just want to know
Is there any strict age restriction in tiktok?
So his argument is basically, everyone else is doing it. 😆
Social media as a whole is indeed problematic but no other platform is as big of a threat in severity, uniqueness, or scope as TikTok is.
The government is just trying to control us that’s what this is all about
Bowman is a putz. He is in tictoc's back pocket. IRS, you may want to audit this dude.
OMG, don't people even know that Tik tok is a totally Communist company and don't tell me you guys don't know that China monitors/tracks even their OWN people in every possible way.
TikTok users should organize on the platform to keep it from being banned. It is great app and many are making a living on it.
Ban "Satan the Devil's" App 😈
BAN IT
They better start finding some real jobs lol
Shut TikTok down!
When China invades. Pleaaaase send these mfs to the frontlines
TikTok ruined modernity ban this genocide app now!
Social media is just keeping the future youth dumb. I’m serious. Get prepared for all our jobs to go to China and India. They are serious about studies. It’s just a matter of time; every American who allows their kids to be raised by social media; will be on welfare forever!
I support banning Tic Toc…. Very bad for the Republican people…. If it remains legal, let the Dems & Libs use it because they are irrelevant anyway.
These “lawmakers” are all on the CCP payroll and are refuting these hearings because they have no ability to think for themselves.
Western social media is banned in China and even VPNs are now virtually inaccessible. They want to control their youth and ours.
These brainless people supporting a CCP owned app and the very same CCP that released Covid to the world. No hope for these fools.
Drops mic.
Now bad times are coming that China has to depend on tiktok to spy us🤣🤣. China can access your private data through Facebook and Twitter Instagram 😂😂😂
I hope they ban that shi so these kids can go back to school. One of the dumbest generation alive. they have no life outside of social media
Where did new york find this overweight fool Jamaal
Banned social media in general TikTok is crack people are addicted to it to the point it's sickening plus it making people stupid and evil posting random people's dirt secrets etc Ban it Now
After listening to the TikTok CEO defend TikTok, I'm not reassured, so I closed my TikTok account, and uninstalled the app….. I really liked TikTok, but not anymore, no after listening to the TikTok CEO…..
Ban it.. blacks always starting drama. MSNBC you are going down. Desantis and Haley 2024
Ban all social media
Ban facebook too
Bowman is the biggest Racist.
He should be ashamed.
These creators can find other platforms, one that is not owned and controlled by the CCP
Hey children yes you can just move to another platform you moved there and you can move to another platform just because 99% of your business comes from a place that wants to murder us doesn't mean you get to keep doing what you're doing I'm sorry that you're too stupid to understand why we want to ban the platform okay our job is to keep you safe so we really don't care what you have to say you're too stupid to even know what it is that you're being used for.
Not sorry AT ALL
Oh yeah they did work alright they showed our lawmakers that they are completely and totally bought and paid for by the CCP they literally made the case for why there should be a ban.
Derrpp derrrrrrrp.
Wesofakingwetoddid
Duuuhhhhhhderrrp derrrrppp
Lol
the app was spyware to begin with. BAN IT!
This is hysterical. What does an app use by user post security threat. I am sure me using Youtube is a security to my life also right now lol.
