Except we don't have that power. Not unless there's a national security threat. And they might make our children more woke isn't a national security threat.
American individuals and this company have a first amendment right. Furthermore this isn't a ban on all foreign owned companies. This is a ban on companies with ownership that have nebulous ties to certain countries. A list we can add to at any time. That is capricious and open to being abused. It's also unconstitutional under the no Bills of Attainder rule.
Except we do have that power. There's reasonable national security risk, and your lack of understanding of the dynamics involved doesn't make them nebulous to others.
In any case, if you don't like it, vote with your life choices. If it's not that important, well.. ..it's not that important.
You know nobody has yet to actually say what the risk is. Just that China is evil and therefore a risk. There's some overblown stuff about them pushing cancel culture but that's not a national security risk.
If it's not nebulous then tell me, how are they getting our nuclear codes with a social media app they don't directly control?
And again. No. We have rights in the US. Unless you guys go giving them away because you're afraid you might see a Chinese video.
