US in saddle for another attack on TikTok: China Daily editorial

China Daily  

To its millions of users in the country, TikTok, the second most popular social media platform in the United States, is a beloved tool of fun, fortune or free speech. So after various unsuccessful attempts to restrain TikTok over the past few years, a bipartisan group of US lawmakers has introduced the "Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act". "This legislation will trample the First Amendment rights of 170 million Americans and deprive 5 million small businesses of a platform they rely on to grow and create jobs," a TikTok spokesperson said. According to US constitutional law, Congress cannot simply ban TikTok or any social media platform unless it can prove it poses clear and present dangers that can't be addressed by any other means. Dozens of social media stars — many of whom are active on TikTok — were invited to the White House last Thursday night, when Biden delivered his State of the Union address.
