TIKED OFF ABOUT TIKTOK

TIKED OFF ABOUT TIKTOK

By: Derek Varsalona

Congress is trying to ban TikTok.  Americans, at least the younger generation are ticked off about the situation.  I could see that we could have a mental health crisis in the younger generation that is worse than the coronavirus isolation and pandemic.  Canceling TikTok goes against the First Amendment rights of billions of users.  It is the way that people express themselves in at time a non-civilized manner with some being more civil.

I am against the banning of Tiktok.  I use it for my political analysis on a daily basis.  This is a way that people express themselves on a variety of subject matter and showcase their talents.  

The reason why the government is banning TikTok is that the Chinese are spying on us.  But guess what the American government also spies on Americans through the legal channels of the Patriot Act or did so when it was around.  I highly doubt disbanding laws is going to stop the government from spying on people.  

TikTok helps me get my message of political views across.  It helps a lot of people showcase their hidden talents.  Banning TikTok violates the First Amendment right to freedom of speech. This is going to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court will side with freedom of speech and let Tiktok stay. Shame on Congress for violating free speech.  As always comments are accepted.
