      It’s sad that most people don’t know that a plurality isn’t the same thing as a majority

      ACLU is against it due to principals of freedom of speech not that TikTok is some worthwhile company.

      Trump is against it because he wants a big bribe for them to continue to operate. He has always been a blackmail king so this is right up his alley.
