Bream opened the segment quoting Warner, “As painful as it is for me to say, if Donald Trump was right and we could’ve taken action then, that’d have been a heck of a lot easier than trying to take action in November of 2022.”
Bream then asks if Washington simply did not listen because of their distance for the messenger. Warner answers with, “I think Donald Trump was right. TikTok is an enormous threat.” Warner continues on calling TikTok a threat on two levels. It collects hoards of information, he mentions American children and describes that they are able to gather the keystrokes. He tells parents of TikTok users they should be concerned, all of the data is being stored somewhere in Bejing. Currently, the Justice Department is trying to work on a solution to this.
Warner then moves on to the second problem. “TikTok in a sense is a broadcasting network” that is a part of the Chinese communist party and they will be able to control what content is promoted, such as content that promotes Taiwan as really a part of China. Which would pale in comparison to Russian propaganda according to the senator.
In 2020 former President Donald Trump announced publicly he was considering banning the platform, it was even proposed that an American company purchase TikTok however that never manifested. TikTok wasn’t banned and two years later it seems Congress is now taking this security threat seriously.
It remains to be seen what action will be taken by Congress and the Justice Department, but Warner’s statement says it all, it would have been a “heck of a lot easier” if they had only taken […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
