    If the government can just point at a company and force a fire sale then there is no market, there is no order, there is no financial industry. This is an incredibly dangerous law.

        Pray tell how is this any worse than Facebook? Is the CCP in the Los Angeles TikTok office moderating content?

        Or is this just more bullshit invented on the spot to justify an unconstitutional power grab?
