@Terry @sjw @comradepond @graf Not this goddamn horseshit again. Nobody born after 1990 knows how to verify primary source, they just know charge they phone, be video, eat psyop, and fail to read any words but just watch videos.
Lemme just go ahead and tag everyone that reposted this: @McMongoose @Xenomorph @Gundog @Heil_Honkler @IAMAL_PHARIUS @Chineseman @lichelordgodfrey @professionalbigot69 @sargoysmuck @SuperSnekFriend @wishgranter14 @Wolffkran . Then, to keep it under 16 people tagged, I'll just take out the National Just Podcasts guy, because he is an idiot.
I already discussed SB-686 April of last year. The short version is that anyone panicking about it right now is either unable to read the text of the bill ( https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-bill/686/text?format=txt&r=15&s=1 ) or they are shills.
Here is my commentary from last time, plop it into the search box on your instance, you will see it if it federated: https://freespeechextremist.com/objects/5f4bf372-9f53-4c3c-89f1-748f5989958d . For your convenience, while checking that the post did indeed federate everywhere, I kept the links and have dumped them here.

As far as this time goes, here is a piece of advice: the consistent stream of low-quality lies pouring out of TikTok mean that if there is anything important going on and someone posts a goddamn TikeToke at you, the only rational course of action is rape correction. Do you want the rape correction, Terry?
This round of TakTak is even fucking dumber than last time:
> See Tiktok video
> Some guy is hand-wringing over some bill before the Senate
> Ha, that reminds me of when they were shitting themselves over that other bill.
> Tiktok promotes content that is in Tiktok's interest, so they do not mind nudging bullshit to the top of the list.
> They are shitting themselves over SB-686
> It's the same shit
> It's the same style but this time it is some "Hey, fello teenagers" guy with a backwards baseball cap instead of some bearded fatty
> He's just reading random definitions from the bill.
I remember this from last time. It's the same shit as last time. It's retarded.
> Reads the "criminal penalties" section
> "A person that willfully commits [...] an unlawful act described in subsection (a)"
> "THIS MEANS THAT IF YOU USE A VPN TO LOOK AT TIKTOK YOU WILL GO TO JAIL"
> That is not a violation of subsection (a)
The only way to violate subsection (a) is to own a service or sell a product as part of a business that operates under the jurisdiction of a "foreign adversary" and has more than 1m users/customers in the US, or to do things like attempt to conceal that you are a Chinese company by using cutouts, which Chinese companies have been doing since forever, and which all of that "attempts to circumvent" stuff is about. See attached.
YOU CANNOT VIOLATE THIS ACT AS A PRIVATE US CITIZEN JUST BY USING A VPN TO LOOK AT TIKTOK
THAT IS GODDAMN RETARDED
THE BILL MENTIONING VPNs DOES NOT MEAN VPNs ARE ILLEGAL
HE HAS COMPLETELY FABRICATED THE "if you knowingly did so to access banned content" SHIT BECAUSE APPARENTLY THE CCP SENDS HIM SCRIPTS OR SOMETHING
HE GOES ALL THE WAY OFF THE FUCKING RAILS WITH THE SURVEILLANCE BULLSHIT
THERE IS ALL KINDS OF AWFUL SURVEILLANCE BULLSHIT, BUT YOU ARE NOT A COVERED ENTITY
UNLESS INSTAGRAM IS SOLD TO CHINA, HE IS FULL OF SHIT ABOUT THAT PART, TOO
HE CLOSES WITH "It really is that bad and I am not speaking in hyperbole" AND IF HE ACTUALLY BELIEVED THAT IT WAS AS BAD AS HE SAYS, THEN HE WOULD HAVE READ THE BILL.
IF YOU LISTEN TO ANYTHING THIS GUY SAYS AFTER THIS VIDEO, GIVEN HOW COMPLETELY FULL OF SHIT HE IS ON THIS POINT, THEN YOU ARE FUCKING RETARDED.
> Everyone freaking out about it this time is worse than the people that freaked out about it last time because it is the same nothingburger as last time
I could dig up my old posts about this when everyone was freaking out last time, or you could go to https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-bill/686/text?s=1&r=15 and look at section 3, "ADDRESSING INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES THAT POSE UNDUE OR UNACCEPTABLE RISK" and read it. That section is where the meat is, the rest is just scaffolding: definitions (which do not matter out of context, like this dipshit reading off definitions; it's just a list of products that are covered), penalties, etc., might sound scary out of context but that is why they are being read out of context. This bill doesn't even ban Tiktok, it literally just gives Commerce the authority to evaluate and possibly veto some transactions
EVERYONE WHO GETS NEWS ABOUT THE LAW BY WATCHING A VIDEO ON TIKTOK GETS WHAT THEY FUCKING DESERVE
NOT ONLY IS TRUSTING TIKTOK TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH ABOUT ANYTHING THAT MIGHT AFFECT THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA EXACTLY LIKE TRUSTING THE NEW YORK TIMES TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH ABOUT THE CIA OR TRUSTING RT TO GIVE YOU THE TRUTH ABOUT PUTIN, IT IS A GODDAMN VIDEO AND I HATE SITTING THROUGH THIS SHIT
FOR EVERY PERSON THAT STIRS UP A PANIC ABOUT THIS SHIT WITHOUT ACTUALLY LOOKING TO SEE IF IT IS COMPLETE HORSESHIT, I WILL BASH A FOLDING CHAIR OVER THAT PERSON'S HEAD WHILE THE REF ISN'T LOOKING :randysavage:
