@MisuseCase The point I was making was an attempt to describe AOC's self interest in TikTok as being Millennial interest, and a conflict of interest (or representation, depending on how you want to look at it.)

I said nothing about lawns or getting off them

@MisuseCase

AOC may not have monetary interest in TikTok, but she has generational interest (her national constituents are largely Millennials and younger). TikTok is mostly an artifact of Millennials and younger.

The fact remains it is a spying platform, and has been used to put surveillance on journalists and others.

National security interests are being weighed against generational-centered social platforms, and one would expect her to object.

Despite Trump/MTG being in the same corner

@taylorlorenz Look who opposes this bill. Trump, Musk, Marjorie Taylor Greene. And AOC, (who suffers from millennial self-interest)

All the wrong people are aligned to protect TikTok

@MisuseCase

75% of TikTok users are 18-34
AOC is 34, and is a Millennial.

Maybe I am not understanding your point

@HistoPol @w7voa I think this is it:
