What is the True Crime Related to TikTok?

 What is the True Crime Related to TikTok?


What should concern us about TikTok? Chinese intelligence gathering? The corruption of our youth? Or, stay with me here, the one actual crime: The Congressional usurpation of your right of free expression?

Why Congress Banning TikTok is a Violation of the First Amendment

Amendment 1

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Congress should not be making laws limiting (abridging) free speech by limiting our use of platforms! Congress can not tell you which soapboxes you can stand on to deliver your message or dissent!

The First Amendment of the United States Constitution guarantees freedom of speech. This means that the government cannot restrict what people say, write, or publish. A ban on TikTok would violate this fundamental right because it would prevent people from using a platform to express themselves.

TikTok is a social media platform that allows users to create and share short videos. It has become increasingly popular in recent years, especially among young people. The app has been used to share videos about a wide range of topics, including politics, social justice, and entertainment.

There are several reasons why a ban on TikTok would be a violation of the First Amendment. 

  1. The app is a popular way for people to express themselves. TikTok users often use the app to share videos about their lives, their thoughts, and their experiences. A ban on TikTok would prevent people from sharing these experiences with others on that platform.
  2. TikTok is a valuable tool for political speech. The app has been used by activists and politicians to share their messages with a wide audience. A ban on TikTok would make it more difficult for people to share their political views.
  3. TikTok is a platform for creative expression. The app has been used by artists, musicians, and other creative professionals to share their work with others. A ban on TikTok would stifle the creativity of these individuals.

A ban on TikTok would be a violation of the First Amendment because it would prevent people from using a platform to express themselves. The app is a popular way for people to share their lives, their thoughts, and their experiences. It is also a valuable tool for political speech and creative expression. Abridging the right of the people to use such a platform violates our Constitutional right of free speech, free expression, and petition. Our lawmakers are breaking our laws!

Do we wait for perfect people?

  Do we wait for perfect people? There are not now, nor have there ever been, perfect people, except one, and if you believe that story, we crucified him! Is perfection attainable? Human history and daily practice say no. Should we let that stand in the way of progress?  A historian I trust said that one of our founders was a horrible man. I have no argument against that theory. The question then: “Is the product of his intellect invalid?" If the product of the minds of our founders is deemed incorrect and inoperable because they were severely flawed men, we also have no right to take on the trials of our own day! We are as flawed as they, in ways we can not yet grasp! Do we wait for perfect documents? Our founders were flawed, as we have noted. We live and work in a system they created. Is that system inherently wrong as a result? Shall we wait for perfect people to produce perfect governing documents? If so, we would not to this day have attended the greatest evil of their t...

Trump Major Failures!

Ending TPP  Ending JCPOA Ending NAFTA  Ending Affiliation with WTO    TPP  The Trans-Pacific Partnership, which Trump obviously did not understand was the biggest boon to China in this century! Under the agreement, we would have an economic and democracy-boosting agreement with the Pacific Rim nations that would have rivaled China and provided security and economic and military leverage against them!  JCPOA  The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action was intended to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons and improve regional and global security. Iran accepted restrictions on its nuclear program and underwent regular inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency. Our removal from the program resulted in our blindness to the Iranian nuclear progress, which is now just short of weapons production!  NAFTA  The North American Free Trade Agreement was ended by the Trump administration and the new agreement brokered by them led to higher U...

Grievances against the King of England and Donald Trump

 Grievances against the King of England and Donald Trump The list of grievances against the King of England, as it appears in the Declaration of Independence: “The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. He has called together legislative bodies at place...
