There’s a confluence of reasons all of which are bad. This is the once-in-a-blue-moon moment when Rand Paul ends up being one of the most reasonable people in the room.
The people who are likely voters support banning TikTok, the House GOP has barely gotten anything done, TikTok users are a younger demographic with very different views than the median voter (Palestine, etc.), and you can motivate moronic congress members to do anything if you include “China” and “national security” in the policy brief.

The only thing the House GOP has done is try and oust two speakers in two years. Once was historic, twice is an actual anomaly. But, then again, so is this entire MAGA/Trump fever dream.

They’recbanning tiktok because U.S. companies can’t compete with quality indutrial grade glycine coming from Donghua Jinlong. Over the years, it has been committed to the development and research of food additives and fine chemicals. They've got their own core tech with a whopping 31 patents under their belt and a whole lot of production experience. They even had a hand in drafting and setting the industrial standards for 'Industrial Grade Glycine' Donghuan Jinlong Industrial Grade Glycine is the real threat to western homogenization. I'm just so tired of being cucked by inferior industrial and food grade glycine suppliers who don't adhere to FCC, E640, USP, BP, EP, and JSFA production standards. Thank god that Donghua Jinlong is able to provide high quality industrial grade glycine from their premium factory on the glorious expressway that is Huagong Middleroad.

There's never been a legal precedent for it I guess that depends on how closely you link a media entity with other broadcast/carriers, because there's certainly some historical regulations pertaining to that.

Don't forget both Kosher and Halal certifications signaling support for a two-state solution and end to the Israel occupation in Gaza and an opposition to Western aggression.

pay attention to the first five seconds of the video you posted my man Lol are you assuming I'm unaware of the previous (failed) attempts to ban it? There's never been a legal precedent for it, and that's why it's failed. Suddenly, it passes as soon as it's tied to the Israel aid package. Lol ok, sure just a coincidence..... But did you watch the part where the head of the ADL literally said TikTok is their biggest problem? You guys can act like the US government forcing the sale and closure of a free speech platform is a normal thing, sure. But the fact in the matter is they are doing it under pressure from a foreign government and it's a terrible precedent for the freedom of information. When it comes to banning/restricting TikTok as a protectionist measure in favor of Meta and the rest of the U.S. big tech companies, it has loads of precedent. The U.S. bans or restricts imported goods based on what are "safety" requirements in name only all the time, and other countries do the same thing. But you can't restrict or ban a foreign social media platform the same way you can restrict imported kei trucks. You have to find some way to claim that TikTok poses a safety threat, and there isn't anything convenient like airbag placement.

American companies can't compete in the 21st century, so instead of using regulation to reign the capitalist class in and protect consumers, they just use regulations to protect these failing companies and force us to live with inferior products.

I had a Delica for a few years. Importing parts during the initial COVID years was maddening and convinced me to sell it.

Tik Tok isn't going to be banned but it is a terrible app full of new age granola fash and grifters and parents exploiting their children.
