Speaker 1 (00:05):
A significant legal decision has been reached regarding TikTok, where
a federal appeals court has upheld legislation that could mandate
its Chinese owners to either divest our face a complete
ban in the United States. This ruling underscores growing concerns
(00:26):
over national security, particularly the potential for foreign entities to
influence or manipulate American digital platforms. The debate surrounding TikTok's
future encapulates the broader conflict between safeguarding national security and
upholding the principles of information freedom. From a constitutionalist perspective,
(00:50):
there's a call for greater transparency regarding the specific threats
posed by TikTok. The question lingers whether this move against
TikTok represents a necessary defense against espionage and data misuse,
are if it might be seen as an overstep infringing
(01:11):
on free speech, potentially fueled by xenophobia rather than concrete evidence.
This situation presents a complex interplay of national interests, privacy,
and the freedom of information, challenging policymakers to find a
balance that respects both security and civil liberties. And I
(01:32):
would say, to be truthful, there's a lot of apps
out there that have foreign entities who own a bit
of part of it, and are we only going after
the Chinese people? Are we going after over people as well?
And I think that with something like this with TikTok,
(01:54):
it opens up the can of worms of our government
telling us what we can and cannot use. I'll give
you an example. Telegram owned by a I think the
Turkish person. It's not an American based software, but a
lot of Americans use it, And so what would be
(02:15):
the next thing they would go after? Telegram or the
next app? The next app, the next app. And it's
not like you can particularly actually keep us from being
able to use TikTok, because at the end of the day,
there's a thing called a VPN. I have a link
on the website a go writnews dot com where a
(02:37):
federal appeals court ruled to uphold a law that will
face TikTok's parents company to sell the platform a band
at the United States. If you want to read that

(03:02):
Go write news. Re Peter Boykin, We're making moves. Freedom
and liberty always on the rise, tune into the truth
