  Do tell what this “heavy-handed response” would better have been.

  I don't know, SOMETHING OTHER THAN KILLING TENS OF THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT CHILDREN, perhaps?!?!?

  It's a meme of a Latina child saying (translated into English) "Why can't we have both?"

  This was a good Walking Simulator! It's just that I got stuck once I got to the maze. I didn't know what to do. 😔

  If misconduct were an impeachable offense, Trumpy would've been convicted for 1/6.

  Moreover, that you're blaming the 13,000 children dead for things they had nothing to do with (e.g. voting in Hamas, rejecting the Camp David accords) is despicable and monstrous.

  Sounds to me like you're blaming a prison for a prison riot. Do you blame the prisoners at Attica for not accepting being tortured? It's not like the Palestinians could just leave Gaza, they were imprisoned there.

  Fair enough.

  The First Amendment is probably the only form of case law where the SC’s conservative justices don’t guided by ideology or are wild cards on.

  Or Native American tribal rights, where four out of nine justices (i.e. Sotomayor, Jackson, Kagan, and Gorsuch (yes, Gorsuch. He's a stopped clock on this issue)) are in favor of upholding their rights.

  Can’t buy a second home in Mexico if you aren’t Mexican.

  My Uncle who lives in Colorado was able to do so.

  Though even here, the PAFACA’s co-author Mike Gallagher has expressed objections to content on the platform relating to the Gaza war: in a “Free Press” op-ed in November, one of the reasons he believes TikTok should be banned is because he believes they “promoted” pro-Palestinian content (read: content that organically went viral), support he wrongly believed equates to support for Hamas (Jonathan Greenblatt of the Anti-Defamation League has expressed similar sentiments, and at least one pro-Israel group commended the House for passing the bill), thus adding more questions about the bill’s legality, since the First Amendment explicitly prohibits content-based restrictions.

  Given Kacsmaryk, the Fifth Circus, and the Silly Clowns Of The United States who assault the constitution as often as we breathe air, even legal precedents we take for granted such as "The First Amendment is Free Speech" seems to be subject to the whims of far-right extremist legislators disguised as judges.

  I concur.

  Really I hate TikTok passionately. I avoid using it as much as I can. I hate how addicting it tries to be, hate its moderation standards, hate how easy misinformation spreads. I generally think it’s bad for society. Congress making me side with TikTok in this fight is an impressive feat.

  I didn't even start a TikTok account. But banning it is probably the dumbest move possible and of course that's what Congress did.

  I was working on outdated information…they are no longer published by Adult Swim so this doesn't affect them. Sorry to make you worried!

  Okay, it looks like that they are no longer published by Adult Swim, my friend dodged a bullet there.

  Um, yeah, didn't I already say that? I think you're agreeing with me. Unless you're saying you are, which in this case I deeply apologize.
