It's not a ban of tiktok when they are being forced to sell to a usa company.

And in what way will free speech be hurt? Now I can make jokes about Xi Jinping looking like Winnie the pooh on tiktok once the USA owns it. If anything speech will be more free and this is a shitpost from a China shill.

Fuck the CcP and Fuck Xi jinping! - free enough for you?

Why are you so angry? I never meant or even said what you are implying i did. Quiet the contrary: read the wikipage again, its about when it is justified to act like the side you want to ban.

I calmly and deliberately don't like the ccp or xijinping.

The actual problem is that the language of the bill is looking to make it far easier for a president to ban any given potentially foreign influenced video platform. That's not fantastic and it's been masked under these compounding layers of absurdity.
