"H.R. 7521 is censorship — plain and simple. In a purported attempt to protect the data of U.S. residents from Chinese government acquisition, this legislation would forbid app stores and internet service providers from offering TikTok so long as the company remains under foreign ownership. Passing this legislation would trample on the constitutional right to freedom of speech of millions of people in the United States. TikTok is home to massive amounts of protected speech and association: it enables its users to discuss their opinions, share their hobbies, make art, and access news from down the street and around the world. Jeopardizing access to the platform jeopardizes access to free expression."

"If Congress wants to protect Americans’ data, it should pass comprehensive legislation."

The @eff, CDT, ACLU, and Fight for the Future had that to say about the newest attempted TikTok ban.
