Senator John Fetterman and TikTok had a bit of a disagreement on Twitter today. It ended in a total own by Fetterman. Fetterman may possibly own TikTok now. That would be preferable to the Chinese Communist Party, so there is that.
Every single American company must bend to the Chinese communist government’s will to operate in China.

I voted yes to force this sale to make TikTok safer for our children and national security.
Their arrogance is astounding. pic.twitter.com/nrtwUorfPw
It all started when Fetterman took to Twitter to explain his vote to ban TikTok in the United States.
Since when is it arrogant to stand up for the constitution and freedom of speech? https://t.co/fdzpQWnQLv

Obviously, TikTok had a rebuttal ready, as misleading as it may be.

John Fetterman has a very social media savvy staff and they quickly had a reply. I think that's what the kids call 'owning' your opponent.
SENATOR BETTERMAN STRIKES AGAIN

If the others are owned by the Chinese Communist Party and are using their assets to spy on American, yes.
