Watch it again. The law does not require that TikTok “go dark.” It prevents third party carriers from distributing it. So *the law* does not make the app “disappear” from phones that already have it. TikTok knows this, so they are intentionally depriving their own customers to create backlash

The Laken Riley Act is legislation that may get voted on as early as tomorrow. It takes away our 4th, 8th & 14th Amendment rights(due process) so any police Officer in the country can round people up/detain them indefinitely & deny bail or even their day in court. Everyone's at risk with this bill.
