Vote Against TikTok Ban: Protect Digital Freedom of Expression

To: Sen. Manchin, Sen. Capito

From: A verified voter in Charleston, WV

March 15, 2024

The recent bipartisan vote in the House of Representatives, 352-65, has brought us closer to a nationwide ban on TikTok unless it separates from its parent company, ByteDance. This move, while rooted in concerns over national security, could inadvertently infringe upon the freedom of speech of millions of US app users. It is crucial to consider the potential implications of such a ban on the diverse voices that utilize this platform. The Senate's decision on this matter will significantly impact the digital landscape. Therefore, it is requested to vote against the ban, ensuring the preservation of digital freedom of expression. This stance not only upholds constitutional rights but also challenges the concentration of social media services, fostering a more diverse digital environment.
