The TikTok Unban Bill
The TikTok Unban Bill
The ban on TikTok is unconstitutional, anti-competitive, and un-American. By granting the President sweeping power to ban foreign-owned apps, H.R. 7521 set a dangerous precedent that threatens free speech, free markets, and digital rights. The TikTok Unban Bill restores constitutional protections, promotes fairness, and addresses real concerns like algorithmic bias and data privacy without resorting to authoritarian bans.
Key Principles
Repeal the TikTok Ban: End H.R. 7521 and allow TikTok to operate freely in the U.S. without forced divestiture.
Protect Free Speech & Fair Markets: Stop government overreach that deplatforms millions of Americans and undermines competition.
Create the Department of Algorithm (DOA):
- Review and report on algorithmic bias across platforms.
- Address biases like stereotyping, gender, negativity dominance, and confirmation bias.
Strengthen Digital Privacy:
- Ban the sale of personal data without explicit user consent.
- Ensure individuals receive a share of proceeds if they authorize their data to be sold.
Protect Children Online: Ban social media accounts for children under 12, with fines for companies that fail to comply.
Establish Clear Rules for Banning Platforms:
- Only Congress can initiate a ban, with majority approval.
- All bans subject to judicial review and presidential action.
America cannot defend democracy abroad while undermining it at home. Banning TikTok was never about security—it was about control. By repealing the ban, protecting digital rights, and addressing real concerns responsibly, we can ensure a free, fair, and open internet for all.
Freedom means free speech, fair competition, and digital rights—not authoritarian bans.
