In reply to the discussion: ACLU: Biden Signs Law Effectively Banning Tik Tok [View all]Marcus IM
(3,001 posts)25. To be like Cuba would require our greatest trading partner putting extraterritorial sanctions on us.
And how do you think that would impact our economy, supply chains, etc etc?
You're right. No one wants to be in that position.
Sane folks don't think that the US's sanctions specifically aimed at destroying their economy are helpful, nor the right thing to be doing.
That's why the UN has overwhelmingly voted to condemn the US sanctions on Cuba for decades.
Have a great one.

Yes. Food supply also. Many foods and additives sold here are banned elsewhere because of health risk.

I think 170 million is an exageration. I only watch TikTok videos if I don't have another source.

I would say those numbers indicate that people need to get off Tiktok and other social media and do something else.

I don't like this action. This is not the time to give Trump more ammo against Joe Biden and Democrats.
