Well?
The actually thing is the social media network could divest itself from the Chinese government to stay in business….
The vote was OVERWHELMING 352 to 65…..
The US Senate is NOT in a hurry to deal with action…..
Some are worried that the same action could be aimed at other social media networks….
But its fate now rests in the Senate, where some lawmakers have expressed concern it may run afoul of the Constitution by infringing on millions of Americans’ rights to free expression and by explicitly targeting a business operating in the United States.
None of the Squad voted for this bill:
While Rashida Tlaib didn’t vote Ayanna Pressley (Mass.), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), Cori Bush (Mo.) and Ilhan Omar (Minn.) all voted Nay.
So did (among 35 Democrats opposed) Jim McGovern of Massachusetts, Barbara Lee, Ro Khanna, and Katie Porter of California, and Pramila Jayapal (Wash.), chair of the House Progressive Caucus.
Adam Schiff, Barbara Lee & Katie Porter all competed for the Senate seat vacated by Dianne Feinstein’s death.
But several moderate or establishment Democrats voted against it, too, such as Eric Swalwell & Adam Schiff of Calif., Dean Phillips (!) of Minn. and Katherine Clark of Mass.
Similarly, for the much fewer 15 GOP opponents, Freedom Caucus diehards MTG & Matt Gaetz voted nay, but so did Thomas Massie of Ky and Nancy Mace of S.C.

On what OTHER network could Trump & Co go after?
The network could easily be sold to an American company….
But yes….
Such a move could have lasting effects elsewhere
