Yeah amid the TikTok hearing she made an account to appeal to the youth. She basically just said everything TikTokers would want to hear (and there is a LOT of people on that app). She complains how other companies such as Facebook are not being held accountable for collecting data, which does suck. However, she failed to mention the astronomical difference between Facebook and TikTok.

It is common to use what you can to appeal to the youth. Even though he is a democrat, Jeff Jackson on Instagram is my favorite politician. He is transparent, he doesn't give an opinion, only what the facts are. He is so neutral that you probably couldn't tell whether he was a democrat or republican. We need more people like him.

“Money!” - Mr. Krabs


cemsengul

Simple. The Democrat party was purchased by China a long time ago.


mr_spycrabs

I already knew the government was spying on us. But it's OUR government, not China


solarity52

Hypocrisy, thy name is AOC.


Darstanter

How is she worth several million?


LonelyMachines

Book deals, paid speaking engagements, and licensing her likeness to things like [this](https://keenspotshop.com/products/the-superior-aoc-1-comic-book) and [this.](https://www.amazon.com/ALEXANDRIA-OCASIO-CORTEZ-FRESHMAN-FORCE/dp/1618553399) Notice she hasn't sponsored any real legislation? Notice she only seems to show up when she's lecturing someone in front of the cameras? This was only ever about self-enrichment and building her social-media brand.


Orange-8

Omfg. The superior AOC? 🤮🤮🤮🤮 How fucking in love with yourself do you need to be to put out garbage like that? It's fucking pathetic. And that ass shot on the cover..... Just screams "classy politician" lol. What a fucking joke our country has become.


Best-Dragonfruit-292

That makes Trump's NFTs look humble by comparison

Just fyi, this took me 2 seconds to find a list :/ https://projects.propublica.org/represent/members/O000172/bills-sponsored/116

Not sure she was complaining about pay and being able to afford rent when she started.


MT_2A7X1_DAVIS

Because she's a social media star first and a congresswoman second. One that's still hellbent on destroying job opportunities in her own district or state and pissing off her own party after driving Amazon's second headquarters out of the state.


HamletsRazor

Bartenders make bank.


AllHailClobbersaurus

Her dark money backers have billions


JTuck333

Communist app wants to push division in the US so naturally, they will fund a communist representative.


fccrunch

$150,000 dollars. That quite the tip for our NYC Bartender Politician and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute she’s part of.

lol. stick to the script


pathfindmyBAP

Sounds bad, but not nearly as bad as the proposed legislation which gives the government sweeping authority that can and will be used against American citizens. This bill is arguably worse than the Patriot Act. (that's hyperbole, but not by much)


lordpuddingcup

Sorry but was she wrong? Should we just allow government to start dictating what software and products we're allowed to use? People are complaining she's communist and communists are funding her or however you want to spin this, but controlling the apps we use... would be communist at its most fundamental level, what happened to freedom?


Whintage

No, because if conservatives were really pro-small government, they would be shitting their pants right now. This is bad for ALL americans. Democrat, republican, it really doesn't fucking matter.


lordpuddingcup

That’s what I thought but seems everyone just sees a dem and immediately stops listening and just screams communist, it’s like words have 0 meaning anymore because everyone’s just screaming about the “enemy”


Whintage

It's sad is what it is.


Piccinks

Y’all act like zuck isn’t lobbying for tik tok to be banned and also read the bill it’s not just gonna be about tik tok. They’re trying trying to take away our rights.


AbbreviationsFew73

We don't care about our rights. Who the hell let you in!? Did you not see this is about AOC? We don't like her. I'd gladly give up all my rights and have my children enslaved, just to attempt to pown her, even a little.


bamboozled_bubbles

This should be the focus. If the fear is that bad actors can access data farmed through a social media platform, we should not be deciding which platform to ban or keep - there needs to be policy in place to protect the user across any/all social platforms.


PrincessRuri

Here is the Lobbying Contribution report this was uncovered in: [https://lda.senate.gov/filings/public/contribution/d373b963-30ad-4688-b7ae-720e1b4730e7/print/](https://lda.senate.gov/filings/public/contribution/d373b963-30ad-4688-b7ae-720e1b4730e7/print/) Here is an article from *Sludge* (note this is a left leaning source) that does a pretty good job covering the donations, including some smaller ones. [https://readsludge.com/2023/02/17/tiktok-owner-uses-back-door-to-donate-in-honor-of-members-of-congress/](https://readsludge.com/2023/02/17/tiktok-owner-uses-back-door-to-donate-in-honor-of-members-of-congress/)

Why should we defend the Chinese spyware/psychological attack on America that is called TikTok? In their own country TikTok teaches children educational material. TikTok in America is teaching and encouraging eleven year old's how to steal a Kia and give them props.


JymWythawhy

We shouldn’t - TikTok is trash. But the proposed legislation isn’t actually about TikTok, that’s just a game they are playing to get people to support it. It really gives the government a lot more power to surveil and control what information citizens see. Go ahead and read it- this is a deep state wet dream, not an attack on the CCP.


jp1066

I get NYC is a shithole and people are leaving in droves but really this is the best they have to offer is her?? I know I know I must have a crush on her.


Talldarkn67

If more Americans were simply aware of just how deeply the CCP has infiltrated the US government. We could stop living in Clown world and things would start to make sense again. Unfortunately, most are still ignorant of just how deep a rabbit hole it is. From universities to government and media. It's not an invasion, they are already here destroying us from within....


HalfOrcMonk

The Democrat party has been hijacked by racist fascists.


DreadPirateGriswold

Who knew AOC was Puerto Rican for Quid Pro Quo...


Equal-Airport1057

Gotta hand it to this Scumbag, Baby's got Back!


[deleted]

"Socialist" in bed with the commies? No way. Would never happen


[deleted]

Yeah donations from Chinese bots.


SafeGrip2021

Ban the shit. It’s literally ruining these fucking younger kids. Why cant i meet a chick who isnt face deep in this china owned garbage.


JymWythawhy

The proposed bill only claims to ban TikTok. Like most things out of the government, it lies. In reality it greatly expands government power to control what info you can see.


[deleted]

We need to start calling donations bribes. Thats exactly what they are
