  Utter garbage: >The authors worked with stakeholders and the White House and Department of Justice for months to address concerns — including concerns about whether the legislation could violate the constitution. Even after all the work, Krishnamoorthi told reporters that the 352 votes the bill received “was not predicted.” >“That’s a testament to the power of the bill and the concern about ByteDances’ ownership of TikTok,” he said. - ...stakeholders... <-- explicitely define and name [stakehoders] ...concern about ByteDances’ ownership.... <-- and the assumed US based owner would be whom? And where would the firehose go? - If the concern is that the firehose currently points to China, and we are worried that we are being syphoned for PII nationally - but the assumption is that US ownership does exactly what to the PII firehose? Who is consuming the meta off such a flow? And is it just assumed that we what, splice off a feed? How does this work specifically from a data, PII, protections, ownership, routing, hosting, costing, support, etc side? -- EDIT -- I forgot the best part: >>“It was a 12 page bill,” Gallagher said of the speed right after the vote. “I mean, it wasn’t like an omnibus that we just shoved in people’s faces. Even a member of Congress could read 12 pages in a matter of hours.” 12 pages. POST THE FN BILL. --- Am I being obtuse?
