Tulsi Gabbard warns Joe Rogan that the TikTok bill is 'the most egregious violation of civil liberties since the Patriot Act.'

"It's not outside of the realm of possibility that if they want to say, well, elon musk
is doing business with this country that we don't like, and he also owns this platform called X."

"X should be shut down because of this association."

"It's not really about TikTok at all. It's about government being able to choose what platforms are acceptable and what is not and what we as Americans can either get information from or put information out."

"If they are giving themselves that authority, how will it be enforced?"

"Then you get into the civil liberties concern of the Fourth Amendment of government overreach and trying to figure out, okay, well, now I'm gonna have to look into your phone and figure out if you're the guy who's using the VPN, to illegally download this app."

"The language is intentionally vague. This puts far more power into the hands of the executive branch, just like the Patriot Act did, to single-handedly say, well, this is a good guy, and this is a bad guy. And that has direct implications for Americans."
