I dunno, maybe motion to expel? At a minimum, censure? They don't actually give a shit, which is why they don't even go so far as the slap on the wrist that a censure is. It's pathetic.

Kemp vetoed free school lunches. Kemp and his shithole spokespeople don't get to have an opinion on “Protecting the lives of the most vulnerable among us".
"You will own nothing and you will be happy"
When my fiance died a number of years ago, somehow Riot Games found out that we were pretty avid League of Legends players/watchers. They reached out to me to adopt an animal in her honor at our (most) local zoo. It surprises what some game companies will do for their players, and it's a gesture I'm likely to never forget as long as I live.
Again, it's scope and risk. I'm sorry you're having such a hard time wrapping your head around that reality. It's been a topic for YEARS, and isn't remotely sinophobic (governments != race). You are literally parroting CCP arguments to keep the platform in place, and it's almost comical you cannot see it. I'm guessing you'd be ok with the foreign aircraft surveillance if they had a banner on the planes because "muh speech". Also, you keep peddling literally false information. Do better.
Again, when it comes to national security and cybersecurity, it really is as simple as whether it's owned by an adversarial nation. It has nothing to do with race (as your "sinophobia" comment would imply), and everything to do with an adversarial government using access to US citizens' data to do harm. The data war is very, very real, and TikTok is a decently sized part of it.
Also, none of these other companies are owned by foreign adversaries. So yeah... Twitter isn't the same kind of threat that a Chinese owned and operated tech agency is (although we're learning is starting to get close). So yeah, they wouldn't be bothered (yet) unless major overhauls to data sharing rights occurs.
In all fairness, the axe should be dropped on Twitter as well. Full-on regulation of how data is shared needs to occur. If that's your argument here, I agree. But censorship? It's never *really* been about that with TikTok.

Here's another source from the FCC in 2022 https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/29/tech/fcc-google-apple-tiktok-block/index.html
The point here is that TikTok has been a known cybersecurity threat for *years*. And they *have* shared data with foreign entities. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/emilybakerwhite/tiktok-tapes-us-user-data-china-bytedance-access
Then you didn't read the article. Guidance was to exercise caution in personal lives, not a ban in their personal lives. Obviously the DoD cannot limit what their members can or cannot do in their personal lives outside of lawful directives (which that would not be). I can share more articles about how some members outside of the DoD have called for removing it as well. Here's one: https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/29/tech/fcc-google-apple-tiktok-block/index.html
A TikTok ban was already done in the DoD under a GOP-led executive branch. It's not just "the Dems trying to censor us!". It's that TikTok poses a major cybersecurity threat and has for a very, very long time (current "reasons" notwithstanding"). https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/u-s-army-bans-tiktok-following-guidance-pentagon-n1109001
The DoD has been trying to ban TikTok for years. They pushed it out of the army years ago, so it's definitely not *just* censorship. It's a national security threat and has been since before 2019. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/u-s-army-bans-tiktok-following-guidance-pentagon-n1109001
Bipartisan COVID relief. Dems "crossed the aisle" to help pass that legislation under Trump. Now, what about Republicans?
Something something "big mom energy"
I really didn't unless you already knew "just leave" is a cop-out. No one would "just leave" without money helping them to do so and clearly you agree with that. It's a BS argument and (clearly) you know that. Debating someone making arguments in obvious bad faith is a good time. Also, you assume that the person complaining that it's a shithole is doing nothing to change it. Wild.
You're argument hinges on going anywhere but the United States. That's *extremely* disingenuous, because no sane person would give up their life in the US for another country unless it could provide something similar (Canada, Euro-zone, Scandinavia, etc.). Every country that one could go to with *potentially better living conditions* has very stringent immigration rules, many of which money can fix. "Just leave" is a cop-out.
Little thing called money stops a lot of people from just "leaving". Saying people can just leave is a copout.
Menacing is illegal.
Troll account. Ignore and move on.
Your comment history reeks of someone who lives in a vacuum and disregards expert opinions on critical topics, such as sex education and transgenderism. You aren't an intellectual, you're a sophist who parades themselves around as one.
