'''Discussion 4:''' | |||
The congress website has a tracker eg this link tracks "STOP CCP ACT" introduced on September: https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/6686/text?r=48&s=1 | |||
It also has an alert. | |||

[[user:Aron]]: Cool thanks. Any insights on the bill itself? Is there a way in general to have a guessing/tracking on any particular bill how it is doing? (Like websites specialized on tracking how it is doing, credible people giving their opinion on it, public statements on support etc.) | |||

I think it is relevant and can easily be passed given that: | |||
1. It's a bipartisan bill. | |||
2. It's not the first bill targeting TikTok to be passed in US senate. In 2020 the "no TikTok on Government Devices Act" was passed. | |||

3 a). During recent weeks, Several states, most Republican-led eg Alabama, Utah, Texas, Maryland and South Dakota have banned TikTok on state devices. This will likely embolden the senators to pass the bill. | |||
3b). Republicans will take control of the House in January, and the bill could be a sign of tough scrutiny they plan to apply to Chinese companies. | |||

4. FBI Director Christopher Wray is concerned about the security risks that TikTok poses. | |||

[[user:Aron]] Nice. Please investigate a bit more. Is this of any relevance or will it likely fail or don't have any material impact? | |||
