I guess parking tickets aren't due process either, then.

Courts of law aren't due process? Lmfao.

It's actually not even that, at least not yet, the bill text just empowers the FTC to do FTC stuff to the company.

First of all, the EU does have protections for their people's data

Second of all, are you asking the USA to pass an act protecting Europeans? That seems a little odd, but sure I'll support it. When it gets introduced I'll call my reps.

It's literally not in the entire text of the Bill hovering directly above this thread. You're literally wrong.

They haven't technically been forced to sell either, the bill gives the FTC the authority to act against them. They still have the opportunity to stop sending copious amounts of Data to China, and if they continue then the FTC ruling will give them an ultimatum usually in the form of massive fines. It would be a weird timeline if China just paid the bill and kept spying, lol.

I cannot imagine why that would be unconstitutional, please explain it to me.

I've been pretty optimistic about it from the start so I might be pretty biased, but it is very vague on what exactly the FTC can do to the companies in violation. If anything, it creates precedent for protecting Americans from corporate interests, so hopefully more to come in the future.

Some things were excluded from my comment such as the 60 day limitation being listed after the definitions, and the definitions are quite long so there could be some important facets in there that I have missed.

If ByteDance continues sending the outlined Data to any offshore location defined as an adversarial nation, then:

So, this is an FTC Enforcement. Since you clearly have no idea what that means, the chairmen of the FTC vote on the specifics of the enforcement and then unless the company accepts the terms it almost certainly becomes contested in the courts where lawyers explain to the judge that they think this is or is not constitutional and lawful action by the FTC to which the judge gives their opinion, and then appeals courts can send the decision to other courts some of which may rule on the case voluntarily such as the SCOTUS (although that is quite rare).

EXAMPLE: Over their handling of data and disruption of local elections the FTC fined Facebook 5Bn USD on July 12, 2019. Facebook will be making installment payments for over a decade. This was a historic record fine, up from the previous highest being 168 Million USD in 2017 against Dish Network.

Skill Issue.

Idk why you need a VPN for 抖音

I'm sorry to hear living in China is so hard for you.

For example, tons of people have been misled to think this bill is a TikTok ban.
