Rand Paul questions GOP stance on TikTok ban and free speech.

Republican Senator Rand Paul blocked the bid to fast-track the Chinese-owned social media app TikTok's ban, citing concerns about free speech. He warned that a ban on the app will imitate "Chinese speech bans" and asked if the US is "going to be just like China"? The RESTRICT Act, proposed by Senators Mark Warner and John Thune, has raised concerns among both Democrats and Republicans, with some citing free speech and other issues and objecting to the legislation targeting TikTok as overly broad.
