Summary
A 19-year-old man was arrested for allegedly setting fire to U.S. Rep. Glenn Grothman’s office in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, citing anger over the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision upholding a TikTok ban.
The suspect admitted to the arson, which caused no injuries as the building was unoccupied.
The ban, upheld due to national security concerns about TikTok’s parent company ByteDance, has sparked significant public reactions.
Grothman had supported legislation to ban TikTok earlier in 2024.
A lot of people don’t seem to realize that a lot of small businesses and sole proprietors rely on tictok to generate business. For most people it’s just a stupid video app but for tens of thousands of americans, their livelihood just got ripped out from under them. I think those people have a right to be pissed.
You got any credible sources on that?
You want a citation that the e-commerce industry exist? And that they’ve been protesting since all this started?
