Congress passed a law last year that <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/gen-z-influencers-thank-president-elect-trump-saving-tiktok" target="_blank" rel="noopener">forced TikTok</a> to be sold to an American company or be banned in the U.S. with a deadline of Jan. 19.<br>"You did it yourself, TikTok, TikTok-ers," Rapaport said as he launched into his rant. "You can say what you want about Elon Musk. You can say what you want about Zuckerberg. At least we have a face. At least we have people to complain to. We can tweet at them. We can DM them. We could put our face on wax and scream and yell at them."<br><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/michael-rapaport-goes-ballistic-gavin-newsom-over-la-fires-trump-proofing-california-try-fire-proofing" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>MICHAEL RAPAPORT GOES BALLISTIC ON GAVIN NEWSOM OVER LA FIRES: ‘TRUMP-PROOFING CALIFORNIA?
