Ha, eat that China! Now you need to pay millions to American oligarchs for all our user data!
USA!
ITT: Braindeads defending government censorship of the internet as if Zuckerberg won't immediately replace the void with his own platform or by buying out TikTok in a bid.
Banning one platform would not magically get rid of short attention span and brainrot you fools. Every social media company already copied or utilizes the same techniques as TikTok, which is already a massive platform because they don't spam ban or regulate content as hard as Facebook and YouTube do.
It is insulting that a Chinese run social media platform provides more freedom of speech online than its US competitors.
They're banning it to remove competition, congress does not care about its effects on privacy or health, otherwise they'd have done something about Faceebook, Insta, Twiiter, and YouTube decades ago. They pulled their usual committee shenanigans to pretend to care by calling in CEOs to testify, and then promptly accepting a shitload of lobbying money.
so America bans tiktok for the same reason china bans Facebook
Just wait 'til truth.social and xitter run the country. Wouldn't be surprised if TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, MySpace, WeChat, LinkedIn, Reddit, Pinterest, Discord and Tumblr all get banned.
Well this is going to go extremely poorly.
Good riddance, vertical videos are cancer, short form obliterates attention spans, and their algorithm is engineered specifically to addict people, especially kids.
Now to ban all the rest of them. Let's start with Facebook. Twitter is already killing itself but could stand to be "helped" off the cliff.
already banned, but thanks
Now the horses are completely out of the stables, we close the door before the cows get any ideas
I get it, but also can you imagine a foreign country banning Amazon because "it means the US can see what you're up to and it gets to choose what deals to push at you" etc?
I mean.. Facebook for god's sake..
Being protectionist makes sense sometimes but it screws you over when other countries start banning your apps in favour of home grown alternatives..
The ban will not stand up and, because he had no core principles and is an opportunistic scoundrel, when this fails inevitably, trump will folly shift position and reframe/embrace the failure as deliberate action he took to "give tiktok back to the young people". He'll then do his double jerk off dance on the white house account and cement another couple decades of loyalty from the underinformed gen zers who will make up the bulk mass of humanity that officially drives us into full "ouch my balls" idiocracy
I cannot decide what to support here. On one hand, Tiktok is a blight and a cancer upon the whole world. But on the other hand, I'm kind of a libertarian, anyone should be able to do what they like.
stupid rule that helped cost Harris the election. Fuck every moron that voted for it.
Honestly this might stop some of these bad shit in the same stupid ass trends that keeps cycling on the platforms.
That devious lick bullshit that happened a few years back was absolutely stupid, and it's only going downhill from there with the stupid bust into the bathrooms rearrange the Isles of all the grocery stores
