So how likely is it they ban Tik tok?

[Oatmeal]

I pray to the Ancestors they do.

Get that shyt the fukk outta here !! It’s built to cause adhd

I don't even know why black folks even on it for real, I remember when it was exposed early on that the algorithm hid content by black people and TikTok came out with a sorry not sorry statement and YT people were stealing MASSIVE amounts of content like that dancing woman that Jimmy Fallon gassed up that stole a black girls choreography

But what app am I going to use to see all the cool challenges and dances

Just use VPN, Reddit is banned in my country and I access it everyday using VPN.

Waste of time.

Shiny weapons for sparkly wars fought by attention whores and supported by the perpetually bored.

You know how humans think cats are stupid for losing their ish over a laser pointer they can't help chasing? This is that pattern played on another octave of resonance for the same type of amusement by a different type of intelligence.

Picks a few anecdotal rumors and blame social media for it... as if rumors haven't been a thing before social media. Why do you think they prioritizing banning Tik Tok over banning;

- Tax avoidance loop holes for the rich and corporations
- Privatized prisons
- Cancerous foods
- Qualified immunity
- Assault weapons/Guns
- Corporate lobbying
- Child Labor
- Imported Meat
- Red 40
- Artificial Sweeteners
- Pork
- Forced Birth
- Predatory practices of the U.S. Healthcare system
- Tax exemptions for Churches
- Insider Trading
- Gerrymandering
- Predatory lending


You telling me Tik Tok has precedent over all of those things and somehow this makes sense to you? While you're over here worried about people watching videos, this country has been fukking you since your Ancestors were kidnapped and shipped here.

There’s no mechanism to delineate between fact and fiction, and you’d probably fight against there being one.

My parents and their friends are getting fukked up by Facebook reels the exact same way, so not much will change

This thread is s trip.

They’re not getting rid of TikTok because it’s unhealthy, or that there’s too much information that the government doesn’t want you to see.

The sole reason why they’re thinking of bushing it is because it’s effectively Chinese spyware, that collates user data without their knowledge.

 

[Silver Surfer]

How is ot even allowed when it's confirmed it's a Chinese spy tool?

 

[MarcP]

A lot of anti-capitalism, communism, socialism videos from mostly young-looking people have showing up on tiktok lately. Could be the reason they want to crackdown.

Just like pretty much every major social media platform for the last decade+? It comes down to the information. They don’t give a shyt about spyware or it being a Chinese company. There are so many other Chinese based apps that they don’t even bat an eye for.
