House passes tic tok ban bill!

I'm more than positive the courts will strike this down.

The way this got passed was scummy as hell. It got attached to a Ukrain funding bill at the very last second. There's a chance that a lot of them didn't even know it was there.

I'm curious why anybody who doesn't use tiktok would think this is bad. I assume people who do use it are under their own illusions and can't be objective. I've heard one good counter-argument ever.

Gives precedent to pull any social media the government deems a threat to national security?

I'm more than positive the courts will strike this down.

Those that support this bill, what are your reasons for support?

It's the only platform owned by an enemy foreign actor. Next plz.

I hope everyone supporting this understands the precedent this sets.

Another win for the nanny state

And what precedent is that? There's nothing unique about tiktok other than the size of its user base. It's basically vine. The reason it's going to be banned is because it's a national security risk. The exact same reason China doesn't allow American social network companies to operate there.

Wow. Okay ill try and make this simple. What do you define as an enemy foreign actor? Is that something objective enough that you want it written into law?

Doubling down on your same argument isn't in any way compelling. China is an enemy of the US, and foreign. The actor part you can look up yourself.

so what you're saying is it's not actually any different from US owned social media other than it's foreign

so weird xenophobic shit basically

So do we want to be like China now? Is that really your argument?

You just do whatever the government thinks is best for you with no critical thought?

If AOC is so humanitarian why isn't she sleeping with incels?
If AOC is so great then why doesn't she sleep with incels?

Just so you know here are some topics made by the user you're attempting to have a conversation with:

Yes he made the same topic three times over the span of like 2 weeks

well, it is basically Chinese governmental spyware, so i don't really see the issue

There are legit security concerns but this bill is also being pushed by American social media companies since Tik Tok is their biggest competitor.

what the fuck

You're not thinking beyond your hatred of China. If the US labels the UK as a dangerous foreign actor would you be in favor of banning anything based there?

That is the precedent that youre okay with. Its way too broad.

China is masterful at social engineering. Their government owns the platform. Undermining the US by making a toxic cesspool for the plebs of America to waste away in is a great way to undermine America. Since it's a foreign enemy it's a unique case.

Some similar arguments for getting rid of American social media sites too yes, but those aren't foreign or enemy owned so they need to be dealt with by some other mechanism, and I can't think of one that would preserve the good parts of the internet.

If we somehow ended up in a war with the UK that would be necessary sure. But we aren't and we likely never will be so your whataboutism is irrelevant here. China is CURRENTLY our enemy. And I don't hate China, they are just our enemy. I think China is a dystopian nightmare, but I've heard a lot of people say it's nice there. The issue really does boil down to TikTok's ownership and nothing more.

Yes what the fuck is this slander. You're full of shit, get out.

so what you're saying is it's not actually any different from US owned social media other than it's foreign

so weird xenophobic shit basically

So you're denying you made those topics? Is that the road you wanna go down?

Its not whataboutism. Anyone our country labels as an enemy is automatically an enemy in your eyes with no further thought.

Good to know.

Uh yeah? You have me confused with someone else. Or you're just gaslighting, hard to tell here sometimes.

You do realize there's an archive of CE topics on the internet right and they're on there as we speak

Feel free to post proof of your entirely unfounded bullshit.

If you wanted to go "LA LA LA I'm not listening I'm right LA LA LA" then why didn't you just say so in the first place and save everyone some time.

Banning tiktok isn't going to do great things for Biden's support among zoomers in november, either.

still cant believe people are actually okay with this, or even encouraging it.
