The number of people doing it makes me feel like it's autocorrect or intentional.

Most of the younger crowd say otherwise, and those are the people President Biden needs to sway to win.
If this is the same crowd that will shoot themselves in the foot by not voting over Tiktok, and claim is doesn't matter who wins because of Tiktok......to then throw on a surprised Pikachu face over things like Roe v Wade and Affirmative Action going to shit, it's not saying much.
Lol all those npc tiktok personalities gonna be filing job applications.

I was gonna say, you say this after they entered the discussion properly for several posts. At least you admitted and deleted. That's all a certain person had to do, really fess up and move on.

I would have legitimately backed off if they did that instead of calling me a liar and trying to say I was the shitposter. I regret derailing the topic as was, but I have a right to defend myself and my posts, so I did.

I won't say anything else on the matter, I just wanted to make myself clear.

If your sister was not on Tic Tok would you care about this bill?
To me it sets a bad precedent. Not only is it a vague reason to ban something but it feels like it was proposed by people that don't even understand the apeal of social media. Having people like that make decisions that could affect the lives of millions is not a good feeling.
They are not banning it because of any social media features. Theyre banning it because the autocratic country that controls it is by far the single biggest source of online piracy and theft of trade secrets.

And clueless people just wander around with it on them 24 hours a day.

It didn't even pass legitimately. It was snuck into the Ukraine aid bill last minute as a poison pill.

Well, here's a post from last year that's quite a bit worse.

Anyway, yeah this is obviously a bad bill based primarily in xenophobia but the scary thing is I'm a lot more concerned about KOSA. The US really seems to want to try to compete with its enemies in becoming a fascist authoritarian state.
Yeah, KOSA is far worse, and one of the Democrat politicians, Dick something (forgot his last name), is trying to get it rushed through.

This should fund Ukraine till Sept of 2025 so no more crap from traitorous Republicans

You honestly think Ukraine won't need more funding until Sep. 2025? Heck, they need more money now .

Or you think... they won't ask for more money until Sep. 2025? I'll be impressed if they don't ask before Sep. of this year!

This bill specifically includes Ukraine funding, which is why it passed in the first place. Republicans purposely attached the Tiktok shit to a bill that included Ukraine funding. I have no comment on how much/how helpful/whatever the funding is, but the entire point is that this bill does actually include funding now . That's how the Tiktok shit got passed in the first place.

Is Tiktok being banned for political reasons more than security ones?
I'd be willing to bet. Republicans get btfo on TikTok, it's a very left leaning platform in general.

Also, seems somewhat convenient that the House rapidly moves to ban TikTok after the groundswell of pro-Palestine sentiment on the platform.

Hey, can we get back on topic? I'm still really pissed at the us government for being so extremely anti American.

Ah yes a hostile foreign country promoting crime, weird conspiracy theories, and sympathy for terrorism is as American as apple pie.

That's what happened a decade ago when Republicans purposely inserted an amendment restricting NASA from cooperating with China's space agency when it comes to space exploration and the ISS, even banning Chinese citizens from NASA buildings and events. How did the Chinese respond? By embarking on their own space program and building their own space station.

It's being used to educate people on... well I suppose it doesn't matter because the US government doesn't want educated people in general.

Tik Tok might be trash, but I can see this backfiring extremely quickly. There are a lot of people that make their living from Tik Tok. So suddenly the US puts out a bill that causes thousands of people to be without work.
It's not a ban it forces bytedance to sell within a year

Or the service is banned in America...

Zero people should support the government telling a private business how to operate. Not TikTok, not Disney, not Fox News.

I mean, if youre American an American company having your data could actually personally affect your life with it. What the hell is bytedance going to do with the average rando lol. People with government sensitive information should be banned from it though and I believe they already are.


Our info is already sold, and let me tell you it sure isn't someone from China blowing up my junkmail, calling me in the middle of the day or spam texting me political bullshit.

I don't even use TicTok, but it can't be worse than the shit companies in the good old USA are already freely doing.

Look selling off the American branch of tiktok isn't a big deal they still control the rest and that's billions they can put into the tiktok every where else

What? This board, you and myself included, is always clamoring about how businesses should do things. More employee rights and compensations, the lies of Fox News needing to be dealt with because they've helped fuck up the country, that sort of shit.
