a few years ago i was firmly in the "ban TT in the interest of national security". but at this point i think i trust CCP more than Musk, Zuck, Bezos, etc, because the CCP is at least playing the long game. those other guys don't give a flying fuck what happens to the world once they're gone
The epoch of recording oneself consuming tide pods, or cinnamon, or pepper is coming to an end
The epoch of recording oneself consuming tide pods, or cinnamon, or pepper is coming to an endThey'll still do all those things tho
no, it will just move somewhere else and be controlled by Musk or Zuck100%
The epoch of recording oneself consuming tide pods, or cinnamon, or pepper is coming to an endYeah, the one good thing about Tik Tok is it helped cleanse the gene pool.
This feels like a "Right result for the wrong reason" scenario.
So who are the TikTok addicts going to blame?The Democrats of course.
I feel like I see this headline annually and nothing ever actually happens. What makes it so different this time?Case is in the Supreme Court right now arguing whether to delay the order to divest or close by January 19th.
So who are the TikTok addicts going to blame?Is this a Trump/Republican thing?
CE is being extremely boomerish on this. This has nothing to do with protecting the youth or Instagram would also be on the chopping block. This is a combination of security state stuff, cold war stuff, anti-youth stuff, anti-left leaning information stuff, and a play for potential right-wing control of yet another major media outlet. It's nothing to be cheered. This isn't the regulation of social media and accountability you're looking for, far from it.Yeah but someone did something stupid on tiktok and someone emulated it unlike when I was a kid and no one did anything stupid and someone else emulated them.

Especially in a time where twitter, fb/ig and whatever else social medias are being taken over by alt-right freaks and anti-freedom of speech creeps
Anyone who thinks it's nothing but dance crazes or challenges has a very one-dimensional view of TikTok's userbase. There's probably more people on the app criticizing the dumb BS that goes viral than there are people doing it.
This. My feed is always full of interesting and educational shit along with political commentary, real-time reporting of breaking news coming from real people and not some media filter, DIY home repair stuff, and then the occasional dumb 12 year old doing an even dumber dance slips through the cracks.I don't even use Tiktok but the people who hate it have huge Tipper Gore crusading against video games vibes.
Reels is basically the exact same thing but I prefer the UI of TikTok and it's gonna suck rebuilding my algorithm >_>

That's what is really important, obviously.

Millions of children about to lose their favorite toy because a bunch of old white congressmen decided to Batfleck the shit out of TikTok and say if theres even a one percent chance the Chinese government can abuse it we must treat it as an absolute certainty. And the people who claim to hate government stupidity on CE cheer.
CE is being extremely zoomerish on this. This has everything to do with protecting the youth and Instagram should also be on the chopping block. This is a combination of anti-brainrot stuff, pro-youth stuff, anti-prank stuff, stopping stupid "challenge" stuff and a play for the potential normalcy of society. It's everything to be cheered. This is the regulation of social media and accountability you're looking for, near to it.
I'd love to see the % of people who treat TikTok as the worst thing ever that still uses Twitter/has a Twitter account.Or to the people who hate on social media while being ignorant of anyplace on the internet where people gather and interact is the same as any social media site.
what?idk man, I'm trying to be clever and post the inverse of what that boomer guy said >_> Throw me a bone here
protecting them from...pranks?
from...brainrot?
excuse me but I didn't know youtube was being banned

He's copying post 23.If you throw enough shit at the wall, eventually some of it will stick >_>
It's a bad attempt at a joke.
This is a combination of anti-brainrot stuff, pro-youth stuff, anti-prank stuff, stopping stupid "challenge" stuff and a play for the potential normalcy of society.Literally all of those things are still going to happen. Admit it Neon you've turned into the moral crusaders of the 90s there's no difference between yourself and Tipper Gore down to blaming the youth doing stupid and harmful things on a medium you don't understand or engage in.

The epoch of recording oneself consuming tide pods, or cinnamon, or pepper is coming to an endThis was always going to happen.
but seriously if we assume Trump doesn't become a dictator this is stupid move politicallyIf we're using that metaphor, this would be the equivalent of one console manufacturer closing up shop and everybody just moving to another platform. If Tik Tok ceases to exist it's not like there's going to be chaos in the streets and zoomers/gen alpha losing their minds. They'll just move towards YouTube Shorts or Instagram Reels.
tiktok is to gen z what video games are to millennials and we know how pissed off we got everytime they said "ban games it makes shooters!"
