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.
Ye best start believing in social media sites. Yer in one.

How do you figure? Theres another thread indicating that SCOTUS is opposed to the ban. (Im not following the story directly myself.)I'd chock that up to the US military being largely conservative, but who knows.
Ive said this before, but I continue to think this case is more nuanced than some users are allowing. The US military prohibits TikTok - and only TikTok - of all the platforms. I figure they know more than I do about why TikTok is a national security risk.
People hate fun. Can't wait for the American version full of right wing propaganda!We already have reels
We already have reelstiktok at home
The epoch of recording oneself consuming tide pods, or cinnamon, or pepper is coming to an endlmao pretending to eat tide pods and eating cinnamon are both trends from BEFORE tik tok was popular, and I don't think eating proper (like black pepper) has ever been a trend. So that just shows how grossly misinformed you are.
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.So glad to finally see more posts calling this out. People genuinely act like tiktok is the root of all evil and destroying our youth
Is it going away in the whole world or just in America?
Deadass had a recommended video talking about "Green flags in the girls you date". There was quite a few red flags in the video itself (And indeed "Doesn't social media often" and "Doesnt have TikTok" were seprate entries for some reason).Youtube racism and other shit is so absurdly easy to find.
All doubt of what the person who made the video was about vanished when I saw them heart a comment that stated that a girl with a swastika tattoo was a 'green' flag.
(Especially when lack of tattoos or piercings was listed as a positive in the video)
So umm... shit like that is super easy to find on YouTube, not sure why people think TikTok being singled out is an overall positive.
The fight that people are okay with here blows me mind. We have Right wing fascist controlling all of the major social media network out there. And the ONE that was close to leaning to the left. Democrats help to kill. How is this a good thing, like at all.Don't act like people are just okay with TikTok going away. People here want all of it to crash and burn; the subject matter of today is just TikTok.
I really don't understand why CE keeps cheering the attempts to ban Tik Tok. Losing one of the largest social media platforms is going to hurt, more than it helps. Yes, there's lot of stupid shit on there, but there's also a lot of really informative videos on there as well. The government banning any social media platform seems like a step in the wrong direction. If the platform is bad, then let the users kill it.Its not about the content. The military doesnt care about that. Its about the site owners and the threat to national security.

It's about the site owners and the threat to national security.
Its about the site owners and the threat to national security.No it's not

Its not about the content. The military doesnt care about that. Its about the site owners and the threat to national security.remember when Musk was in contact with Putin that came out not long ago

Democrats help to kill. How is this a good thing, like at all.The left in TikTok were already condemning Democrats to begin with.
The whole outcry for Tiktok's ban started as retaliation for Tiktok users buying up tickets for Trump's Arizona rally at the height of Covid19 in order to keep the event empty. Democrats hopping onboard the ban call just screams of triangulation. I've seen no good reason why Tiktok deserves more scrutiny than any other social media platform.It's getting banned because they wouldn't censor Israel warcrimes. Multiple senators stated this.

Does this have another meaning I'm unaware of, or an autocorrect sort of thing?In a political context, triangulation essentially boils down to sacrificing your political alignment's radicals in an effort to win over the opposition's moderates.

It's super cool when a few billionaires monopolize all popular forms of communication, that's a real good for society, we should all be super hyped
Good. This should have happened when it began to popularize harassing service workers and humiliating them online. Lo and behold, nobody wants to work in the industry now. I wonder whyyou think the only reason people dont want to work in service is solely because tiktok
you think the only reason people dont want to work in service is solely because tiktokno, but it didnt help
dawg come on
This is going to sound nasty, but it basically made 3/4 of the worlds NPCs have MC syndrome. Everyone acts like they need special treatment and has a massively inflated ego for recording a harassment video or some stupid dance routine.You think there weren't people who demanded special treatment and to be catered to before TikTok? Have you ever worked food service or retail?

This doesn't surprise me. Do you have some direct quotes, or maybe a video supercut of our godawful congress trying to bury Israel's genocidal behavior this way?
