Current Events > House passes tic tok ban bill!

(+) Yeah! (+)

Tik Tok is pretty trash. Good shit,.

And here, we, go...

I hope everyone supporting this understands the precedent this sets.

Another win for the nanny state

Is Tiktok being banned for political reasons more than security ones?

Thats a great bill. I would love to see how they are going to enforce this without looking completely inept at how the internet works.

I mean they are completely inept at how the internet works. They've already proved this numerous times.

Never used the app, but all the Zoomer and Alpha kids are going to be crying.

We still have people assuming the Internet is a fad that will die off sooner or later.

This does set a bad precedent, because it opens the door to censorship of any platforms the government doesn't agree with based on concerns of "nation security", but in this case, well... the platform is a genuine concern for national security. Tiktok is in the pocket of the CCP, no two ways about it. All platforms are of course guilty of harvesting and selling user data, but Tiktok takes that to the nth extreme, infiltrating every other app and message on every device in the hands of millions of Americans every single day. All of this information goes directly to China. They also deliberately censor harmful information about China on the platform, use it to spread propaganda, etc. etc. etc.

Moon has a couple pretty good videos about this on Youtube.

Wow another win for government oppression and censorship with people cheering no less, people continue to prove more and more stupid by the day.

The solution in this bill is literally just keeping the app in its current form, but allowing the US to do the spying instead.

Do not be fooled at the intentions here.

But Chiner!!

Is this really going to solve anything?

Like, best case scenario, TikTok is gone, but the only thing that changes is there's incentive for Youtube, Instagram, Facebook, etc... to push their shitty short video products even harder because there's now this huge hole in the market.

How much extra effort is it really going to be for China or Russia or wherever to get all this data from Google or Meta, given that same data is literally what they sell?

Most of the younger crowd say otherwise, and those are the people President Biden needs to sway to win.

Democrats love losing.

o. I'd like that to be the case but you don't see this happening to any other social media company and they all deserve it to a degree.

Anyway I think the ban of TikTok is a step in the right direction, with tiktok specifically being owned by an enemy of the US.

Regardless of what you think about TikTok this is not a good precedent to set.

Finally a glimmer of hope for our children to go outside again!

But a racist South African who is propping up the Republican party is okay to run Twitter ?
