pretty sure it's just federal employees; and only on work devices. which really shouldn't have any social media on them in the first place

Right now it's just for government devices but the push is to have it banned entirely.

I'm convinced most of it just amounts to "new thing bad", and also generalizing the toxic or stupid shit that goes viral on it, which makes up a very small percentage.

Even if it wasn't from China, we would still be hearing the same social media complaints ITT about it.

Yep

it happens with everything that comes out and appeals to the current 'adolescence - young adult' generation

immediately people are too quick to forget how frustrated they were when older people did the same thing to them and what they were interested in

nah, tiktok not being tied down to major western corporate interests is actually a huge reason why its been a fantastic tool for getting information and truth out into the world that would otherwise be covered up

it being owned by the CCP means inherently means some things are already covered up. Any data tied to China is already compromised

Banning TikTok doesn't really fix the problem. It's like if your solution to overflowing your septic tank was to just spray febreze everywhere.

yeah, the CCP is going to do some real damage with all those Tik Tokkers info lol...seriosly tho, what do you think they'd do other then try and sell them shit or sell their info to other people like American companies already do?

one will try to sell you things and the other will try to send people to prison and control the public. get the fuck out with your strawman "only republicans are concerned about the data security threat the CCP poses". you're far more right-leaning than i'll ever be and thats a promise

Speaking of strawman, how exactly will the CCP send Americans to prison? I'd love to know this >_>
