we’ll see, that way when your kid shoots up a school, you (the parent) can’t be arrested for giving a child gun access. that’s what come to my mind, at least.
An Ohio toddler shot his pregnant mother with a loaded pistol that was lying around.
Someday he’ll be told he killed his mom and baby brother.
What will that do to his life?
A second loaded gun was found in the house.
When it's still not proven any joe blow citizen do have a right to carry a gun on the streets. With out permission. I still believe the 2nd Ammendment only pertained to a ready formed militia. So these citizens could br called to arms and they were already armed. Once our country decided we no
longer needed a militia. The 2nd Ammendment were no longer valid. It existed as an Ammendment that were written but hold no legality. Unless the there's a requirement to form a militia. Just my opinion.
Sounds like an Onion headline. I carried a rifle as a toddler while on hunting trips with my grandfather, but I don't think that's quite the same as open carry.
All TikTok has to do is sell it to an American company. For National Security reasons, the Chinese Government cannot have access to 170 million Americans phone data. That is a requirement in China if you have a company there. They get access to everything. SCOTUS will uphold this ban & they should.
I'm in MO & have been to several first birthday parties where the child has been gifted a rifle. Can't even walk yet, but yeah - let's arm the kid. My jaw hit the floor the first time I witnessed that.
Vanity Fair 🤣🤣🤣🤣🏆. If there is a way for VF to gaslight or misrepresent the facts, they will. MO doesn’t have an age restriction (like it or not) so stating toddlers will carry guns is just plain ‘Democrat-stupid’.
Toddlers with this newfound responsibility don’t seem to be killing anyone in your state. It appears Missouri does nothing to address it’s history of oppression and systemic racism. So what do you expect?
I don't know legality or morality of a TikTok ban. But I know people who literally scroll through that all day when they are not working. They're zombies. They're not the same people they were before TT. So, I'm kind of ok with banning it. Frightening how much this has altered some of my friends.
Thankfully, American kids can't get their hands on Kinder Eggs. Here in Canada, we have a big problem with Kinder Eggs. Zero kids have been killed by them.
Our government banned Tiktok out of fear of the people. They don't want us talking about Gaza, China or anything that they think might hamper their efforts to do what they want and ignore the will of the people.
Governments aren’t the problem. It’s the shit-for-brains idiots We The People hire to run them that’s the major obstacle. We’ve hired a spiteful brain-dead 80yo toddler who will put his cult in place to destroy our democracy.
LA needs massive help they won’t get unless we all demand it.
I'm sorry, those have absolutely nothing to do with each other. True, Gun Laws in this country suck. That has nothing to do with Cina's ability to track us, or our kids.
republican kids carry rifles so when the republicans want to intimidate the non gun carrying citizens those kids will have no concern when shooting anyone or anything on command
they have been training to take over everything for decades
Donald Trump got elected because of social media and then Covid killed 1 million Americans because he didn't want to wear a mask since it might smudge his face bronzer and a bunch of morons watched a viral video about how vaccines are dangerous...
When I was in 2nd or 3rd grade Reagan was shot. Assault weapons banned. For life of me I cannot understand why our politicians are so afraid to ban guns when gun violence is the leading cause of death for US children. It’s so frustrating and foolish. And yet for a portion of our country they
Because the NRA floods K Street with money and the NRA has become an evil organization that most likely receives funds from foreign governments along with facilitating a Russian spy having access to the highest offices in our government.
TikTok is being banned for 4 reasons. 1- people are sharing information and organizing on that platform. 2- Illegal immigrant and pro-fascist disinformation pimp elon musk. 3- Pro-fascist disinformation pimp mark zuckerfuck. 4- Dirty Diaper Draft Dodger Dumbo Donny Turd Trousered Treason Trump.
* banning Tick Tock, because it refuses to give the security services blanket access to user data.
Case by case , warrant by warrant . The initial evidence has to include a copy of the alleged video etc. The Chinese protect our data better than Twatter..
Thank goodness the government is protecting us from the deadly threat of *dancing videos* while preschoolers can roam the streets armed like they’re auditioning for The Walking Dead.
I'd like to see the "study" showing TikTok is a danger to America's security. If the only evidence is government workers may have TikTok on their phones, there is ways to fix that.
China has been making many of our medicines for years or countries you have never heard of. Fined and move on. And you are taking 4-5 ——-B/p meds or your pain not controlled or diabetics. Check the manufacturer and look it up
That snake (or should I say Shark!), Kevin O'Leary is trying to purchase Tick Tok in America. That is why he kissed Trump's ass in a recent visit, so he could support making Canada the "51st State". O'Leary wants Trump's support in his buy out of Tik Tok. O'Leary WAS Canadian. Now he is a traitor.
It's all about control of the younger generation! Otherwise they would be concerned about all free applications that do the same exact thing. If they don't sell your information they have no way to generate income unless they're offering services🤨. They don't know who it's being sold to.
Plenty of democrat legislators voted to ban TikTok. Greg Swallwell for example was very popular on TikTok, giving everyone hope for the future, then he voted for the ban along with many others. “I saw information that the public doesn’t have access to, that I believe is a threat 2national security.”
Exactly. I used to love it, but the way TikTok is right now is horrible. It’s unsafe, the level of actual death and rape threats are allowed to stay posted, the racism and literal Nazism they have recently begun to promote, it deserves the ban. But I think Trump will save it bc of the moderation.
Banning TikTok while allowing an orange imbecile with dementia run the company. He’s not allowed to own a firearm but he has the nuclear codes. I guess it makes sense to his cult. This country is going downhill with 100 mph winds at its back on fire. And he loves it.
It's okay. They're only going to "ban" it long enough to drive the price down to where one of the MAGA-approved Billionaire Oligarchs can snatch it up at a nice price.
Our government will ban TikTok because Musk/Twitter & Zuckerburg/Meta want it banned. This is a business decision not a moral decision. Just more misinformation from Trump/MAGA/Republicans.
You say this regurgitated stuff and you just sound like an idiot.
FYI 2/3 of the technology people use is made in China.
The real reason they are banning TikTok is because the Pro Israel Lobby asked for it since TikTok is where their lies about killing innocents in Gaza are shown to the world.
That’s what they want you to believe. More misinformation. A “weapon of hostility”. Some say it is a way to bring the people, young & old, of both countries together to stop the political oligarch dominance.
Nope, though that could well change under Sleazy Don³⁴ the fash. There are already fascist propaganda outlets in the US but they could well become official state outlets in the next few weeks. That's what happened in Russia.
They don't believe gins are harmful, but TikTok is. They say it is people behind the guns that are harmful, not guns themselves. What exactly makes TikTok harmful? Can't you trust the sqme people tomake those decisions?
Sometimes I'm jealous of Christians. I'd love to believe these people are going to burn for eternity in some dystopian hellscape of their own creation. On the up side, I don't need to forgive them, so that's something.
It's hard to define what an American is these days... I mean, without a gun. If it is under age, white and pregnant, preferably male, and Christian, then it's American. I think. You don't have to be Christian, you can just say Jesus. That covers it.
LATE BREAKING NEWS ... 'toddler armed with an AR-15 assault rifle equipped with a bumpstock opened fire at his preschool ... 15 toddlers are dead at scene along with 3 teachers and a kitchen attendant' ... details at 11:00
It's a problem because communist china is going out of its way on tiktok to poison the minds of youth in America. There's a follower of yours who commented here that tiktok repeatedly tried to get her to commit suicide. china kids TikTok ain't like that. china considers the #USA their enemy, at war.
My college students can carry a handgun to my class - they can hide it or put it on their desk. But they won't be able to post a Tik Tok about it. This is not a win.
Or as in Arkansas;
Kids under 16 can work in meat packing plants (very dangerous) w/o the need for work permit or parental approval.
Such protection of the young by the "pro life" party.

Trying to catch up to MS for fun deaths I see. That’s insane but we do need to get rid of TikTok & be more careful about the information our adversaries collect from us, too. They aren’t mutually exclusive things.
How could I forget Fox? It’s America’s equivalent of Putin’s own propaganda machine- Russia Today. Fox indoctrinated my elderly mother- she became a maga.
Musk and Zuckerberg are the ones to blame. While I know most will not, if they ban TikTok, people need to walk away from Meta, and X, by doing so, is saying they don't win. I hate promoting other sites I know little about, but Clapper seems to be like TikTok; this app is replacing X.
No one has ever said government has common sense. MAGA doesn’t care about it anyway and them seem to have the upper hand for the time being. Things should change when TSHTF.
Be honest, a lot of those posts contained disinformation specifically geared to turn left leaning voters against the Democratic party. It was a very successful psyop.
One is owned by a guy from South Africa and the other is owned by a guy from Australia.
But I do find your notion of borders quaint.
A foreign government that has contributed more than Big Pharma to congress and the president wants us to shut down TikTok. (AIPAC)
Yes, and Musk lied when applying for citizenship and should have that citizenship stripped and all of his assets seized. I'm also against someone like Murdoch being allowed that much control over our information media. Neither negates the fact that Tik Tok deserves to be banned.
I know! No more hiding the agenda. It is about controlling the information. As soon as TikTok is owned by his MAGA buddy the new regime will be fine with it and dictate terms like they are with X and Meta.
For those that think TikTok is safe. I work in big tech and we and other companies banned installing it on our work computers years ago. We did that for a reason.
The GOP intentionally blocks all common sense gun laws every child that dies from preventable gun violence is a blood sacrifice to their god. Gunpowder is their incense and public schools the killing altar.
It’s not for our safety, Jess. It’s for theirs. But I still think Trump will save it. The moderation over there is so pro-Trump is obvious they are lobbying him hard.
I actually think banning TikTok is one step closer to banning twitter then Meta. And I don’t think that’s a bad thing. Kids don’t need social media, we don’t need social media. We need a strong free press not owned by oligarchs.
Basically a ploy to allow a sycophant to purchase it. TikTok is a major information source for a large group of people. Now, toddlers and guns… I got no logic to that one.
Me, I don't give a crap about any social platform. They all cause suffering, some less than others. If China can use TikTok against US national security, then the hell with them. Why is a less-than-2 minute moment of mindless video more important than US security?
2 min of mindless video? Maybe you should use the app before criticizing. There are strong communities there. I use it as a news source, fitness/nutrition advice, how to videos, etc. There’s no single source that can replace it for me.
I'm not criticizing. I'm saying I believe the government when it says TikTok can be used by China for political purposes that affect national security. Why do Americans believe their individual pleasures are more important than natl security?
This is the time you believe the government?
Our country was sold to Elon Musk, and I would like to continue learning how to make sourdough bread on TikTok.
1. US gov has been having this problem for years.
2. All sides, high & low agree.
3. Elon Musk is irrelevant.
4. You can learn to make sourdough bread on any cooking app.
& no. I am not an anarchist who finds it hard to trust govt when its run by serious people.
What Zuck has been doing allowing misinformation to spread and Musk literally throttling the truth and spreading lies is far worse than what might be happening on TikTok.
If Don posts any of his dance moves on TikTok then for all our sakes ban it but only the USA believes in a right to bear arms. And as for toddlers bearing arms 🤦♂️ what could possibly go wrong

Surely they can't be any better than TikTok.

we are still lamenting biden losing
#gunsareacancer
Social media is far more dangerous than guns are (which just goes to show how fucked it is).
Guns are the #1 cause of death.
Social media is an absolute menace to the world.
The entire GQP needs to be impeached.

We will just contact ByteDance directly and Americans can secretly update the app on a 3rd party APK download.
We don't need Apple or Google. Just some devs in communication w Byte.

I’m sure that’s not really the reason it’s getting banned. I’m sure the real reason is that US businesses want it banned.
But it’s also true that it’s a national security liability.
TikTok is still a problem.
But yes, hardening infrastructure is too. They’re just different axis of threats. They’re not exclusive.
I understand the threat, but don't see why China should be singled out. Seems to be a part of politics now.
Everybody's doin' it doin' it...

Yes.
