i think it was moreso that it was very obviously an unpopular policy but democrats (as always) were too spineless to challenge it, so the republicans get to take credit for walking it back even though they caused the situation in the first place. this shit happens every 4 to 8 years
the republican playbook is to do as much evil shit as possible, but to ensure that it only goes into effect during democrat presidencies so that it looks like the democrat's fault to stupid people who weren't paying attention. the democrat playbook is to sit pretty and only speak when spoken to
Trump was literally the one that spearheaded the whole thing and then once he had control then hes like "no no no I didn't enforce the ban who would want to ban tiktok" like YOU motherfucker YOU were the one advocating for it.
It was unfortunately predictable how a bunch of leftists are capitulating to Trump by giving him credit for allowing TikTok to continue operation (he was the first person to propose the ban in 2020).
it's the exact same thing as doomscrolling on reddit, twitter, youtube, insta, etc... Saying "le tiktok bad" is just boomer thoughts. It's the addiction and brainrot that is bad, and you can find it everywhere.
That's like saying "the drug dealers aren't bad. It's the drug"
All social media is bad
I barely go on here and it's the only "social media" I have. I just use it for art
hmmm fair point
but in these kind of social media, it's mostly the users who define how brainrot is the media, not the owner like on TV.
there is a lot of dumb posts, but it's like twitter. it's full of toxic peoples and degenerates
God if that ain't the truth
Beyond the brain rot, the thing that made me delete all social, besides the time waster, is that it was just making me mad. Like I would have never been mad or known these morons had these horrible opinions if it wasn't for social media
if social media makes you mad, you are a part of the problem. if you think "people have horrible opinions", you need to take a chill pill, you are hurting yourself over nothing
And it will work. Bread and circuses for all, and they'll quietly sell it to Meta or something and further centralize it into the RIGHT rich people's hands.
