TikTok was a lot more than just "Cringe," so much of the site was content that only existed to be completely hurtful to a lot of people or just straight up dangerous. I've seen enough videos on there about people faking disorders or other awful things to know how bad the people on there were

if websites like twitter and kiwifarms are aloud to stay up in-spite all the bullshit they've done so should tiktok who has done no worse then any other american social media company has done

It’s a plague on pop culture and media criticism in general. Is banning outright extreme and kinda not needed? Yes. But I won’t be sorry it’s gone. The owners had every chance to meet demands and they clearly refused. All because they didn’t wanna remove friggen spyware.

muscleman123.bsky.social•42 days ago

its not about protecting citizens from spyware its about control, american social media companies literally do the same exact thing and recieve no punishment

movielord101.bsky.social•42 days ago

Fair point. Either way, TikTok is just a bad service anyway.

muscleman123.bsky.social•42 days ago

objectively so, but that doesnt mean it should be banned for doing the same thing every other social media company has done and not bending the knee

movielord101.bsky.social•42 days ago

Either way, I won’t miss it

muscleman123.bsky.social•42 days ago

good for you, your personal feelings toward tiktok adds nothing to the discussion at hand

TikTok was a godawful website. It's a big indication of what's wrong with the human race, just people making stupid and potentially dangerous videos just for clicks. Get rid of this, get rid of Twitter and Facebook too, that's a big step to becoming a civil semi-intelligent species again...

I'm not. Because I believe in freedom.

What do you mean by OUR generation?

It is fine, it spreads more conspiracy theories, gossip, and lies more than any other app! Not to mention, it spreads really bad trends! It’s too bad I’m Canadian, so I can’t experience this ban!

sem4official.bsky.social•42 days ago

Yeah, like, I don't use TikTok myself for different reasons, but even this is insane

tfurstman.bsky.social•42 days ago

They should have banned X or Facebook tbh.

They forgot that Facebook, Instagram and Twitter have their own "cringe", if not worse.
