It's insane how quick they were like yeah let's get rid of tiktok meanwhile serious issues get ignored and the government basically just says skill issue and that's about it it's really grim
tiktok got banned because tiktok was tracking users it was confirmed by journalist which inclined congress to act tiktok employees even told the reporter they were tracking her to see which tiktok employee she was talking too, they even had secret evidence in court that couldnt be revealed to people
Its also funny thats come out within weeks of the ban going into effect that many of the senate holders put money into meta, while also receiving money from Zuckerberg and has been since 2020.
Meta, X, door dash, wish & YouTube all track and gather your data to a greater extent than tiktok did. But all the senators that voted have meta stock and Zuckerberg didn’t want the competition. And the government couldn’t influence the narrative on tiktok.
I mean they're using communist Russia and Nazi Germany methods. Great government the USA voted for guys.
My prediction:
The US will completely collapse within 5 years because you won't have any more elections and Trump will run the country into the ground.
Also they didn’t show the evidence that they were saying that was happening. They even banned marvel snap, CapCut and lemon8. Mainly any app owned by ByteDance
So its already unbanned cause of Trump? Didn't they spend so much time trying to ban the app? Guess its just a "saviour" type of good PR for him...when he far from it.
Honestly I opened it, saw the message thanking Trump, and immediately uninstalled. It's going to either be purchased or put under the control of Zuck/Elon, or is now going to be heavily influenced by the incoming administration and I'm not putting up with any of that.
I haven't been able to shake the overwhelming feeling of hopelessness since November. It's exhausting. This ban is more than just losing TikTok. It's now a giving the go ahead for the fascist to censor more of our access to unbiased information.
I hate it here (plus I'm in FL so it's even worse)
