Absurd.

Short of "data leaving the country," all of these accusations Meta, Twitter, Reddit, and even Tumblr are guilty of as well. And the worst any of them got was a slap on the wrist...

tbf with Meta, that was because the guys asking the questions clearly didn't even know how to open a PDF much less how a social network operates, but even still.

those questions were so embarrassing, one of the most cringe things I’ve ever witnessed

Where are the "free speech" defenders on this?

That's dumb.

Naturally would wanna ban an app that provides news from educated individuals that aren’t filtered like conventional media.

Naturally would wanna ban an app from a country that banned all your apps and uses theirs to spy on your citizens

Don’t need china to buy my info, google and meta already do that for me

nikikkoo.bsky.social•355 days ago

google and meta are American companies when tiktok isnt and the government has no idea what China does with your data especially considering the current state the world in

Sorry, could you clarify that please.

What a stupid thing to make a bill about. We have serious real problems and they refuse to fix them. I hope this goes down in flames in the courts if the senate is stupid enough to continue it.

Cancelling our First Amendment Rights to protect Israel from their Genocide.

It looks like the Senate is also likely to take the #TikTokBan bill.

I've never seen Congress addressing child poverty or taking action against #ClimateCrisis this quickly, and don't say it has nothing to do with Gen Z people using this platform to express their support of #FreePalestine.

If TikTok is banned, I expect a return to vaudeville.

nadiabooks.bsky.social•355 days ago

I don't understand why. 😕 And would they go after other apps?

nikikkoo.bsky.social•355 days ago

mostly because it's a Chinese app that spies on their users and i think theyd continue to ban other chinese apps

AIPAC wants to Censor all the Pro Palestine talk on Tik Tok and neither Right Wing Corporate Party likes that they have no Censorship control over Tik Tok so they are just going to Ban it.
