For sure will go. I haven't been on since I heard it was super censored now. The entire point of tik tok was being able to be you and share about anything.
I wouldn’t say it’s super censored from what I’ve seen, but there’s definitely things that are different. Ppl getting violations for things that don’t make sense definitely is happening, but I go on and still see mostly left content. I’m on like 20% as much as I used to be. The big thing that gives
Me pause and concern personally is that I have been on since mid 2020 and have engaged with only left political content and since it came back I got a don jr post praising trump and a melania thirst trap on my fyp. Something is off.
Yes. This! I am clearly not a republican so tell me why my feed as turned into pro trump everything. I've been very confused. It's very very concerning and scary. I've started using vpns and GPS scrambler on my phone.
Trump has simply said that it’s okay to break the law if you have his permission.
And for some reason millions of people, many of whom don’t like Trump, seem fine with the precedent of the president unilaterally deciding which laws are real and which aren’t.
Hi Nathan, I know all of this, though I still think it’s going to get banned regardless, it was solely a joke. This isn’t why they want tiktok banned, it’s because they don’t want us to collectivize and share information. Trump wanted to act like the hero for propaganda as well. This was just a joke
They banned it because it’s against the national interest to give a genocidal authoritarian global power a direct line into the brains and bedrooms of American teenagers.
I think it’s reasonable to disagree on whether that’s a violation of the 1st Amendment, but it’s certainly a real threat.
Do you have a source for that first claim? Because there are many sects of tiktok and many many people have moved left because of tiktok. Many people have learned about all kinds of things going on in the world because of tiktok. But regardless you’re literally arguing with someone about a joke
Sometimes people make jokes that may be in the political sphere but don’t want to get into a political debate based on said joke. I think it’s pretty obvious an edit of a show is not the actual reason they want to ban TT. I didn’t say that to get into a debate about the actual reasons. I know things
This study was in Germany, but there are studies in the US that showed that greater TikTok use was associated with more far-right views and a greater likelihood to vote for Trump (controlling for other factors like age, obv).

I don’t know what the solution to that is (personally, I support the ban) but it’s definitely a real problem.
The president giving people permission to break the law is an even bigger problem.
