Pretty sure this is just privacy washing. The real issue here is censorship.

I mean you are not wrong. One pest less is an absolute win im my books though.
honestly, i just don't really care, unless you want to try and argue first amendment, i think that's the only realistic outcome here.
Europe should ban Facebook for national security reasons, and TikTok too.
Europe should be prepared to ban Facebook and currently ban tiktok. American companies aren't the same type of threat. Europe can reliably get them to follow their legislation.
When it comes to the intelligence aspect. America will share it's intelligence and intelligence capabilities with most of Europe. Even when it doesn't, it's intended outcomes are aligned with Europe.
America supports Europes defence and economy substantially. In both things they are generally aligned. China doesn't. It's hostile to Europe and the US. China frequently performs industrial sabotage and theft against Europe and the US.
Europe should be challenging Facebook more, but the problems with Facebook are the same issue US citizens face. Europe can trust that the American government and Facebook to follow it's laws in Europe. Regulations don't matter to tiktok, it exists as part of the state apparatus. It will only ever feign compliance.
Agreed.
Way more people than I would have expected in here - a social media site who's entire purpose is to be free from corporate ownership and control - upset this meme is too soft on China, instead of in agreement that legislators should be addressing the entire social media platform market (and china's platform with it)
You know what? Good. Fuck China. Fuck the CCP. Fuck TikTok. My country borders China and has active territorial disputes with it. When I last went on Facebook I saw people from my country reposting TikTok content from China. They actually fucking support China in all of its territorial disputes, they think that China is the greatest country in the world and they want it to have the nine dash line basically. Really? Supporting a totalian regime, a hostile foreign power? Really?
Yes, 100%.
There are way too many fucking tankies on this platform and they need to be reminded of this.
If I download that app I am not doing it because I endorse any of the policies of the Mainland Taiwan I am doing it I want to get content.
How to say you don’t understand without saying you don’t understand
For a second there I thought this was about Mike Johnson.
Heyoooooooo!
Man the fuck is up with the amount of pro-Chinese-Dictatorship memes?
Fuck the CCP, all my homies hate the CCP! Some other unethical asshole can buy TikTok and it'll still be an improvement.
Yes and fuck tankies. They're all over this platform.
This isn't one of them...
It's mocking the USA's move to make ByteDance sell the platform and no longer operate TikTok as a shell company for the Chinese Military.
The only flag that appears in the image is the US flag. The only logos that appear are from american companies.
Your interpretation is a stretch at best.
Read the caption above the image.
Look at the image below the caption.
Lmao, you're literally advocating censorship and ignorance. China trains their dogs well.
I'm advocating you learn to interpret texts by taking note of what it says rather than what you wish it said.
I do not, nor have I ever advocated censorship. You made that up.
What if I hate the CCP more than I hate social media companies, and I think all of them need to be taken down a peg but our government is too chicken shit to do that.
Eww, sanity!
It's funny. Laugh. F the CCP
