I think the funniest thing that happens if Trump wins is everyone is all the journalists being forced to make truth social accounts. Then they can ask the worlds oldest president to clarify his new ban on cat ladies and trans people.

If he does win, he will be removed within 2 weeks after inauguration if not sooner. Trump is losing his marbles fast to dementia. Anybody who votes for Trump better love Vance.

Got news for you, their not protecting us from Tik Tok either.

Ok because I see a lot of stupid shit in here, you don't get to talk about banning tiktok if you don't talk about banning Instagram, Reddit, X and YouTube, who use the same formula, with equal fervour.

Now please talk about healthcare, climate crisis, the Palestinian ethnic cleansing by that cancerous, land grabbing, terrorist Israeli state and the shrinking buying power of the people all around the world.

Ok but fuck tik Tok. Ban that shit. This comment is basically saying that banning tik Tok takes the same effort as giving your people healthcare.

The amount of time and money the American government and associated propaganda agencies (they call them news ) have spent on anti TikTok (really just a racist anti China campaign) would definitely have made a huge difference if spent on their social safety net.

Yeah, tik tok is only hastening the collapse of civilization.

Im down with the idea of social media being a threat to citizens for so long as the algorithms optimize for anger.

On the other hand, I'm not sure I'd prefer another "opiate of the masses".

Calling Republicans government...smh

When did they protect us from TikTok? They didn't. Other than that it would be a great point

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (2 children)

They're trying to get it shut down?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 7 months ago

Because its a threat to the military. Take all the time you need with this.

And I hope they succeed. But this has been talked about for 3-4 years now and hasn't happened

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

It’s an actual case now though. They have until Jan 19 to sell US data to a US broker or else Apple and Google have 6 months from that date to remove it from the App Store.
