Tiktok is just the window to the larger disease that has infected the west.
In fact, I'd rather keep it as is as a lot of these perverts and pedos self report themselves on there for attention!
I'm guessing the establishment saw how much losing Twitter actually shifted the narrative away from them so are hoping to use Tiktok as the Trojan horse to later control Internet access.
The problem is that they are not getting punished for it. Hell, the current judicial system and presidential administration actively protect them.
True but I'd still like to know where they are at all times
Makes it easier to keep kids away from them, who to avoid in general, making lists for when the pendulum TRULY swings back...
There definitely is that.
essentially, it seems like the US government is using the tiktok ban as a way to shoe horn in legislation that allows the government to ban websites they deem in national security threat. with this legislation passed and properly enforced, this would build a great firewall around the United States.
Yeah no shit
banning the chinese from operating in this country in any capacity is good, but they WILL use this wedge in the door to fuck us.
The House has made it seem like ByteDance have to sell US TikTok to a US company or it will be banned - off to The Senate until then.
I chuckled at how commentators such as Tim Pool and The Quartering believe that the law will exclusively focus on TikTok, they trust the Government to not engage in overreach and that the Government will not do anything to the other thorns in their side, ever.
If they genuinely believe that, Biden has a bridge to sell them.
Except that this time they're fear-mongering about CHY-NA instead of Bad Net Pirates, which seems to be much more effective.
All Chinese software should be banned until American software developers are allowed open access to the Chinese market.
This is targeting Truth Social.
The only reason they are banning it is because zoomers are posting anti-israel stuff
They don't care for the brainrot on that platform, infact they promote it.
tik tok itself is the excuse being used to push this legislation. it has little to do with the app itself.
There wil be no SOPA because tech companies are one and the same with the establishment now. Back then tech companies were rebels who flew pirate flags and warrant canaries.
and this legislation would root the established tech companies. any internet Wild West would now be subject to purging by the US government.
Imagine supporting Chinese spyware in the United States...
tiktok is a wretched hive of scum and degeneracy. That doesn't mean we should allow the US to destroy our Internet.
Imagine the leftists currently in power today given those same rules to use against any website or platform they deem contrary to the best interests of the federal government, meaning them.
This place being one of those websites.
bruh, what did I ever do to you?
Exist.
Aside from all the heresy?
apparently
Yes.
WHO IS THE PURVEYOR OF HERESY????
Shut up jew
Well, I thought you couldn't get any dumber than the original post, but you're a natural.

RUN! It's the wrong type of spyware!
The bill defines "foreign adversary controlled website" as something that can be regulated by the US government. this would give the US government the power to arbitrarily limit and censor almost any website if they claim it is connected to a foreign adversary.
Now think about how many items the US government have claimed have been Russian disinformation.
In effect, establishes a great firewall potentially identical to china.
Do you think this Administration likes Truth Social very much?
