I wish but seriously the dumbest shit ever. China is not spying on your oafish american ass they literally could care less.
It’s not about spying it’s about corporate theft. US can’t stomach the next big growth platform being owned by a Chinese company. A TikTok ban is a gift to meta/google as it would basically force a fire sale of that division and nobody else would have the capital to buy it.
If they pass the ban the Chinese gov should buy it from douyin and shut it down. The salt would pour freely
Literally just banning it so now China has to pay Facebook a nominal fee for the data.
I genuinely hope this causes young people to radicalize. They've been asking for a decade for somebody to do something about them being murdered by the dozens in school and after doing nothing they're going to ban the social media site young people use after allowing Facebook to do the same thing the whole time under the guise of "protecting children".
It'd be hard to come up with a more effective way to tell them electing dems doesn't accomplish anything good.
"concerned citizens are contacting their representatives to not ban tiktok. This is a clear indicator that they are addicted and being manipulated, so we must ban tiktok"
What prevents the intelligence apparatus from controlling tiktok content the same way they control ig/fb/twitter's content? It seems to me that they're very concerned with tiktok's ability to influence public opinion (ex: Gaza), which is part of why they want it banned.

The BBC coverage of this is insane. Tiktok is uniquely hypnotic and the youth of today are experiencing reefer madness from this foreign seducer:
Staffers to other lawmakers on both sides of the aisle also reported hundreds of calls to their offices, from app users young and old, who did not have a clear idea of either who or why they were calling.
A spokesperson for Dusty Johnson told the BBC his office had received calls from people who were very upset, as well as "some people who are asking kindly if TikTok is going to be banned, and some have said TikTok wouldn't let them on the app without calling their [representative]".
"I am deeply troubled by reports of young people calling Congress, threatening to commit suicide or otherwise harm themselves," Mr Torres said in a statement to the BBC.
"The iron grip that TikTok has on the minds of young people is a profound public health hazard."
Callers range from teenagers to the elderly, and most are "really confused and are calling because 'TikTok told me to'", one Republican staffer revealed.
Florida Congressman Neal Dunn's office told the BBC it has received more than 900 calls from TikTokers, "many of which were vulnerable school-aged children"
The cold war is back baby!
Critical support to the geriatric US government in the fight against the internet
The closest thing we have had to free speech in a while so the of course the government hates it.
(2018 Joe Biden)Former Vice President Joe Biden pushed back this week on millennials who say they have it tough, saying he does not sympathize with them.
“The younger generation now tells me how tough things are. Give me a break. No, no, I have no empathy for it. Give me a break,” Biden, 75, told The Los Angeles Times earlier this week.
“Because here’s the deal guys, we decided we were gonna change the world. And we did. We did. We finished the civil rights movement in the first stage. The women’s movement came to be,” he continued.
Then he became the President and Roe v Wade was overturned and wants to ban a social media platform mostly used by people younger then 40.
Yankee slavers and genociders can't compete on their own merits and have to lock it down to try and prop their crumbling fiefdom up another year
China is not spying on your oafish american ass they literally could care less.
wish they wereCool zoomers to the US congress:
They literally could care less
So they do care somewhat.
Zoomers tend to be more lethal. They’ve trained all their lives since kindergarten
Zoomers getting real close to their Battleship Potemkin moment.
Comrade Uncommitted gonna clean sweep in November
had to have high high hopes for a minute
Idk about the ban fully going through by election time, if you so, GenA and GenZ I have faith in you. Seriously though, it'll probably get sold to a shell company or delayed in court until right after the election or something similar.
lmao douyin should do some reverse 蛮夷入关 cyberjudo shit and roll out the red carpet for all tiktok refugees
Just FYI Trump also tried to ban Tiktok.
Also with escalating tensions between the US and China, it's really not crazy to consider banning it. It is a disinformation and data mining platform and there is cause to believe that it is hostile.
For the record I also support banning X, Meta and even Reddit. Fuck all of these companies.
