TikTok Ban: House Passes Bill That Would Outlaw App in U.S. Unless Its Chinese Parent Sells Ownership Stake

I’m not kidding. This will make Gen-Zers vote for Trump. All he has to say is he’ll reverse the ban. He’s already announced that he opposes this bill and that this only supports Facebook.

Biden and the Democrats are so fucking insane. I do not understand it. They want to lose all support with every fucking base they have.

I’ll never stop being on TikTok.

  • What the company should do is just shut down before it allows itself to be a tool of US only propaganda or subject to Bobby Kotick playing Elon Musk and nazifying the app.

    Make a last public post and an opportunity for people to download their archives. Then roast the fuck out of the fascist investor class butthurt they couldn't have absolute control, despite the fact the NSA copies like every bit that flows through the net.

    • Even if amerika bans it, you could still download the apk, no? Doesn't a "ban" just mean you can't get it on the play store/ apple store?

      • Yes. Google and Apple are subjects of the NSA and certain Orwellian laws. Then you have things like Telegram banning RT because US media couldn't compete with "adversary media" and I couldn't get RT channels even through a VPN and Tor. ISPs can be ordered to block traffic to and from TikTok servers.
