My problem with banning TikTok is that it's not because it's an app that harvests data and causes psychological and social harm, but that we're banning it because it's not an American app that harvests data and causes psychological and social harm.

It’s all pretend. The US government already controls TikTok. The targeting of TikTok only serves to further entrench the anti-China narrative pushed by the ruling class to manufacture consent for war.

China are doing fine at that all by themselves don’t worry.

knfrmity ,

Only in the imaginary world of US empire propagandists.

Lmaydev ,

Nope we watched them take HK.

We remember Tiananmen Square.

We see what they are trying to do to Taiwan.

Talk about empire lol

knfrmity ,

A colony returned to its rightful historical people.

A student protest movement coopted by foreign capitalists which led to police being killed.

An island which has always been closely linked to the mainland.

If you’re interested in what empire actually is, please read about imperialism and not the latest western capitalist creation.

Not American.

I’m not against regulation of social media such as TikTok, not because of any percieved foreign control of the narrative, but rather simply because of its harm on individuals (addiction, toxicity, dysmorphia, surveillance capitalism, to name a few things).

I’d like to see regulations that put consumer protections and enforcement in place that take away the concerns that everyone has with tiktok but any other social media is too.

But you know just banning the app will totally work and there won’t be any other apps that do the same thing /s

Destroy all of them. We don’t need social media. Keep our opinions to ourselves like the old days.

Lmaydev ,

Okay, back to bed grandpa.

social media is one of the first places where closeted queer kids can be themselves and meet a community of people. social media is important for them we just need one free of disinformation and toxicity

I know this is in poor taste but if your argument is less than 1% of the population gains from it then their is no argument for destroying it. Cons outweigh the pros.
