Psyduck 1,706 Posted April 24, 2024 Share Posted April 24, 2024 Should have addressed the misinformation cause by Tiktok rather than directly banning it and this CEO saying make a video on how tiktok impacted your life LOL. The misinformation (in which you guys have done nothing ab) already affected an entire country. Your platform help one of the most corrupted political family in the world be the president of a country. keep on looking for Psyduck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

China banned IG/YouTube/FB and Google services yet they still spread misinformation and forced censorship when their wrongdoings were called out. Like, hello? Honestly this makes sense. This is probably a revenge ban. This country is crazy. he/him/his Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronk 14,930 Posted April 24, 2024 Share Posted April 24, 2024 I don't think lawmakers are actually looking for a ban. They are hoping the threat of a ban will get ByteDance to divest TikTok. Imo it will probably work, but it's quite a gamble. I live outside the space time continuum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helxig 45,336 Posted April 25, 2024 Share Posted April 25, 2024 Holy sh.it. I think a lot of people don't realise how huge this is if it happens. This is going to kick 170million people off the app And not only that, TikTok is currently a main hub for people to get a window into the rest of the world, and America historically likes to keep their people disconnected and patriotic.. I can't help but think it's on purpose. I feel like the past few years Americans have been waking up to the fact their country isn't so great in a lot of ways like they were brainwashed to believe And look at Meta and Google and even Twitter. They all gather and sell just as much data.. except they're American This isn't about security, it's about money, power and control. There's a lot of politics involved in a form of media that 170million citizens (over half their population) are consuming consistently I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin.

Helxig 45,336 Posted April 25, 2024 Share Posted April 25, 2024 Oh and one more thing.. if it goes through people will hold it against Joe and I fear it will push more people towards Trump or other candidates and ultimately help Trump win. Which is even more of loss than losing the app itself, because it's actually dangerous with huge implications for not just the US but the rest of the world I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin.

MILITARY AID IN A GENOCIDE Like 2/3rds of the $95 billion this bill provides is going to Ukraine to fight back against Russia. Some is going to Taiwan to fortify them against China. And yeah, defensive aid is going to Israel to protect it incase of another Hamas or Iran attack. As far as I can tell, most of what we're providing is strictly defensive so they can ward off drones and missile strikes, which is fine. Regardless, Biden's already said the US will not be supporting Israel if it decides to actually war with Iran and he's also putting constant pressure on Israel to not only stop their belligerent destruction but to also allow aid into Gaza. Aid that this bill also provides. There are now high profile politicians like Nancy Pelosi calling for Netanyahu's remove as Israel's leader too. Things are moving in the right direction. Not fast enough, but it's better than nothing. Certainly better than it would be if Trump were in office. Whimsical bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
