Like, I know why it’s being banned or has been banned or whatever. I just don’t understand the rage behind to keep this shitty ass social media platform that is essentially Vine 2.0
TikTok has been the detriment to society today as Facebook was and is. People doing stupid challenges. People’s attention span getting lower and lower. People pretending they’re more popular than life itself because of their faux acting and lip-syncing.
Why keep the piece of shit?
I don’t think it’s talked about because it’s missing the point, isn’t it? It’s about digital security and privacy. The fact that it’s a social media platform doesn’t make a difference. If a mobile game were able to harvest data inappropriately the same way, wouldn’t the problem be the same?
Not that I agree with the ban, but making it about freedom of speech seems like a stretch to me.
Its not about privacy or data collection they already forced TikTok to use us based servers of a us company, which by law has to give the government any data without notifying the user. Its purely about control an censorship. Also why would they allow fair competition in the free market.
To whom? Not the law makers who caused this to happen. If that were the case, maybe they would write laws that reflected that instead of just banning one company.
Where are all the mobile apps that Congress explicitly banned?
If that was the actual reason then the same ban would apply to all other platforms like Meta and Google. Clearly, the US government doesn’t give two shits about security and privacy as long as they’re not cut out of the loop.
