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?

    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.
