Tiktok usa ban?

[Butler1000]

so how is the problem going to be solved if they sell it?

it just means that someone else will be capable of those shenanigans

aren't we overestimating the capability of any social media software to influence people?

I know that lefties are easily bamboozled

but normal people are not that gullible to be influenced by a video they see on TikTok

I would say that it's very difficult to change someones opinion or view on almost any subject

just look at TERB

did anybody ever succeed in changing somebody's mind on any topic?

The USA govt wants a US company to own it. Its about WHO gets the info.

And its not about one post. But millions that create a background narrative and noise not just for our generation but the new ones. You can gradually shift public opinion. Look how patriotism in the USA is ingrained in everyday life.

Overreaction to an enjoyable app. I can't believe I agree with Rand Paul, fuck!!!

Yes. They can also modify content to create dissention, push propaganda, limit criticism, even store it for blackmail later. Same reason they had to sell grindr

Truth about Grindr. It was in the news for a while

The bottom line you guys, is the NSA and CIA dont want competition.

This shouldnt be too hard to figure out

There's a guy on TikTok who alluded to the claim that Larry Ellis' servers whether from Oracle or not, were actually hosting TikTok and then he alluded to the fact that he may be a CIA guy and that's when he stopped recording with a half assed laugh and ended the video. Wouldn't be surprised. I'm seeing the term "Prison Planet" come up slowly in comments under videos now too. lol

The PRC allows for no foreign social media and only social media controlled and vetted by the Chinese Communist Party. No “ Canadian Police Stations” in Beijing, Shanghai or anywhere else in China neither are permitted or be even considered .
Fuck Tiktok , fuck them dry without any lube…

Silver lining? Hopefully it'll mean the end of those "Big Bank TikTok Challenge" bot accounts that have infested YouTube the same way that they've infested Twitter.

Though the silver lining is that if it wasn't for the BBTTC videos, I wouldn't have discovered Izzy Green, Jacky Love or Mady Gio. If Jacky or Mady showed up in the doorway to my bedroom naked from the waist up with a bottle of lube, baby oil or a bowl or warmed Nuru gel, I think that everyone knows what I would get up to with them!

Some interesting perspectives.

If they can actually stop the data leaving the US, I can't see why they wouldn't do it. However I think there are a lot of financial gamers salivating at the prospect of taking over the Tik Tok.
