Our government is saying YOU can be spied on through an app and that this information can be a danger to our public safety YET-----

Americans do not give a shit about public safety as long as they can stay glued to TikTok

AND

It is entirely possible that this is just a bullshit way to keep Americans from having open world wide communication through an entertainment app.

The decision, which followed warnings from the Biden administration that the app posed a “grave” national security threat because of its ties to China, will allow the ban to start Sunday. But there are a lot of lingering questions about how the ban would work in practice because there’s no precedent for the US government blocking a major social media platform. And how exactly the government would enforce it remains unclear.

@LaNaehForaday Carrying on like losing TikTok is equivalent to burning the library of Alexandria.

There are numerous alternatives, just like everybody left MySpace & LiveJournal.

@LaNaehForaday

TikTok already censors speech critical of China, so making this a free speech issue is a non-starter.

@Nazani

First, I dont use TikTok so it means nothing to me, but I consider myself a good American and when my government says something is a no go, I might complain but I would stop. It should be as simple as this. Entertainment or National Security? The answer should be a no brainer.

Now we have Trump coming back in who is obviously in cahoots with Xi so Im assuming Trump will try and stop this ban which will make him look like a HERO for the spoiled people that wont just switch to another app.

We just keep putting Trump into these hero rolls where the ignorant among us, THE VAST MAJORITY, cant tell the difference between RIGHT AND WRONG.

@LaNaehForaday @Nazani

I'm sorry, you'd stop doing something just because the government said not to?

Learning is very hard for these people.

Turns out you can train these people to beat others over their head with a stick and they'll mindlessly arrive at the "CAP-i-TOL" with guns, hand weapons and a hangman's noose.
