This panic over TikTok is so goofy and driven by other internet companies and wannabe new Cold Warriors to block China. It’s silly.

Why are you propping up totalitarian genocidal government? You know they pay people to do this right and that you don’t have to.

Why are you excitedly propping up Elon Musk And Marc Zuckerberg?

Whataboutism of course
Just answer the question.
I’ve never “propped up” either of them and think they should’ve been heavily regulated and possibly even nationalized after the Cambridge Analytica scandal

No, I've been consistent about this. You can go through this thread.Whataboutism of course

You are a wannabe cold warrior so you can tweet about it and share cool war memes with your friends on facebook and instagram.
I don't want any of these companies to have our information and create this dangerous environment. I don't want Facebook creating wars and genocides for engagements. You seem fine with those things as long as they have an American owning them.

You’re still trying to put me in this box that I’m not even in and you know it. I want strict data protection for US citizens and don’t want false news pushed to that masses that damages societies. It’s not about Americans owning them it’s about the damage US corporations are currently doing for profit that is highly damaging to the US at home and abroad.
You constantly suck off Xi, Putin, Assad and others losers for the sake of it. Why? Internet points? Do you share value with those people? They stand for the opposite of the things that you’re saying you supposedly support.

No, you are comfortably in that box. You don't question power and you constantly accept everything authority tells you. You are a rube.
Meanwhile, you've tried to paint me as a China sympathizer when I have said that all of these social media companies are bad, but they are targeting Chana because they want to protect the American companies and create a new Cold War, which you will wholeheartedly support. You've also tried to paint me as being a supporter of totalitarian leaders based on whatever your chakras are saying at the moment.
I don't want the Chinse state having this information, and I definitely don't want billionaire lunatics having this information either.
banning TikTok while letting these other companies run amok does nothing but satisfy Cold Warriors and our evil capitalists.

I’m not arguing for the last sentence at all.
I call you out on defending totalitarians because you constantly do it. You’re still doing it now with framing it as a Red Scare Cold War blah blah blah. Grow up

You are because you are cheerleading one thing, but in your hundreds of NY Times you share but don't read, it is never against what the American information companies do unless they've done something pro Republican politician.
You can't cite an example. I can cite you supporting the US war machine and staying silent on most of the evil that the corporations do here.
edit: And you are goofy because I have no idea what you get out of not questioning authority. You aren't trying to get into politics like some people on here are. You aren't wealthy enough for tax policies to benefit you. You basically are a NY Times, headline reading---because you don't read the articles---wannabe affluent doofus. Its weird.

I just told you my position. I read the articles I share, the whole point for me is to share them though since people barely post if you want to discuss an article go for it and I’ll throw in my 2 cents.
You constantly do it so that’s the only conclusion I can draw. I don’t have the time or care to search for your posts anyone who reads the forum knows your stances.
How do I not question authority? You’re literally throwing a cape on for the CCP cause West bad.
You sound really invested in classism and not in a positive manner. I hope you work on your attitude because you sound like a really miserable person who can’t take criticism or support their argument without name calling. Think about your actions.
Reality
Make your own luck.
I'm not ashamed to say that the US should go ahead and shut that shyt down for both self-serving and more altruistic reasons.
American workers lose if TikTok dominates - the way TikTok pushes their white collar employees to work 72 hours a week. No - we shouldn't compete with that, and I'm OK if it's not a fair fight. I don't want to work those hours nor does the average American. And to top it off, this company is playing funny with American citizens' data and being shady about it? And they're fukking up kids & making people content junkies?
Where is the silver lining here for why their success is a good thing?
More than enough reason to toss them in the bushes
Good riddance

While I still don’t mind the notion of it being banned, the US is still missing the forest for the trees. We need our own GDPR.

Congress is either too old to understand that or doesn’t want to stop corporations from making their money. Banning tiktok is putting a band aid over a a gun shot wound.
