france is protesting a higher retirement age

we're about to protest an app getting banned.

and what's sad? there are other apps that have the same functionality....tiktok basically existed before today's tiktok
Its not the app, its the bullshyt they tryna put in the law that impinges on our rights.

And these congress do not care about the dangers of social media.

Log into your vpn and put in Chinese ip or Asian country ip and go on tik tok and search for mindless vids.. You will get zero results… put an US IP then search tik Tok and you will get millions of hits for mindless bullshyt
:what:
what constitutes mindless bullshyt that requires congressional intervention?
tiktok claim to fame is their algorithm that shows users content they want to see.

protip: if you don't look for "mindless bullshyt", you won't find "mindless bullshyt".

most ppl dont know about the extra bullshyt that politicians try to add into each bill. i get protesting that, but folks have literally called it the TikTok ban and ran up Chew's socials like he's a national hero. he's a well-trained spokesperson for another PoS company

edit: y'all need to read this shyt because i guarantee over 90% of folks do not understand it.

The language is far too broad.
Also, "foreign adversaries" are whoever the government says they are.
just say you're unfamiliar with how the DoD and DoS determine that. they even put specific countries in the bill.


you can't just wake up and say a country is an adversary.... it would be broad of they did any entity. which from what i read it doesn't

:mjlol: Trust the DoD, brehs

This is supposed to be ablut TikTok. That company is not mentioned once in the bill. Giving government this much broad authority over the internet is unwise.


Even fascist ass Josh Hawleys bill actually targets TikTok.

:snoop: Hawleys bill targets TikTok by name, unlike the Restrict Act. People want to reign in TikTok, not give the federal government broad power to regulate foreign tech. That's the point. Just like we wanted to fight Al Qaeda and OBL, not give the government unlimited war and surveillance powers. I don't see what's so hard to understand.
