TikTok officially set to be banned in the US on January 19, 2025 pending

[The God Poster]

What’s the next under radar social media site we should hedge our bets on

 

[TEH]

Nah Ban all that shyt. Bring the 90s back.

 

[bnew]

The ban should be extended to ALL social media. Throw reddit in there too.

people can immigrate to china if thats the internet they desire. I and many others prefer to live in a freer society not paternalized by any government controlling the viewing habits of grown adults.

tik tok gathers the same level of data as other social media apps. if they were doing this in good faith they'd protect us from FB and Instagram's shyt as well but its not about that

ive grown to like tiktok, oh well

the issue is the Data being in the hands of CCP, this is why dudes are disingenuous with the US companies get the same data stuff. I get it's cool to be Anti American but the Chinese do not give a flying fukk about us so the morality stuff dudes want to argue is kinda dumb. you can argue that "US companies don't care about us" either but this is more of geopolitical thing than a moral thing.

reddit useful as fukk

Well you better get your passport to another country
It’s over

The funny thing is a lot of older people love tiktok. They always send me links from it.

My wife and I are old as fukk and she stay sending me tik tok vids.

I prefer YouTube shorts

One of the dudes which is my friend's pops was like.... they are banning it because they don't want you to know the truth!! I think the rest of his fam is anti-tiktok. I'm surprised they still want to ban it, Trump was loving the support on it during the election and changed his tune.


Maybe he will free tiktok like Kodak Blyke

 

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

Lot of yall delusional.

Trump threaten to ban it in his first term. China’s government owns the app. He's spearheading a trade war with China, day one. Both parties support banning the app. Some states already restrict it. Trump owns the SCOTUS.

this is happening unless a US tech bro makes a bid.

You're the one that sounds delusional

This has nothing to do with trade. This has everything to do with censorship. And on the topic of trade wars, who do you thing is going to lose. China has been expanding it's global market share for decades. It's been increasing it's trade partnerships. The US needs China more than China needs the US. They don't need them for natural resources.

At the end of the day, The US traded IP for cheap labor. They saw China as too dumb to be a global power. China took that IP and not only learned out to build their own version, but they built better versions. The US prevented China from being part of ISS so they built their own space station.

The US, France and U.K. are pariahs. They want to keep the rest of the world "emerging" or "third world" and continue to dominate indefinitely. Countries are tired of the bullshyt. BRIC's will continue to add countries and eventually, they will have their own standard trade currency.

This country is being run by Baby Boomers, Gen X'ers, Racist CAC Jews and multinational corporations. They don't give a shyt about the future. They all got theirs and all they care about is keeping theirs. They are using playbooks from the 80's and 90's and none of those plays work anymore.

They banned Xiaomi and Huawei from the US market. And both companies are still growing, despite access.


The US is ill-equipped to compete with China. NAFTA and other trade agreements opened pandoras box. Decades of adapting. Now they want to reverse it with no real plan of action.

Workers complain about working at Amazon, so imagine how shyt will be at a factory with unions. Cheap products will be a thing of the past. Domestic vehicles are already over priced.

Trump gonna reverse the ban

Trump has the most pro Zionist cabinet in the history of the United States. He will not reverse it if it does end up getting banned.

It's in Trump's best interest to have it banned despite what he might say.

TikTok has become a highly popular platform for rapidly sharing information with the entire world. Twitter was the only social media with that kind of outreach, until Elon took over and it became st0rmfront/4cac 2.0.

 

[Scustin Bieburr]

I just really started with fukking tik tok. What’s the problem with it?

Nothing.

Like auto companies begging for tariffs so they don't have to compete with Chinese cars, American data harvesters like meta don't want to compete with their Chinese equivalent.

Low IQ individuals will believe the stupid bullshyt that China is spying, like China can't literally just hack into people's phones(they did) or buy your info from the data brokers Facebook and Google sell it to(they do).

American companies don't innovate anymore because they want to continue getting government contracts and tax breaks to give money to their corporate leadership and shareholders while failing to produce anything compelling or better than what they did last year or even in the last 5 years. This is about being too pathetic and greedy to make a better algorithm than what tiktok has, just like it's about being too weak and cowardly to make a cheaper car like what the Chinese have done.

Everybody knows them DEVILS behind this and why.

Gen Z not buying US-backed Zionist propaganda and fighting back for Palestine effectively on mass scale.
