I don't understand why people are freaking out and acting petulant. Life existed before Tiktok & an alternative will emerge. Its fukking comedy how people are acting like they just banned drinking water. Apart from Youtube, there isn't a single social media site that disappear today and I'd GAF.

nikkas really mad that an Chinese phishing app got that ass banned. Mfs there are other apps for sharing short videos....YouTube has been around since 2005 and now has a similar feature

referring to one app as a phishing app when the others collect the same exact data :rudy:

when in the history of this country have you seen the government ban an app/website that hasn't done any criminal wrongdoing?

this is unprecedeented and they'll do it again now that they've set this precedent.

People are NOT upset about censorship. They're aggrieved by the fact they can't get their brain rot content & have no feasible alternatives in the horizon. It was their comfort, time dump app. In the same way older boomers live for Facebook. Its not some conscious cause for most, who happen to be vocal about its loss.

I work in IT, and it's insane how many "Cybersecurity professionals" in this field are crying over Chinese spyware being banned. TikTok literally farms your data on your device and sends it straight to the CCP.

This isn't the same as Facebook, Google, or Apple taking your data and selling it for advertisement purposes. China will force user data to be handed to them from companies without a subpoena. But fukk it; I guess the TikTok shop is more important than foreign adversaries farming data and using it to influence our population.

the platform is inaccessible due to legislative, executive and judicial actions/decision by the U.S government but it's not censorship?! :mjtf:
