Ok, how often do you see Hindus, Buddhists, Nepalese, Indians, Thai, Mongolians, Sri Lankans, Chinese, Japanese, Akans, Hopis, Navajo, and Tlingit peoples spray paint it on walls or get it tattooed on their bodies in AMERICA? This isn't any of those countries you listed. The next time I see someone with a swastika on their neck and a Nazi salute here in America am I supposed to assume it's a peace loving Buddhist with an interest in Roman history?
What was tiktoks agenda?
On Lemmy it's not, this place is filled with pseudo-intellectuals with no critical thinking abilities at all. They literally have no idea what a ban like this means. The problem is I can't tell I'd they're shills or worse, they really think this is a good thing cuz "le short videos bad". I'm starting to think that only the worst people from reddit came here.
"Other social media bad and dumb, my social media good and smart".
You're the same as anyone on Facebook or Twitter, you love you're little echo chamber and nothing is wrong with it and the other ones are bad.
You love it when the government censors people because it can? What are you even on?
And other social media, like the one you're using right now, aren't?
You're gonna complain about social media while on social media? Can't wait for the fediverse apps to be banned because someone in Syria is running an instance.
Ok, but this ban isn't just for tiktok, you realize that right? If Trump wants to consider UK and adversary he could ban the BBC app as well? This wasn't just a tiktok ban it's a ban on ALL "foreign adversary" apps. Nobody gives a shit you never used it.
Yeah because teens love opening the paper in the morning and reading about how Israel is "liberating" Palestine?
Tik tok had some amazing news sources. I'd say the Washington Post on there was pretty good, they actually reported on the bullshit going on at the paper as well. There was a lot of great sources on the app. I'll say that tiktok is the only place you'll see news on Palestine not from the pov of Israel.

I sadly live in Florida at the moment and this is the biggest fucking joke. They literally don't even have sex ed at all. Also, I went to a tech school down here during covid for some cheap learning while I wasn't doing anything else. I had to take placement tests to determine if I was smart enough to go to this school because I didn't go to high school in the state so they didn't have any of my education history. I suck at math, I'm really bad, but that math placement felt like an insult to my intelligence, the hardest question was long division, literally something I learned in elementary school, I ended up with a 100%. Florida is a joke and the education system even more so.
