    Tl;dr, banning TikTok was the right move and we should have done it sooner. I’m sorry you’re addicted to brain rot.

        Lol, reaching? In what way do you draw the conclusion that I am against TikTok for anything to do with capitalism? TikTok is a tool for the Chinese government to take user data while simultaneously providing nothing but brain rot to the consumers (of course, this isn’t the case with the Chinese version, it actually shows educational content). Eat shit, Pooh Bear.

          The intention was that I didn’t need your participation to make my point. But here we are. Thanks for the reinforcement!

            if you didn’t want to interact you could have just not posted anything. You want to do your point but you know it doesn’t hold any ground and cannot stand the slightest opposition so you bail.

          Isnt all the content on tiktok user-generated?

            Isn’t all the content on YouTube, Facebook, Reddit Lemmy, etc user created? It’s about the moderation. What gets deleted, what gets promoted, those are the things that are different.

          Are American social media platforms not sharing data with the American government?

          They’re all the same, banning one is missing the point.

          that whole pooh the bear shit is racist as fuck in the first place. “Ahah the chinese guy is yellow ahah”.

          Do you also support comparing black people to monkeys?

              Of course he looks like Winnie the Pooh to you, you racist prick.

              The only thing you notice about a chinese guy is the color of his skin that’s pathetic

                LMFAO, you aren’t even a good troll. This is the most common and least effective style of trolling and it makes me laugh every time. Just quintuple down on everything, keep repeating yourself ad nauseum, I’m sure you’ll convince me that I’m a racist soon if you just keep trying! 🤣

                  “Ahah racist caricature so funny. Very lol”. The nazis had very funny caricatures of bignosed jews if you’re interested.

                  Because I’m not a troll at all. You are the one denying the obvious. You find it funny to compare a chinese person to a yellow cartoon character, and what’s the humour beside sheer racism?

                    If Winnie the Pooh was green and Asians had more of a red skin tone. They would still look alike. You’re the one obsessed with skin color here buddy.

                And by that logic, black people are orange, I guess? Or maybe it’s about how much they look like the character and not what color they are.

          If banning the harvest of user data was the real reason for going after tiktok, they would’ve banned harvesting user data. Meta infamously sells their’s to the highest bidder. Are you certain they don’t sell to China? They’ve been caught lying about what they do with it before

              That’s my point! We can’t just have the government wack-a-moling businesses like that, that’s not impartial governing.

                Why does the government need to be impartial when dealing with public health and safety?

                  Why does the government need to be impartial…

                  …uuummm, because it’s fair and just? Ngl, I’m not sure how else to answer that because I’ve never heard somebody argue against fair and consistent application of the law before. Maybe I’m just being an idealist here, but when somebody compromises health and safety, they should get disciplined because it’s against the law to compromise health and safety; Not because they happened to catch the attention of Congress.

                  Edit: Actually let me ask you because I need to know: Why shouldn’t the government be impartial in matters of health and safety? In what situations should the violations of health and safety by some parties be ignored and those of other parties be exaggerated? Because, you know, that’s what “partial” means.

                    This mentality is how we get equality for neonazis and “bOtH sIdEs” arguments. I actually don’t give a shit if life isn’t fair and balanced for garbage people. I don’t want the government to be fair to everyone, I want it to protect it’s people from fascism and psyops.
