That is false. TikTok is a platform where people upload videos of themselves doing things like lip syncing, dancing, etc. That does not have to turn political at all. Unless you use the good ol' argument that "banning all political discussion is supporting the status quo which is also political"
- thisone 7y agoferrets seems to be having a good time on tiktok at the moment. So cute and so wholesome. Not political right? Ferrets are a weirdly political issue in some areas of the USA. It's pretty hard to have anything be politics free when the world we live in is political
- TeMPOraL 7y ago> Ferrets are a weirdly political issue in some areas of the USA. They're not political except for a select group people who want to make it political. They should not be encouraged or appreciated for trying to push that outlook on others.
- fzeroracer 7y agoI mean, that's literally how politics work. Something isn't political unless people make it political, otherwise it's just the norm of the time. You could replace [ferrets are] with [gay marriage is] and get the description for any political argument ever. People argue X is political, others argue it isn't political and create a political argument trying to argue it is/is not political. Repeat as nauseam for topic of your choice.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoAgreed, but you forget about the (large) group of people who are indifferent to an issue either way and want to be left alone, and the (sometimes even larger) group of people who may have some opinion one way or the other, but don't want to join the fight.
- oefrha 7y agoIf you just post some ferrets being cute clips instead of a documentary on why ferrets should/should not be illegal, I’m sure everyone (except those looking to be offended) can have a good time. Saying this is on the same level as protest videos or political commentary is absurd. Now, I don’t deny that some people would try to make political statements with plausible deniability. However, if it’s not their intent and their one video gets shadow banned, who cares? If it is, well, they deserved it.
- icebraining 7y agoTell that to Elnaz Ghasemi, who has been arrested for posting videos on Instagram of her dancing.
