We can be skeptical, but not afraid of foreign owned media.
- mistermann 2y ago> All of the comments on here from people who don't use it are bizarre. 100% agree. I would say this offers some insight into the real reason they want to ban TikTok.
- Marsymars 2y agoI mean, I’m happy to see tiktok removed from app stores for the same reasons as I’d be happy to see any social media apps be removed from app stores, so from that perspective, I don’t think it matters that I haven’t used tiktok unless it’s somehow exempt from the problems that are endemic to social media apps.
- groggo 2y agoI mean it's debatable whether or not social media is good for society, and there's legitimate concerns about data privacy, but do you really want the govt to remove them?
- Marsymars 2y agoGood question! I wouldn’t trust a government aiming to remove them, but seeing them run afoul of legitimate legislation (where I’m not actually familiar enough with the US/tiktok law to really make a judgement call on) in ways that get them punished satisfies me. (Assuming those punishments are in line with principles I otherwise support - e.g. I wouldn’t support ISP-level blocking.)
- xvector 2y agoSounds like you just don't care much for free speech.
