I find the act of banning someone from tiktok being equated with "de-personing" them extremely interesting. I think we have very different perspectives on what it means to be human, how much all of this (waves around hand in the general direction of social media) is worth, and what is important. I value tiktok, and all other social media platforms, at nothing. $0.00, maximum. If you built your business on them, you fucked up. If you use them for news, you fucked up. And if you feel that they are needed or important, you DEFINITELY fucked up.

The problem is that many governments are starting use social media as official platforms. Want to know of road closures? Better check the relevant DoTs Twitter pages.

  That’s a legitimate problem, but it’s one that you should take up with DoT, not Twitter. For critical services it may even be illegal, since you can’t access Twitter pages without logging into Twitter, and you can’t signup to Twitter without passing a CAPTCHA and other user-hostile gating mechanisms.
