      We literally have a global rise in violent fascism and multiple ongoing genocides, and TikTok is the worst thing you can think of?

      Tictok is horrible but this entire ban is being driven by the swamp being upset that young people have come to the wrong conclusion about Israel. I think that the idea is that as long as people are using facebook or google-owned properties, people can be shown only information that will lead them to the correct, approved opinions.

      Nah, this entire thing is about US control. They’re upset that it’s a different government that’s spying on us this time. No sympathy for TikTok but there’s no good way to spin this.

      Btw, you know if TikTok sells to a US company, they’ll be just as rancid, right?
