Technologically speaking, of course.Larry Ellison, the chairman and founder of Oracle was a huge support for Trump's 2016 election campaign. During Trump's term, he asked Trump to force TikTok to move their data centers to the US. TikTok's data centers were then moved from Singapore to Texas. A couple of years ago, Oracle was caught selling massive amounts of user data to China. The case wasn't made public, and nothing happened after it was leaked.
>>100164578the US is a threat
>>100164578It all starts to make sense when you realize that the real threat aren't foreign authoritarians but domestic ones.Keep that in mind next time you hear the government whine about how a private company is actually communist statists
It's data the US can't manipulate and control that happens to also be very popular with the populace. They didn't bend the knee so they're just chopping them off now.
>Congress must show evidence to gain Americans' support for its proposed banlmao

>TikTok will be banned... but after the elections!>meanwhile, Biden is on TikTok>top US government officials are on TikTok>White House inviting top American TikTok users to generate pro-Biden and pro-Democrats content, for moneyHmm?
>>100165665As long as that mental illness isn't pedophilia, why should I care?
>>100165675Wtf based democrats
>>100164578Stupid sheeple who fall for their politicians'/corpo dictwat manipulations are a bigger issue.
>>100165686It is tho
I don't understand why arr you people cheering for this, yes it's cancer but Instagram is still around. The only difference is that kikes killed the one they don't control and left the one blatantly biased meta's mark kikeburg controls.
>>100164578Everything Chinese, Russian or North Korean is a threat and its because>>100164643Everyone in China, Russia or North Korea thinks like this.Simple as, OP. People are not magically civilized and nothing about human society has changed since the Dark Ages. Having a peaceful period in human history isn't going to get rid of war, hierarchy, or the power struggle between nations, it only delays it so that the technology of war can become more and more destructive and kill more people when those wars are finally fought.
If America genuinely cared for its people, I could understand TikTok being pointed to as a problem. As it stands, they don't give a shit at all and are more than happy seeing people suffering and consuming goyslop (of the food and media varieties).I've tried imagining in my head a government that actually wants its people to thrive, a government that treats its people like a nurturing parent treats their child. Ensuring that people only eat healthy food, that they're strong and capable of pursuing their dreams, but the government doesn't want that at all. The attack on Tiktok is all anti-China propaganda.
>>100167051>government that treats its people like a nurturing parent treats their childGo back to England
>>100166982you are not fooling anyone. you think that europeans still trust the US after you blew up our energy source in the biggest act of state sponsored terrorism ever? nope. nobody trusts the US anymore. we just don't want to deal with your tantrums, so we still entertain you. for now.
>>100165675I thought govt officials were already banned from using tiktok, how can they be on it?
>>100167159Ok vlad.
>>100165646the rapture is already upon us
>>100167955>You now realize the people in charge of the nukes might be boomers in a doomsday cult
>>100167758Government devices. As in, government phones. You have your own phones.You know how some places have work phones and work cars?
Kids might watch anti-Israel propaganda instead of Fox News, it's a serious threat!
>>100165646>At this point, Israel is deliberately spreading antisemitismtheyre not. its chutzpah. its just a religion of narcissism
>>100167444true
>>100168021now? I'm not that slow anon, just spreading the word
>>100164578The US government and certain... "stakeholders" are a far bigger threat to US citizens than China will ever be
>receiptlol wat, ameriburguers can only think of food
>NOOOOOO, YOU MUST ALLOW OUR SPYWARE AND PROPAGANDA TOOL TO BE INSTALLED ON EVERY AMERICAN DEVICEcry more wumao
>>100165499Ever heard of arguments, faggot?
China has banned almost every single western social media in china. Now US only bans one, how is this an issue?
>>100168126how about we an all the jewish social meiafacebook, instagram, whatsapp, youtube & google too. theyre all a threat to national security
>>100168126You should be copying china even more by forcing tiktok to push educational content
>>100168032You're on /g/, he works at a KFC in Bangladesh
They'll found a way to work around the ban somehow.
>>100168149i agree, but if we actually did, what would we use then? if its not google or meta, it would just be another company. more realistically speaking, sites like facebook and youtube have been around for decades at this point and we would just see the uproar about the tiktok ban multiplied by 10, no matter what propaganda whatever lobbyist group pays ted cruz to say. i dont see any realistic solution, but maybe thats just what they want us to believe. sites as big as myspace died off without action from the government, so i guess if that can happen then there is probably a solution.
>>100168653I assumed as much. A lot of people here have Indian tier arguments.
>>100164643Fippy bippy. Get the fuck out of Pine Gap, you parasites.
>>100164578>is TikTok a threatif it were, don’t you think it’s strange they gave the company nearly a whole year to sell it to an american company? And then after that the company could request a three month pause and then after that there are legal hurdles to deal with. A possible ban would at the earliest happen like mid 2025. It’s so clearly just America wanting control over TikTok so they can continue dominating social media.
>>100169726Civilized nations also believe in due process
>>100169910Do they also believe in funding terrorist groups, drone striking third world countries, and constant psyops on their own civilians?
>>100170035Everyone has skeletons in their closet, making efforts to improve is what matters
>>100169726No, it's because the Chinese spys running ticktock won't share with five eyes. And the people who really running America just can't stand that at all.
Many states have rejected TikTok's ban. I wonder how the Supreme Court will go for the national ban.
>>100165646On a practical level.Bibi’s government is pretty much a runaway junta at this point, like a circumcised Putin, or the Argentinians when they invaded the Falklands.Keep in mind bibi’s party, likud, has literally assassinated Israeli diplomats who were in the process of peace talks, and is also on record saying they must fund Hamas to justify their own existence.Bibi knows that he’s going to get the shit sued out of him when this war ends, so he’s trying to prolong it as much as possible by lobbing missiles at Iranian embassies or whatever he can to buy time for him and his likud lackies.As for the annoying chest thumping on twitter.Likud tend to chest thump a lot, but stoking anti semitism outside of Israel is also a strategy of theirs.The more inhospitable the outside world is, the more likely jews are to move to israel, or something like that.
>>100164578It's a threat to US intelligence agencies since it's the one social media that's popular but they don't have direct access to all user data.
>>100170128NTA, but none of those items are exclusively "skeletons in their closet". They are happening in the present.
an actual political thread and nobody seems to have noticedis it because nobody said "nigger", "DEI" or any of your trigger words?
>>100171549not suprising, israhell is an illigitimate crime state just like ukraine. propped up by western MIC. Neither place can actually exist without full western power support.
>>100171549this is silly Bibi enjoys 90% public support for the war if he is gone someone similar to him will take his place the whole political spectrum is in on the scam these people are interchangeable actors for the cattle that thinks they have any choice. The Israelis keep pushing the same trick some day they will have to pay the price for being genocidal maniacs. This excuse of blissful ignorance like in the case of Americans doesn't work.
>>100164578A threat to the jews.
>>100168039>preoccupied with ideal loveIt is over for me ...
>>100169051He didn't have an argument he asked a question, sperg. Besides Demonrats worship shitskins so you should follow your leaders. >>100167758Because they are granted special privileges, there's a myriad of policies and procedures every state/federal agency follows like who is allowed to use social media; most public employees are allowed to use social media (as their own person) but if they say something stupid it could lead to your job termination. Elected officials have more leeway though, they can say something retarded or treasonous and still get away with it Some states for instance have banned tiktok 100% so no public employee or otherwise may use it while others are using as an opportunity for gerrymandering. If you have someone like Biden pushing a tiktok ban while he's also using it, it is treasonous but he gets special privileges because he's the president and people will lick his nuts
>>100173000>He didn't have an argument he asked a question, sperg. Besides Demonrats worship shitskins so you should follow your leaders.Well of course, they are kikes. But your side is too (ban tiktok, tarrifs on china, war with china, arm taiwan separatists, war on venezuela, put it's nose where it doesn't belong, aid to israel) so don't get too cocky
>>100164578Given the amount of pro-Palestine shit on that platform it's not surprising why>>100165646>>100168038>>100172152There must be someone who unironically believes that hating the Jews is the new "woke"
>>100173787>There must be someone who unironically believes that hating the Jews is the new "woke"All right wing platforms that aren't unironic nazis or edgy larpers. It always makes me laugh when trying to imagine a nazi reading some leftist sub about a new far right group, he goes there to check it out and it is the most zionist people possible. I like to imagine he punches a hole in the wall later that day
Jew bros... We've won!!!

USA governmentIt is a grave injustice and a blight upon the world that USA government is still allowed to exist. I have already talken with americans and they all say "I wish we had a government like Russia, then things would get better" and "Trump and Biden, they work for Israel, not for me! Putin works for Russians, I wish I would be Russian. I would have free healthcare and education too."And while they are saying this, the USA government ILLEGALY added more aid to Ukraine to destroy the bastion of tradition and common prosperity because they cannot compete. How long will we tolerate this, fellow Americans?
>>100168039
>>100175180He did listen to the based Lukashenko in the end tho ...
anything chinese is a threat so yeah
>>100175156What a bunch of bullshit. Are you in St. Petersburg?
>>100175685No, I am an American. From Minessota if you wonder. And it is NOT a bullshit. When you think about it, everything I said makes sense
>>100165665Tiktok's content isn't any different from IG and YT shorts. Removing tiktok will only make its audience to move into one of the western brain rot platforms.
>>100165585The ONLY reason TikTok is getting banned NOW is the uncensored publishing of atrocities and genocide in Gaza.
>>100175090
>>100175772>protesting murder of black man for being black is anti whiteso is murder inherently "white"? are whites inherently acting like niggers is what you are saying?
>>100175787No niggers are getting murdered though
>>100175816what are they protesting then
>>100175852Because blacks can't get away with crime or murder while collecting $200 as they pass Go
>>100175207No, because his mother is jewish and you're a fucking mongoloid.
>>100175816Put some work into your images, Jesus Fucking Christ. What the fuck even is this?
>>100164578It’s the exact same cybernetic recommendation system Facebook and Instagram are. The only difference is that it’s not run by a Jew.>>100164648This.>>100165585If brown retards had to attach their mugshot to their resumes like they do in Germany we’d be back to the good old days.

>>100176092>Hellfaggot>is gayWhat did he mean by this?
>>100164578it's chicom brainwashing to make people more retarded, but the alternative is US sanctioned brainwashing to make people more retarded. there's no winning really, beyond the complete dismantling of social media and the banning of short format video. this stuff is designed to destroy attention spans and keep people distracted from reality (although one could argue that keeping the most retarded people pacified is a good thing).

>>100173787>There must be someone who unironically believes that hating the Jews is the new "woke"It kind of is. /pol/ is now praising Tiktok leftists and Muslim immigrants as "based" solely because those people are against Israel.
>>100177765We’re not praising them but we are enjoying watching the intellectuals suffer the consequences of their ideas instead of everyone else for once.
>>100177642*the chinaman gnashes his teeth in rage*
>>100177765They are based though
>>100177869What about trannies? Are they "based" now cause most of them hate Israel?
>>100177793>We’re not praising themYou are though.Want to prove it? Try making a thread criticizing Islam on /pol/ and see how quickly you get called a "falseflagging kike" or something like that.
>>100177765/pol/ doesn't even know what it stands for anymore.half are unironically zionists now because muh god emperor trump magapede conditioning.half like any antisemitism due to stormfront raid holdovers regardless of who is promoting it.and 100% of them are psyoped. the board where independent thought goes to die.
