So why does /g/ support banning tiktok ? Isn’t tiktok the only viable competitor to US social media platforms.
>>

>>
>>100169970
social media is not good, therefore we are not seeking a viable competitor. we want them all to fail.
>>
>>100169970
Tiktok is by far the worst of social media promoting cancerous behavior like filming pranks, addictive and especially to kids, promoting procrastination and escapism, and being full of Chinese propaganda and manipulation of public opinion.
How it hasn't been banned a long time ago is beyond me.

Tiktok allows disinformation targeting American public opinion toward Israel. Children are our future, so if we want our alliance with the only democracy in the region to continue, we have to ensure they get accurate information about Israel from American platforms that partner with our intelligence community.

>aka any platform that we do not control the narrative is automatically chinese and a danger to our democracy
the others are russian
4chan is loaded with russians
they got trump elected
tons of them on twitter, facebook, and reddit too
tiktok is just worse, but the psyops is everywhere in social media really. it's just that it's more obvious on tiktok
>>
>>100170929
its really not because if you use it as it suppose to be used
aka your interests you will never see bullshit
and if you see you just block them
like i did with every reddit story bot and bullshit narrative account
>>
>>100170964
the biggest issue is the young and psyops being targeted at them
the massive public opinion manipulation needs to be stopped, and it really needs to be stopped now

A lot of people overlook this but it’s the main actual reason TikTok succeeded.
It’s infinitely preferable to something like YouTube where you are treated like a second class citizen and have your “monetization” taken away at a whim. (they still run ads on your videos though, you just don’t get your money because you’re naughty or whatever)
I don’t know how financially sustainable it is to actually pay video makers fairly, but if a new site can do the same then they’ll have the same skyrocketing success tiktok had.
Also why youtube shorts will NEVER EVER replace tiktok.
YouTube cheats you out of your money and is untrustworthy.

Yes. Anti-Zionism is definitionally antisemitism.
>>
>>100169970
>Is TikTok Chinese spyware?
Yes
>Is it awful for the world?
Yes
>Is it only getting banned because of all the anti-Israel content that flooded it recently?
Yes

I hate the app and will never use it, but it's only now getting banned because the jews can't control the content getting posted. They didn't care before, but as soon it's flooded with anti-israel stuff, the jews have to SHUT IT DOWN. Ultimately it won't get banned, just sold to a jew so they can control what gets posted.
>>
because it's free entertainment to me when zoomies like you seethe about it
>>
>>100169970
I don't, and I'm honestly disappointed that /g/ supports it, I expected better from a board/site that is meant to be about freedom of speech. I loathe social media, but even I don't want this banned because it's the start of a slippery slope. Why do you allow the government to dictate what you can and can't see/use?

It's hypocritical too, tiktok does nothing different from what US social media does, the only difference is "China bad!".
>>
>>100171135
>They didn't care before, but as soon it's flooded with anti-israel stuff, the jews have to SHUT IT DOWN.
Well, at least all the dead palestinans won't have died for nothing. At least they finally made tiktok getting shut down.
>>
>>100171161
>It's hypocritical too, tiktok does nothing different from what US social media does, the only difference is "China bad!".
It's Chinese psyops. If you cannot fathom why psyops is bad, let me remind you that russian psyops made trump president in 2016.
>>
>>100169970
Being against TikTok has two sides.
One one hand, it's a platform full of brainrot
On the other, it's like a containment board, close it down and the shit will spill everywhere else like with Vine
>>
>>100171161
>I expected better from a board/site that is meant to be about freedom of speech.
/g/ has been blue /pol/ for about a decade, which means you're interacting with retarded edgy zoomers and mentally ill morons who have no actual principles beyond petty spite and contrarianism.

That's not even a ban. A ban is unenforceable in the US because it doesn't have a great firewall, and it's unconstutional anyway. Sure, financial/legal pressure might be equivalent to a ban when exerted by the US, but if ByteDance is truly an evil CCP plot like they claim (which it might be), they can easily operate without any legal presence in the US by taking CCP subsidies and not relying on US ad money. What will you do, funny people? Build a national firewall? Good luck.

However, it won't come to this, of course. They will just divest and some US company will buy them. Which will just keep the status quo, and none of the presumed cancer will be squashed. Same shit, different owner, and you'll be surprised how your own corpos and glowniggers are ready to act like chinks to their own population.

And even if they magically disappear overnight somehow, YouTube will be happy to take their place with Shorts in dumbing down your populace, but they are domestic and will be untouchable. Or anyone else really.

Enjoy trading nothing for nothing and arguing about a red herring, fools. The problem is not in a specific social network. The problem is in the format itself.

I keep seeing this argument and it keeps being bullshit. Conservatives have been trying to ban tiktok for years, and this latest push started after positive views of Bin Laden started trending on TikTok and no where else. This smacks of 50 cent talking points.
>>
>>100169970
I unironically think that app made zoomers retarded. I feel bad for them. 10 second fake prank videos 18 hours a day definitely fucks up your brain and I don't need a medical study to prove it.

Reminder: if TikTok successfully fights this in the Supreme Court, that just proves that even a "free institution" can't hold itself against the thumb of "tyranny." Whatever safeguards you put in place to try to "protect freedom" will eventually be used by someone with actual Authority in the exercise of it.

I was going to mention vine but now that you brought it up. When that came out I thought it was retarded and didn't use it. The fact that it died in like 2 years shows I wasn't alone. And comparing the shit that gets fed to these kids on tiktok to anything else is ridiculous. Go download it and see for yourself dude, that shit is brainrot.
Call it cope if you want but it won't undo the damage that tiktok has done. Tiktok won't be banned anyways so this is all retarded to even argue about. All we can do is watch the degradation of the 1st world.

your government can kill you and take your property at any time, the reason they don't do it is you're currently paying something called (((ownership tax))) aka rent, the land you live on is there to stay so they may aswell lease it to you as on its own it doesn't do much.

A Government acting like a Government, how... terrible, I guess.
>>
>>100170352
Even if that's all true, the government has no business telling people what they can and cannot watch. If kids are negatively impacted by TikTok, it's the parents' job to intervene. By outsourcing this to Washington boomers, you create tremendous potential for abuse and it's not like Youtube and Instagram shorts are that much better.
>>
>>100173198
Aye, but that doesn't make it any better
