Friend has a nice presence on it. Compared the comp to meta when he gets a million views on a video on each platform. Was interesting how tiktok pays much better

I have never used TikTok due to a distrust of China. I know people who really like it but the potential negatives have kept me from trying it.

Not sure what you mean. Ownership will change hands and TikTok will still be here.

Not a problem with me, simply because of China. However, I’d assume something in the bill would give the Government more over each to go after Twitter/X or any other platform that allows people to post opinions that piss off politicians and so-called news organizations


The wording of the bill highly suggests this is exactly what they are aiming to do, but don’t stop at suppressing politics. Think bigger. Like any website.

This is a bad thing. It’s a trial balloon to see if they (OUR government) can get away with it and it will be another step of stifling free speech.

This is incredibly short sighted if you support what the government is doing.

Hey.....why are you against saving the chillren, man? What, you hate kids?

Too many people will support this shite under that guise alone. Hook, line, and sinker. It is the old playbook.

Republicans: Appeal to saving the children.
Democrats: Appeal to saving the poor folks.

Reality: Neither really give a shite about either group, they're just pawns.

right. Nothing ever good happens when both sides are in agreement on something. There’s always a darker reasoning behind it

Tik Tok needs to be banned in my opinion because it absolutely destroys young people’s (and older people too) attention spans

These kids grow to the point where if something is longer than 15-30 seconds, it doesn’t hold their attention anymore, leading to ADD and ADHD diagnoses

yeah there is definitely money to be made on TikTok which is probably the exact reason why the government wants it banned. Don’t buy the Chinese bs they try to feed you

I think a better thing to concentrate on is shutting down these apps harvesting data.

I trust China more than Mark Zuckerberg and our elites. FB, YT, Meta, Twitter, etc., actively suppressed 2020 election information and differing vaccine opinions, and our congress, even with a Republican Majority did nothing, other than some meaningless hearings.

If this passes the elites will have more control of the narrative. They will eventually find a way to silence Elon.
