Yeah, remember when Trump "saved" Tiktok? This is what he was doing. You fucking idiots celebrated when you should have been taking it as a sign to leave that app and never return.
It does seem like a Leopards Ate My Face situation
Do you really think the same people most affected by this were the ones celebrating
Absolutely they were. Every one I knew did! Maga/non maga. I was on an island shouting about this bs.
In part, yes.
Well in part, humanity is nazis...
Every situation since 2016 has been one of those.
There was no good outcome to that situation. Let's not blame the victims here
I'll never understand why Americans would prefer TikTok is US owned than China owned. What is China going to do? Propaganda is the worst they can realistically do. The US government can send ICE agents to arrest, beat, and torture you, in your home, without a warrant
I just expect China to share that shit regardless tbh. Maximum chaos on the American empire.
Honestly, TikTok was corrupt and malicious from the moment its servers in beijing went online.
All the corporate controlled social media is complicit, including Meta and obviously X. They make it so easy and entertaining, just like Fux News. There are much less invasive alternatives like Mastodon but people are lazy/stupid.
We did that is why we are here. You need to be saying this on tik tok
No one should be going anywhere near tik tok after reading this. They shouldn't have before, but especially not now.
Something tells me the royal "you" you're mad at isn't on the fediverse
There were people here celebrating Donvict doing that?
