noooo not the cringe app! everything but the cringe app
yes, ban on tiktok is a net positive
Do you think banning tiktok increases or decreases Biden's popularity?
I think the people who will be negatively influenced by a TikTok ban - Don't vote.
The old people who vote. Already hate the TokTik and the ForkKnife.
The democrats cannot win an election without young people.
Uh huh. And do you think the young people who vote, not just talk about voting - are strongly attached to TikTok?
I know plenty of people who will be pissed off about TikTok ban and all of them don't vote. They don't do fuckin shit with their lives to improve it. Why would a TikTok ban change that.
I know plenty of people who do vote. None of them are going to pick a literal dictator because oh no - I have to get my shorts fix from YouTube or Facebook now.
I just want you to reread this and think about how you sound to other people for a minute.
i will support whoever nukes bytedance datacentres
It's not even a ban, though. TikTok will just be owned by a US company instead of a Singaporean owned company. Literally nothing else will change, I hate to break it to you - cringe app will still be used by millions.
ByteDance has said they won't sell, and the US audience is <15% of their monthly userbase.
We'll see, I suppose. I'm highly doubtful at the moment.
First they came for TikTok..
tiktokers aren't a persecuted ethnic minority
this is so funny out of context
Were socialists a persecuted ethnic minority?
Already they are planning to hinder open hardware (RISK-V) as it could help China and will certainly attack foss software as well.
I'm sure you understood my point.
