I’m watching it.
As for the banning of Tik Tok, that’s two-fold. Trump called for it to be banned way back in 2020 after the user base fucked with tickets to a rally of his. It wasn’t taken seriously though and nothing was done. It wasn’t until the pro-Palestinian videos started coming out that Congress began talking about it.
I don’t know about its competition IN China and don’t care; I’m talking about here. It’s taking market share from Zuckerburg here. He spent almost $200 million getting it banned. There is a reason things like this are happening the first week
As for IN China, Facebook is a cesspool. In fact, all our social media are cesspools. I go to Xiaohongshu and because of said censorship, I guess, it’s a really nice place. There are no toxic assholes. There are no fascists threatening the families of capital police officers. There are no calls for eliminating this group or that. Everyone is really nice. It’s pleasant. If you’re a toxic shit stain, they ban you. What a novel idea.
How could that be claiming Tik Tok doesn’t collect data? No words to that notion were posted. It’s curious that you escalate my words into that phrasing. Tik Tok didn’t illegally scrub my data from Facebook and sell it to Russians. I reapeat, clearly:

China now has 3 aircraft carriers. They just built the Fuijan last year. The US has 11. 100 times faster, huh? China, at its height, spends 59% of what we do and that’s just recently. When the President says the shit about you that Trump does, would you blame them? 14% of ALL of our spending is on the military. It’s our largest export.
That’s my point to all of this, as in my original post about the subject. That’s one of the reasons I changed my party stance and removed myself from the DNC and ACTBlue donation boxes. I don’t believe shit from either of them anymore. You’re acting like I’m pro-China and against the US. I’m against the bullshit from the DNC and the outright fascism of the GOP. I don’t want to war with China over the cost of textiles and plastic Iphone covers. We have a dude copying the Nazi invasion into Czechoslovakia of 1939 and fomenting fascism throughout the world. I have an enemy. Tik Tok isn’t it. In fact, Tik Tok is one of the only methods of discussion and gathering against said enemy that’s possible these days, and we’re only a week into this motherfucker. But, understand my position…this isn’t about Tik Tok. They compromised too, just not as much yet. It’s that the Democrats went along with it so willingly and without any pushback.
Trump just pardoned his shock troops, en mass. The Civil Rights Division of the Justice Dept was just shut down. They are the ones who protect you when the police beat you and lock you up for no reason. Every platform owned by the people sitting with the guy during his inauguration all have just the weirdest little glitches all in the same week, just like some framework is being laid on the back end that threads of it surface as they implement it. Was it weird that you can’t unfollow Trump on Insta or Facebook or that you couldn’t find Biden as President on Google for a bit? Is it weird to you that government websites are being shut down? Strange to you that for a few days you couldn’t find Jan 6 videos, or anything relating to Trump and fraud or vote rigging on Tik Tok? Lots and lots of glitches from the people who provide the format for information all in the same week and all in the same direction. I mean, it’s not like the GOP openly courted Orban and his methods for 5 years right in our faces, hosting him at Mara Lago and holding CPAC in Hungary or anything, right?
Scripts are being followed. You might want to find a place outside of the mix to discuss and organize too.
