It’s nuts this thing is allowed to poison our country.

Agreed.
It is horrible.

+2 I won't allow my kids to have it.

The app would no longer be avail.

The real point is to take away free speech.

This exactly.

Whoever would vote to ban TikTok would get my continued support!

Of course it should be banned. It's so obviously a CCP tool since the Chinese TikTok is all education, nationalism, and news. What they put forward in the US version is US hate, dangerous "pranks", and compromising photos/videos.

Prob has nothing to do with the fact that tiktok has created an information sharing platform that circumvents big media and its biased narratives. Hmmmm

Would anyone be seeing the true gaza situation in real time without it?

Yes. In fact, they wouldn't be directed toward antisemitic conspiracy theories like they are by the Chinese government's algorithms.

But your comment reveals that you're already one of their useful idiot zombies, so... you clearly prove our point that TikTok is rotting brains.

The algorithm is what scares me the most. Between the conspiracy theories and the amount of amateur psychology - it’s a dangerous place.

This! - we wanted to ban tiktok for a long time but did not have enough support but then gaza happened and now we can see genocide in real time. Not allowed!
I do agree this app make kids dumb but I hope congress will not get in the business of banning dumb.

You actually have no idea of what you’re watching on TikTok is real or created. And it’s going to get worse.

All of it. Take it all down. Social media is the worst thing to happen to civilization. And since I know that won’t happen, we at least need regulation for children since we know now what it does to their brains.

Why exactly are Trump and the GOP now pro-TikTok? They say: 1. First amendment 2. Can’t take investors’ property.

Translation: money.

What else can it be?

[Anonymous]

It’s money. Trump doesn’t have any and is selling himself to the CCP to get some.

“As Donald Trump reverses his position on potentially banning TikTok ahead of an expected House vote this week on legislation that could lead to it being blocked in the U.S., the former president has been rebuilding his relationship with a GOP megadonor who reportedly has a major financial stake in the popular social media platform.

Trump met with the donor, hedge fund manager Jeff Yass, earlier this month at a Club for Growth donor retreat in Palm Beach, Florida, on March 1.”
