TikTok Ban Status

[Anonymous]

What do we think? Will SCOTUS overrule Congress on First Amendment issues? If not and TikTok is actually 'banned' on January 19th, what will that look like in practice? I am really curious about this.

FWIW I love Tiktok and find it incredibly valuable in connecting people and information. I also don't care if the Chinese get my info. Beyond my own interests, there are many people who make a living or income streams from content on Tiktok so this will certainly hurt them.

No idea but I hope it gets canned. Not everyone is dumb enough to not be concerned with their data being siphoned. It should be regarded as an urgent matter of national security.

I hope is banned. Social media is dumbing the world down.

I care about my information being siphoned by a foreign government. I hope it is banned. It is also dumbing down our children further. My position is that if China would not allow half the content in China that China Tic Toc is spewing in the USA, why would or should it be allowed. China knows the harm and it is for that reason half that garbage is not allowed in China. Go ahead and further corrupt the dumb Americans, is their motto.

Yes but Zionists don't want you to see their genocidal behavior. Therefore TikTok will inevitably have to close

To some extent I agree about social media, but TT is different. It is connecting people in a way the others didn't.

I guess what I should have said it that is doesn't bother me more than the fact that other social media platforms are doing the same thing, including Twitter and Meta. I don't think they are more trustworthy just because they are American companies. It comes with the territory when using social media and I have accepted it (although I am not on Twitter anymore and the only Meta platform I use now is IG.)

It will be interesting to see the evidence that is presented to SCOTUS about the harm to national security.

I think you need to distinguish between siphoning data for profit reasons and for political strategic reasons. Meta and all those others are definitely garbage companies not to be trusted, but tik tok is a different kind of threat. Couple it with our compromised telecom systems and you end up with a worrisome situation.

Different how? And I certainly think that the US-based companies use data for political reasons as well.

This is why it’s being shuttered. Wake up sheeple!

Of course a Zionist thinks thinks the #freepalestine hashtag is antisemitic. TikTok is PR disaster for Israel and the app is capturing the genocide real time. Israel is big mad that everyone is seeing all the dead Palestinian kids - and you probably are too since that destroys the “most moral army” image (which was never true just good propaganda).
