Brazilian 🇧🇷 Cartoonist Carlos Latuff! @LatuffCartoons: I didn't read about ethnic cleansing in #Palestine in newspapers or websites. I didn't watch documentaries on TV or YouTube. I WAS THERE! I SAW Israeli apartheid with my own eyes! Therefore, I will ALWAYS be on the side of the Palestinian people! #Gaza #GazaGenocide

You might be all for the banning of TikTok, and I'll be 100% honest with you that I wouldn't cry over Chinese spyware, but the proposition is far bigger than just TikTok. It's Patriot Act levels of censorship. That's why it should be opposed - not because TikTok is some great thing, I fucking hate that shit with a passion, but because of what this will mean overall. I have a VPN and certain webways that can avoid much of the censorship, but it's not going to simply stop there. But also, no amount of voting, writing to politicians, or campaigning will stop the growing authoritarianism that's been going on for decades upon decades in this country. It may "slow" it, but it won't stop it. The only way to stop authoritarianism is to actively resist it - to seek alternatives, to disobey, to deny the State's authority in every aspect of life. It won't stop at banning TikTok.

The RESTRICT Act in the US is NOT about TikTok or the parent company ByteDance. That's the cover. 

The RESTRICT ACT allows the Secretary of Commerce to decide if another country is a foreign adversary and can then put us in a cyber war with that country or regime.

‪Ive known tiktok was a psyops machine. Perfected to make people addicted. Collecting our likes, keeping track of our comments, they can weaponize our fave hobbyists, our fave tiktok comedians, targeting specific groups of people. Terrifying‬

People identifying as animals is fucking dumb, like get help please

God tiktok is a HUGE mistake

Just because you hate something doesn't mean it should be banned. If tik tok gets banned then that gives precedent for anything that gathers information similarly to be banned as well. While this may sound good, if you think the government will only use this for banning Predatory apps, you're stupid. Almost everything web 2.0 is bannable according to that bill, and the government will use this to ban things IT doesn't agree with. If tik tok gets banned now for the reasons proposed, it will open a huge loophole that will completely undermine free speech in the us. Banning tik tok is the first step to completely destroying our ability to fight back.

hey since it's coming up again: no it's not a good thing that the government wants to ban tiktok. no you should not be glad that the government might ban tiktok. no you should not respond to this with "good riddance" or "hurry up I hate that app". I should not have to explain this to you but the government banning a social media app is still a bad thing even if you don't like the UI or booktok or having to say "unalive" or how you think it's killing the very notion of attention spans. It's still bad. It's bad.
