I've seen a lot of uncritical Americans say that "well, of course TikTok is banned it was spreading misinformation and gathering your data!" which yeah it was, but so does every other social media. The US government didn't want TikTok banned because of some noble purpose, they wanted it banned because they couldn't control what data it was gathering and what misinformation it was feeding (although it was the same right wing misinformation that Twitter and Meta feed you lmao) which is WHY they wanted to buy it on the first place with the idea that it was feeding you "Chinese propaganda" (what?), like sorry, but this was so transparent, don't act like it wasn't. Once they ban all social media, including the ones based in the US, over spreading misinformation and privacy breaches, they can preach to the choir.

#liveblogging my life #i know american exceptionalism is a thing but christ #you ppl didn't ban Facebook after it was discovered it was spreading dangerous and violent fake news about the rohingyas #as well as all other messed up stuff #you don't ban twitter which is a nazi cesspool NOW #you don't ban microsoft which keeps rolling out ai fueled privacy breaching updates!!!#like why would you think biden or anyone cares about privacy and misinformation #and this wasn't just a power play to buy this misinformation feeding machine?#like hello??#also now it looks like tiktok wants to get cozy with trump and reach a deal like #you are all so fucking stupid
