Quick reminder for anyone thinking banning tiktok is in any way good or harmless: ANY AND ALL CENSORSHIP IS BAD AND WILL BE ABUSED BEYOND ITS LIMITS. If one app is banned, then any app can be banned. If one argument can be made to take away a vehicle for information and change, then ANY argument can be made to take away a vehicle for information and change.
And make no fucking mistake, doing this during an election year is intentional. Not only will it greatly reduce the average person’s ability to see the reality of what’s happening in Palestine, but it will also reduce avenues of varied perspective that young voters need more of so that they know what they stand for and therefore who to vote for.
It will also force hundreds of thousands of Americans out of jobs during an economic crisis worse than the Great Depression.
I’ve already sent an email to my senators, and you can too if you look up “how to contact senators about tiktok ban” and find the ACLU link right at the top after the news results. It’s quick, easy, painless, and customizable. This is an issue we need to show up for, because these idiots are supposed to work for us, and they don’t want to lose their next reelection.

Im so confused as to why so many TikTok haters think they won against the brain rot just because the app is essentially going to be banned assuming they don’t win in their case even though it’s just gonna double the brain rot on YT shorts and Instagram reels and lessen the voice of the actual creators on that app

if you had a good first date from a dating app, report the person’s profile as soon as you leave so their account gets banned. that way you limit their dating options and you increase your chances of a second date :) follow for more dating hacks!

btw i will forever talk about this and be mad about this: if you are happy about tiktok being banned, you did not think. you did not think of any of the implications of the us government banning an entire app. you did not think of any of the limitations of the us government taking away an entire form of communication. for incredibly arbitrary reasons. accused reasons that so many other apps are guilty of. i’m literally so pissed off

I might be wrong cos idk the US context so take this w a grain of salt... but despite scores of posts about it I fail to see the plan to ban tiktok as a bad thing 😅 it's already banned for employees/official devices by governments and international organisations across the world for compromising user data and um, literally being spyware. It's not like it's the Last Bastion of Free Speech either like dude just use a different app...
