#tiktok news

[southernsolarpunk]

Jesus Christ I bring news from tik tok (hellsite, derogatory) apparently some fuck ass white women made up a rumor that liberal women were planning to jump conservative women (woman who started this admitted she hadn’t actually seen anyone advocating for doing this) and now there’s a fucking war going on where conservative (white) women are foaming at the mouth practically begging to be jumped bc they’re violent and “want an excuse” (quoted) and it’s just a cesspool of bullshit that I can barely wrap my head around. These conservative women were crying a week ago bc their families were cutting them off for voting for trump and now they are out for blood and it’s wild to see.

I follow a bunch of black leftist women on tiktok and they’re pointing out the obvious: they want to hurt black & brown people and are laying a trail to eventually cry victim when they lash out.

TikTok Ban Explained: Everything You Need To Know About The US TikTok Ban 2025

TikTok is facing a major legal showdown that could completely change social media as we know it.

[jessiarts]

Look I hate the tiktokifocation of social media as much as everyone else, but I hope we can all still agree the US trying to ban TikTok here is a problem.

TikTok, for all its problems, been a great help in raising awareness for various causes. The news of the train derailment in Ohio spread there way before the mainstream news. There was barely a peep of the protests going on in Iran anywhere else before it started taking off on TikTok. Same for the general strike happening in France. It's provided a place for people to organize much easier than other platforms for activism and causes like protesting the pipelines, the BLM protests, bringing awareness to ICWA and the StopWIllowProject, etc.

Obviously, no one should get all their news from any social media. I'm not implying that at all.

No one is immune to propaganda, and it exists everywhere, even here, regardless if you wish to acknowledge it.

But we still can't deny that this proposed ban isn't about privacy. Sure, I'll give them wanting to ban it on Federal/government devices, whatever. But they really couldn't care less about everyone else's data privacy. Hell, they let FB, Google, Apple, Twitter, etc, gobble up as much of our data as they want and use it, even sell it, all with no fuss.

It's really about control. They don't like that people are hearing about these events and causes in real time on TikTok faster than any other social media or even most news media. They don't like that the increased awareness is inspiring people to organize and pressure the powers at be and corporations to do better. They don't like that they don't have the power to suppress coverage they don't like or push any coverage they do. (I'm not saying it's great that ByteDance has that power either, but I hope you get my point)

But my main point is this, if they succeed in banning TikTok, a place that's helped bring awareness to so many important causes, it sets a precedent that they can ban any other social media they deem a threat too.

And because I know half of you are incapable of caring unless presented with an example that directly affects you, say tumblr manages to gather similar success to TikTok at becoming a platform to raise awareness. They can find a reason to nuke this place too. One day they could just decide too many people are wanting to organize for change over on the blue fandom cringe site. Then it's bye-bye tumblr.

Idk if you've been paying attention, but they've already turned back Roe v Wade, with some states (SC, KY, TX, OK, AR) now pushing bills to make seeking an abortion punishable by the death penalty, with vague enough wording to potentially include miscarriages. They're trying to eradicate trans people- some (36) states are pushing anti-trans bills, with some wanting to ban gender-affirming care, force detransition, or even take children from homes just for having a trans parent or sibling. They're trying to overturn ICWA, which would allow them to take Native American children from their families and place them in white Christian homes. There's so much more.

What I'm saying is fascism is already here, and what do fascists also do? Cut off citizens' access to the outside world.

Unless you want the US to join the list of countries like China, Russia, and North Korea, who block the outside world from their citizens by censoring their internet/news and cutting off access to certain social medias, then you should care about this.

Let's not let this slide just because it's happening to TikTok and it's fun to hate on whatever is popular at the moment.

I just read an article about the potential bill in the Senate about the tiktok ban. And they simply stated they are removing the app from the app store.

I asked this question before on a few TikTok videos and it was kind of met with condescension, but I ask again.

How are they going to regulate the actual browser version of TikTok? Is that banned as well?

the things that are reported matters. the language used matters. what is left out of the story matters.

Will TikTok survive in the U.S., or is this the end? A federal appeals court has upheld a law requiring TikTok to cut ties with its China-based parent company ByteDance—or face a complete ban. This decision could take effect by January 2025. Dive into the full story as we unpack the legal, political, and tech implications of this groundbreaking ruling.
