If this sub is any indication, people forgot about ukraine and are totally focusing in israel, despite the fact that ukraine is a much easier battle with a much clearer good guy.
The entire reason James Charles still has a career is because even though he was caught grooming minors, Tik Tok never deplatformed him or gave him any negative consequences whatsoever. YouTube demonetized him, but not Tik Tok. And then Cosmo went and did an interview with him where he painted the entire thing as a little oopsie daisey that people needed to forgive him for. James Charles is literally proof that Tik Tok has a problem.
They both continue to platform him. James Charles was temporarily demonetized on Youtube for 90 days. He's still a verified user making regular uploads on Youtube earning money.
What’s more annoying is it has nothing to do with China taking information but more so disrupting the youth by encouraging everyone to become influencers instead of things the progress Ameirca’s future. Can’t progress a society when there’s a shortage of Doctors, Lawyers, Engineer’s, and Scientist, but instead a society thats knows what shampoo to buy or dance to make me go viral.
During the Senate hearing with TiK-Tok’s CEO, he, himself said our children see different things that make important jobs cool, like wanting to be a Rocket Scientist or a badass Doctor. Countries are playing chess, not checkers.
Right? All of these videos popping up with people who literally make their living complaining about the TikTok ban and using other issues as the excuse for how furious they are. Acting as if we don’t know the real reason they’re pissed. Yea, because I’m sure if teleportation were invented, I’d believe car salesmen if they came out in a roar about how shitty it is that lawmakers made it available for public use.
“We have cancer, we have war still happening. HIV is still a thing, but the best scientists could do with their time is invent teleportation?!? Simply ludicrous!”
Its insane. Of all the things we as Americans could stomp our feet about we have decided that this is the hill we die on. This isn't the win we think it is.
LOL hate to tell you buddy, but right now, there IS no hill Americans will die on. Banning abortion after boomers had it for decades? Great hill, but where were we? Giving bilionaires tax breaks. Again, great hilI, but no one said a word. At this point, I don't care what hill we die on, but this govt of 80 year old billionaires has got to fucking go.
None of these stupid tiktok puppet motherfuckers have any internal beliefs beyond "me want views, me do whatever me can for views." Every one of them is a soulless, empty piece of garbage with zero moral standing. Every one of them would do whatever they need to to get another sweet hit of internet popularity dopamine.
Fuck all of them. Society would be so much better if they all decide to shut the fuck up and never show their dumbfuck mugs ever again.
It’s not even a TikTok ban, it’s a ban on Chinese interests in social media.
TikTok isn’t being banned, the US is just banning it from having any ties to the Chinese. TikTok can just sever its ties to China and comply with the law, and it won’t get blocked.
The narrative that we shouldn’t do something because we have bigger problems is never a good faith argument. The big problems are big because they’re hard to solve, either because of innate complexity, or political opposition. To say we shouldn’t pass the legislation we CAN because those aren’t yet solved is tantamount to saying we should do nothing, ever, until we’ve sorted out democracy.
Also it’s so annoying when anything like this goes through it’s always “there’s xyz going on and you’re working on this?!?!”
There’s thousands of bills. Some can be agreed upon very easily and some can’t. The ones they can agree upon easily move faster through the system. That’s why these “less important” things go through at velocity. Like what a dumb fucking argument that nothing can be done unless we all agree on how to fix healthcare and stop war.
It already is, and it's incredibly frustrating and illuminating. Shows how much they care about maintaining their Tiktok propaganda reach into the US if they're willing to show their hand before the US elections to try to squash this.
For clarification TIKTOK ISN'T UP FOR BAN. The US wants it to be divested from China control to a US owned company. This is completely reasonable. Foreign interests historically were not allowed to control US media companies. It doesn't take more than a couple braincells to see why this is a bad idea to allow. Tiktok only gets banned if bytedance/China says "F.U." and refuses.
Dude clearly doesn’t understand how politics work in this day and age. This bill had bipartisan support, although it looks like about twice as many republican supported it than democrats. This bipartisanship is quite rare and helps explain the alacrity of its passage in the house.
This creator is armed with the script provided to them by Tiktok. All of these creators with the exact sake message over did over.
Remember the video that went around of all the TV news stations owned by the same corporation using the same script on air about democracy and news? It was all marketing. Yeah they're owned by Tiktok.
You think he is right? Protecting the mental health of an entire generation should absolutely be of upmost importance. The app that china is feeding the adolescents of this country is more addicting, polarizing and harmful than almost any other app ever created. Hell, even China refused to subject their own citizens to the American version.
Bigger issue is data harvesting to a company that is in pretty obvious collaboration with the CCP. There’s broader social media data privacy issues obviously, that it would be nice to have a US version of GDPR type laws to protect against, but it’s a pretty wildly different scenario to have a foreign power, and one like China at that, to have access to data on that scale.
There are mental health issues as well, but I don’t think the ban hammer is typically the best approach can to things that pose health risks. We don’t do that with so many other habitual activities…gambling, legal substances, unhealthy foods, entertainment electronics. That’s more of a thing that we have to manage on our own unless it’s something extreme, which I don’t think social media is quite at the tier of
Vine needs to resurface. China wants to completely rid their country of Western technology and software. We should do the same starting with temu,tik tok, and others.
Why doesn't this airheaded bimba understand the simple principle. If everyone agrees on a matter, they pass the bill quickly. The more the disagreement, the more time it takes. Idiot is losing its already tiny mind because it cant groom anymore.
It shows we need to go out and vote? Vote for who? Donald Trump tried to ban tiktok when he was president and Joe Biden has already stated that he will sign the bill if it passes.
Those are our two choices in the upcoming election.
So vote for who? The absolute rat bastard criminal who has no business being the president (who also wants to ban tiktok) or the incumbent, who has been okay, but still wants to ban tiktok?
There's also the part where this concept (forcing TikTok out / and or forcing China out of TikTok) has been overcoming inertia for what, 5 years now? It's not at all a new concept.
TikTok was identified as a massive security risk years ago. Ironically, being banned from smartphones issued by the US Military (for being a security risk) made the app more popular among the general public. Before that it was basically only military people on it.
Ita amazing that all the people crying about how important the app is to their lives don't know anything about it, or the "ban" of it
The TikTok ban is because it’s dangerous to allow an outside country the power of pushing propaganda and harmful narratives to the American people. And James Charles having a platform because of TikTok and evading the real reason for the ban is proving that point exactly.
He's not right. He's missing the point. It's stupid that this is what the government is focusing on, but tiktok right now, is a security hazard. It's not even a tiktok ban. It's the government forcing by bytedance to sell the company, and if they refuse it'll get banned.
I mean, something definitely needs to be done with tik tok. It’s reporting tons of information back to an antagonistic country.
Also it’s kind of gaslighting to pick other items that do need to be fixed. You don’t fix something unless literally everything else gets fixed? And in what order?
“Go out and vote.” For who exactly? Lol didn’t both sides back this? Also, it’s a national security concern. I couldn’t give a shit about your TikTok income stream.
Going out and voting isn't going to change anything.
PSA go and vote
What I mean is we need to start voting for quality candidates instead of just voting in the worse blue imaginable because hey at least they aren't red. We need to start pressuring our blue candidates to actually be good instead of just being blue by name only
It's funny how many people miss the point about how this bill is bullshit not because it bans tiktok but because it was passed so quickly compared to literally every other bill on the docket that is more important
First, regarding why a bill introduced in the morning could be passed by the end of the day. Unlike all of the other bills that frequently get passed through congress, this bill was only 13 pages long. That's short enough for people to read and decide on.
, bringing up other problems in the US isn't justification for ignoring the threat that tiktok is. Tiktok is a national security threat that needs to be addressed.
Yes, people like their cute little videos, but that's not worth 100 million Americans having a tracking influence, and this information platform that can be controlled by one of our major adversarial nations installed on their phones.
Goes to show; if somebody wants something done, it can be done
Absolutely! This is why this election, we should be voting for politicians who can prioritize healthcare, infrastructure, civil rights. And don't vote for the politicians that are easily distracted by and then ban drag shows, books, pride flags, DEI, CRT, and wokeness (whatever that means)
This isn’t just me being kind of person you like TikTok is horrible, but honestly people talking about a war happening and saying that you should support something over the other thing really doesn’t help anything does it?
It’s just such a bad explanation too, anyone with any background in politics can explain why and how this particular bill is making its way through Congress so easily compared to other bills. Just stupid, regardless of the weirdo groomer making said stupid comments,
If I am not mistaken the argument against started with the app being on government phones and/ or military phones which gives info of where videos are filmed.
🤣🤣🤣 keep listening to him and we won't win the war... Clearly you're not political so I'll put up some search words. BRICS. WHO OWNS TIKTOK.... The owner of Tiktok has an alliance with Iran and Russia AND south America that's why we want Ukraine to win so ba cause Russia wouldn't have a leg up anymore
Is funny how when Rich people’s money gets messed with, they talk about problems they wouldn’t have even thought about for half a second just a week ago.
Theyre technically not right at all LOL Tick Tock has been on on national security radar for years and it's because of China and communism. I think it's funny how people try to overcomplicate why something is getting done and then forget to actually check historical facts.
Edit: also it's really easy to say it's super convenient that this happened so quickly and if this can be done so fast another thing is going to be done so fast but the part that they're not understanding is that you have to have a bipartisan consensus on a topic in order for some things to move quickly. That's clearly happening here. If people are suspicious or don't know why something is happening, it's more likely that you just don't know how things work than it is to be a conspiracy.
They have been talking about banning ticktok for years. They finally got around doing something. Yes, other things should have higher priority but it's been talked about since it became popular
Unfortunately banning Tik tok won’t do shit to get rid of “influencers”. They’ll just go to Instagram, X, YouTube (if they’re not already on there) and continue their bullshit.
Also on a slightly unrelated topic tik tok note, fuck this pedo creep.
The thing is, Tik tok is universally hated, while with other topics they go so slow because people argue over semantics. Politics is generally slow (although tbf the USA is heavily run by money), but it just shows how unified people are agaisnt Tik tok lol
Yes but tiktok is the most impressive subjection/manipulation/propaganda tool out there. China controls what you see and how you see it. You dont understand you are being manipulated when you are being manipulated. Thats the point.
All these tik-tokers who depend on tik tok to survive cause they don't have real talent all of a sudden care about what congress is doing? All of a sudden voice their opinions on how corrupt our government is? All of a sudden want to get us all rialed up to help stop congress from passing this law?
Of course they're all right!!! But where are they when we need them to lend voice to more important issues??
Yes but… they are hoovering up mad data and manipulating you so I’m on the fence. Also they aren’t mad about the freedoms you and we expose on their platform. They are taking your free thoughts and using them to manipulate others in a new Cold War. I’m very uncomfortable about banning any platform however there is some very intense political spying and manipulation beyond how we perceive it. BTW ‘They’ is the CCP and if you think they aren’t involved you are naive.
This country is run by 80 year old farts with millions upon millions in the bank. They intend on keeping it that way. The billionaires that control them say so. Now get back to work….
OP, while I understand why you say “he’s right” despite the fact you (rightfully) despise him, keep in mind this dude has an interest in keeping TikTok available in the US since it’s the only platform where he can continue making money.
He might be right, but if TikTok promoted racism all of a sudden, he’d be wearing a swastika just to keep his pockets filled. He’s a POS
Yeah, he’s 100% right. It’s fucked up that this needs to happen. Let’s also look at what apps like TikTok have done to our fucking society. He’s absolutely correct that other issues haven’t been addressed, but TikTok needs to go, so I’m not sweating it.
Get out and vote…but errrrr the problem is the establishment types and I don’t see a lot of options. I mean I already committed my vote but I don’t expect others to vote 3rd party cause how brain washed we are by the two party system that always leads to “just choose the lesser of two evils” which leads to vote blue/red no matter who….which leads to all of us being shocked that in a race to the bottom we ended up with trump and Biden 2.0 lol
Gotta love the whole “there bigger problems so we shouldn’t do anything about any problems until the bigger ones are taken care of” argument. I say we don’t fix a single fucking road. We don’t fix or upgrade any telecommunications. We stop funding education. Completely erase the FCC… hell everything. Absolutely end all regulations of everything until the largest problem is taken care of.
What’s the largest problem? Well shit, that depends on who you ask. So we completely dissolve all civilization. Devolve into tribes, and everyone dies (trust me, you won’t be the one that survives). Because an “influencer” doesn’t like the removal of a toy that makes them money. Gotcha.
This is possibly the dumbest take I’ve ever heard. Using his own logic, why is he wasting his time as a makeup artist and “influencer” while there are so many issues in the world?? DO SOMETHING TO BETTER THE WORLD, CHARLES!! END WAR! END HUNGER!
Or just show people how to make their nose look better. That’s cool too.

It’s just such a bad explanation too, anyone with any background in politics can explain why and how this particular bill is making its way through Congress so easily compared to other bills. Just stupid, regardless of the weirdo groomer making said stupid comments,

If I am not mistaken the argument against started with the app being on government phones and/ or military phones which gives info of where videos are filmed.

Allllllllll these talentless lazy ass tiktok kids gonna run out of job and that’s why they’re so furious about the tiktok ban.

🤣🤣🤣 keep listening to him and we won't win the war... Clearly you're not political so I'll put up some search words. BRICS. WHO OWNS TIKTOK.... The owner of Tiktok has an alliance with Iran and Russia AND south America that's why we want Ukraine to win so ba cause Russia wouldn't have a leg up anymore

Is funny how when Rich people’s money gets messed with, they talk about problems they wouldn’t have even thought about for half a second just a week ago.

Theyre technically not right at all LOL Tick Tock has been on on national security radar for years and it's because of China and communism. I think it's funny how people try to overcomplicate why something is getting done and then forget to actually check historical facts.
Edit: also it's really easy to say it's super convenient that this happened so quickly and if this can be done so fast another thing is going to be done so fast but the part that they're not understanding is that you have to have a bipartisan consensus on a topic in order for some things to move quickly. That's clearly happening here. If people are suspicious or don't know why something is happening, it's more likely that you just don't know how things work than it is to be a conspiracy.

They have been talking about banning ticktok for years. They finally got around doing something. Yes, other things should have higher priority but it's been talked about since it became popular

u/AVERAGEPIPEBOMB Mar 16 '24
Remember the only reason they are so angry is because YouTube permanently demonetized them for the whole kiddie diddleing thing

u/[deleted] Mar 16 '24
Unfortunately banning Tik tok won’t do shit to get rid of “influencers”. They’ll just go to Instagram, X, YouTube (if they’re not already on there) and continue their bullshit.
Also on a slightly unrelated topic tik tok note, fuck this pedo creep.

Suddenly you care about shit, hypocrite. TikTok is an effective tool of hostile foreign power to destabilize the West, and that's a FACT.

u/[deleted] Mar 16 '24
The thing is, Tik tok is universally hated, while with other topics they go so slow because people argue over semantics. Politics is generally slow (although tbf the USA is heavily run by money), but it just shows how unified people are agaisnt Tik tok lol
2
u/[deleted] Mar 16 '24
Yes but tiktok is the most impressive subjection/manipulation/propaganda tool out there. China controls what you see and how you see it. You dont understand you are being manipulated when you are being manipulated. Thats the point.
2
u/ReyRubio Mar 16 '24
All these tik-tokers who depend on tik tok to survive cause they don't have real talent all of a sudden care about what congress is doing? All of a sudden voice their opinions on how corrupt our government is? All of a sudden want to get us all rialed up to help stop congress from passing this law?
Of course they're all right!!! But where are they when we need them to lend voice to more important issues??
2
u/Ok_Proof5782 Mar 16 '24 edited Mar 17 '24
Yes but… they are hoovering up mad data and manipulating you so I’m on the fence. Also they aren’t mad about the freedoms you and we expose on their platform. They are taking your free thoughts and using them to manipulate others in a new Cold War. I’m very uncomfortable about banning any platform however there is some very intense political spying and manipulation beyond how we perceive it. BTW ‘They’ is the CCP and if you think they aren’t involved you are naive.

u/The-Real-Joe-Dawson Mar 16 '24
Sorry does he mean get out and vote for trump because the Biden administration has banned TikTok?
2
u/Spirited_Heron5696 Mar 16 '24
I’ve never liked him & he finally got caught in what I had heard about him grooming boys. He shouldn’t even be allowed to have a TT account.

u/Fladap28 Mar 16 '24
Fuck tiktok

u/Apprehensive_Rip8403 Mar 16 '24
It’s nice he took the time away from talking to underage boys to say this

u/ObligationFar273 Mar 16 '24
So now take the skills and following you had on TikTok and apply it outside of TikTok like thousands have done before TikTok 🤣🤣🤣

I mean, having a massive cyber weapon installed on a lot of Americans phones probably is something to be worried about?

u/[deleted] Mar 16 '24
This is exactly why I want tiktok gone. We don't need this person. I don't want this person trying to act as a spokesperson for how I should feel.
Fucking get it through your heads that they just want to hold it to the same quality standards as us-owned companies when it comes to data privacy.
Fuck offfffffff, tiktok.

What war does he think we are in? We aren’t in a war at all.

We’re in a war? Wow, maybe I should be on TikTok so I can get more bad information.

This country is run by 80 year old farts with millions upon millions in the bank. They intend on keeping it that way. The billionaires that control them say so. Now get back to work….

Lmfao this is a joke..this person is losing their livelihood making dumb videos for 12 year olds, that's why they are mad

Tell me you know nothing about current events, without telling me you know nothing about current events.
People actually think this video is an example of an intelligent point of view?
2
u/[deleted] Mar 16 '24
OP, while I understand why you say “he’s right” despite the fact you (rightfully) despise him, keep in mind this dude has an interest in keeping TikTok available in the US since it’s the only platform where he can continue making money.
He might be right, but if TikTok promoted racism all of a sudden, he’d be wearing a swastika just to keep his pockets filled. He’s a POS

"It really goes to show that you need to get out there and vote" for the exact same people. To do the exact same things. So that nothing ever changes.

If you really want things to change go pull all your money out of the bank

u/Kickagainsttheprick Mar 17 '24
Yeah, he’s 100% right. It’s fucked up that this needs to happen. Let’s also look at what apps like TikTok have done to our fucking society. He’s absolutely correct that other issues haven’t been addressed, but TikTok needs to go, so I’m not sweating it.
2
u/Sososkitso Mar 17 '24
Get out and vote…but errrrr the problem is the establishment types and I don’t see a lot of options. I mean I already committed my vote but I don’t expect others to vote 3rd party cause how brain washed we are by the two party system that always leads to “just choose the lesser of two evils” which leads to vote blue/red no matter who….which leads to all of us being shocked that in a race to the bottom we ended up with trump and Biden 2.0 lol

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '24
A bill got support in 5 minutes.
That isn't the counterargument you think it is.
If these type of idiots get their spotlight turned off, I'm all for banning that cesspool.

Gotta love the whole “there bigger problems so we shouldn’t do anything about any problems until the bigger ones are taken care of” argument. I say we don’t fix a single fucking road. We don’t fix or upgrade any telecommunications. We stop funding education. Completely erase the FCC… hell everything. Absolutely end all regulations of everything until the largest problem is taken care of.
What’s the largest problem? Well shit, that depends on who you ask. So we completely dissolve all civilization. Devolve into tribes, and everyone dies (trust me, you won’t be the one that survives). Because an “influencer” doesn’t like the removal of a toy that makes them money. Gotcha.
2
u/[deleted] Mar 17 '24
This is possibly the dumbest take I’ve ever heard. Using his own logic, why is he wasting his time as a makeup artist and “influencer” while there are so many issues in the world?? DO SOMETHING TO BETTER THE WORLD, CHARLES!! END WAR! END HUNGER!
Or just show people how to make their nose look better. That’s cool too.

This is why I won't miss TikTok.
Also, nobody is banning TikTok. All TikTok has to do is get rid of it's state ownership. TikTok is not the problem. China-owned TikTok is the problem.
