Should The U.S. Ban TikTok?

The Chinese government doesn’t need TikTok. They can simply buy this information from Facebook and other data brokers.😂

Because Meta and Twitter don’t spy on us?

It might surprise you to learn that last year Brazil’s congress was voting to pass into law that for a platform to operate there it would have to reveal how its algorithm curates content for its users and the next day Google’s home page had a message telling its Brazilian users that the law was going to take away their freedoms and for them to contact their representatives. I wonder what country runs that company? 🤔

They love guns and their worried about tik tok…america is a joke

Welcome to America, the land of the “free” !

It is simply amazing how fast Congress can move on this issue when they refuse to move on much much more important things.

As a boomer, my question with selling tiktok is how does that guarantee that the new owners wouldn't also sell information? Isn't that exactly what Facebook and Twitter did/does?

So is America really free? It seems ironic to use a China-made iPhone while worrying about the dangers of China.

There are more important things for Congress to do than this.

17 times in the last 5 years I've been involved in class action lawsuits about my data being stolen. Not a single one was tiktok. It was Twitter and Meta. I hope this was worth it Steve.

“Hey congress, can we have affordable healthcare? “Nope, but we’ll ban your favorite video app though! Is that good enough?”

Oh please this has nothing you do with security. Our representatives deserve every single uncomfortable call

The US should not ban TikTok, but they should severely restrict the data mining all social media platforms abuse.

US is worried China is doing with TikTok what we do with Google, Facebook, Twitter, and every other website that contains ads....

And of course the fact TikTok has been showing everyone what's actually happening in Gaza has nothing to do with this bill, right?

I wish people could get as motivated to call representatives and congress members about issues like climate change, sexual rights, and gun violence as they are about TikTok. I'm a millennial and I think a lot of my peers have lost track of where their priorities should be. I absolutely don't think TikTok should be banned, but I hope this stimulates those who are calling about the bill to call about more critical topics too.

The only thing we can get a bipartisan agreement on is this…? What a joke. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I’m old enough to remember when they tried to ban rock and roll as a threat to national security.

Why not vote on a minimum wage increase? Just my thought!!

As a 38 year old unhinged millennial woman.. yeah, sure some of my fyp is trivial stuff that brings me some minor joy in this current hellscape.. The rest is about learning how women keep losing basic bodily autonomy or are at risk of losing more of it. My fyp has real time updates on genocides currently happening.. oh and thank god a kitten video to help me back up from hearing the voice of a young man who set himself on fire in protest of what is happening in Palestine. To say it’s all silly trends and unhinged women with our Hogwarts houses is just lazy. We share information, we mourn, and yes sometimes we try to remember a time we were less afraid.
