Like, I know why it’s being banned or has been banned or whatever. I just don’t understand the rage behind to keep this shitty ass social media platform that is essentially Vine 2.0

TikTok has been the detriment to society today as Facebook was and is. People doing stupid challenges. People’s attention span getting lower and lower. People pretending they’re more popular than life itself because of their faux acting and lip-syncing.

Why keep the piece of shit?

    Look, TikTok is trash, but clearly the people championing this ban don’t care at all about data privacy or social media manipulation. Ban none, or ban them all.

    The one true way to resolve this issue (IMO) is to pass a digital bill of rights, regulating these social media corporations, and forcing them to make their products safe for all ages.

    Banning one of many is pissing in the wind, and I don’t enjoy urine in my face (no judgement if that’s your thing, it’s just not mine).

      Nope it doesn’t work that way, it’s much more complicated than that.

      “regulating these social media corporations” how? how exactly are you gonna regulate them?

      no matter what you do, somebody complains. put good filters in to only show good news sites, and people complain it’s not “free speech”. Make free speech, and you get hate content.

      also, “safe for all ages” is bullshit, it would require digital age verification, like PornHub in Florida. Check out how that went.
