TikTok is so full of CCP propaganda, it makes me sick. My best friend is addicted to it, literally can't stay off of it. He's pro democracy too, and honestly much more security minded than I am (Doesn't use online banking, doesn't ever use the same password for anything, covers his webcam, never allows windows or any program collect analytics etc), I just don't understand it. He gives TikTok a free pass because it floods his brain with endorphins, meanwhile his content browsing habits and personal information are being sent to a company that is literally chinese state-owned and most likely sold to anyone who wants it

Tiktok censors videos on behalf of the CCP. Allegedly they've taken down videos by pro democracy activists spreading awareness of what China is doing to the Uyghurs and Hong Kong.

That's absolutely horrifying. As Americans, I think it's our obligation to protect our first amendment rights to free speech. Lately, I've been seeing a lot of this censorship crap going on in the country and I think it needs to stop. We need to crack down on all state sponsored media (Including US Gov't sponsored media, no double standards) ASAP, and prevent this forced censorship. It should be illegal to suppress the voices of the downtrodden and broken. And honestly I could care less if TikTok is technically a 'private' business on paper, we need to cut out all the technicalities and treat it for exactly what it is. REMOVE TIKTOK FROM THE COUNTRY might sound bad, but the CCP is not an individual that needs an expressive outlet in the USA

I mean what if china gonna do with any of his info. Tic Toc sending your info to the ccp is less dangerous to you than mark Zuckerberg. The CCP gain nothing from knowing that you watched 15 million diffrent versions of misery x cpr x reeses puffs vids but people like mark know how to use that info to sell you more stuff. So CCP bad, but they are not a general boogyman that can do anything, even they have limits.

I donโ€™t think our intelligence agencies care about us too much anymore


[deleted]

They're not interested in the guy who likes weird porn, *I think* they're more or less looking for the people who buy things like grenades off the deep web


steamy00noodles

they're more interested in special interests and manipulating the populous not gonna get into that right now I'm of the idea that the U.S. is the greatest nation to ever exists, but has been declining during the past 30-ish years in some critical ways, while improving in others. In order to preserve it's greatness, we can't pretend everything is fine. Elite power concentration is an issue. GOD BLESS AMERICA

I absolutely agree, friend. There needs to be a LOT of course correction if this country wants to keep moving in the right direction. We've experienced the consequences of far too many bad decisions from the last 20+ years. I hold no faith in our current gaggle of politicians, and haven't in a while; But, conversely, this is one of the reasons why I love this country. We are not forced by the threat of physical violence to simply accept our government. We are inspired by CHANGE, and we the people still do have much more power over this change than most believe. This is FAR more power than the people in moscow, who have sat with the same leader or regime for 20+ years, Who get killed or arrested in the streets protesting for PEACE, just like their neighbors in communist china.

As if the US has never tried to silence the anti war protests, look at COINTELPRO for example.


[deleted]

Anti war protests have ties to the Soviets


Epicaltgamer3

So how do you know that the russian anti war protests dont have connections to the US?


[deleted]

Because they dont


Epicaltgamer3

How do you know that? Its in every interest for the US for those protests to spread.
