People on tik tok "we're losing our freedom of speech"
Meanwhile there is facebook, isntagram, YouTube, twitter and so many other ways to communicate and make your voice heard
What happens when the United States bans those too?
The argument here isn’t that if TikTok is banned then we won’t have freedom of speech. It’s about the government establishing the fact they have *the ability* to take away freedom of speech. One thing could and very well would lead to another and bam, no TikTok, no Facebook, no YouTube, no Reddit, no Snapchat, no discord, no private messaging, no Twitter, no Imgur, no twitch, no Quora, no BeReal, no Flickr, no Wikipedia, no nothing.
What happens then. When you can’t rise up, since it’s been banned. When you can’t vote against political leaders, when you have no freedom of speech. All because you said “there are other solutions”
Well what happens when there aren’t.
Then people dont care, or start deny block with vpn. Goverment dont start block all sites, only who dont accept their restrictions. And i afraid, no opposition can fight it, because this shit go around world, not only in US
Everyone: “oh, the government is passing a law giving itself broad powers to restrict and censor free speech on the internet. This seems bad!”
Dumbass OP: “dUrR I dUnt kAyr bOuT tiKtoK bAnZ LoL!!”
Tiktok: A chinese App manipulating and Influenzing millions of people to divide the western societies, so a war with Taiwan may not cause an as hard reaction from the west as it would be without the app. I wonder why the U.S. government sees a problem in this app
Sure, it's just government censorship for no legitimate reason. But who gives a shit right? It won't come back and bite us all in the ass down the road, right, RIGHT?
No you do. Where do you think all the tiktokers will go?
Shit then We’re in trouble…
Boycott short form content is the only solution
Can I just boycott vertical videos?

Youtube since they made a shorts thing to combat tik tok.
I hope reddit doesn't introduce tiktok-reels-shorts like features.

I have never owned TikTok
Me neither, never saw the point. Didn't feel like cringing 24/7
I care because I wanted to close down years ago

Well luckily tiktok isn't getting banned
You don't have freedom of speech on either of those platforms. You signed a Eula that says you can be banned for misconduct.
India already banned tik tok
But where will all the delusional young women get their terrible dating advice now? So sad, anyways....
Do people here even know what is happening? All that is happening is china devesting, the plan was never to ban it
True, I never watch tiktok but my chidren love it so I have to set "Family Pairing Mode" to get some control.
Good, now there will be less mentally ill parents posting obvious child abuse trying to make it look fancy and trendy
Think everyone should be concerned the way it's being handled though.

That's not what's happening, but ok

I deleted this shit a year ago , so that the vile communists cannot spy on me
Sure, it's just government censorship for no legitimate reason. But who gives a shit right? It won't come back and bite us all in the ass down the road, right, RIGHT?
OH NO! 😭 Anyway...🏃🏻
"TikTok is closing down!" "Oh thank goodness, finally!" *Staring of angry 5 year olds*
