      They don’t want to ban recipes for hash browns. They want to ban that Chinese spyware of an app. Read their TOS. It’s one of the worst I’ve ever seen in terms of collecting any and every piece of data on you that they’re able to.

      I wish politicians would focus on writing proper digital privacy laws instead, but I’ll take what I can get. Hopefully banning TikTok will open the floodgates towards building a safer, more private web for everyone.

      You see, this is my biggest gripe with TikTok, so many people treat it like the ONLY place to get information. Just search “McDonald’s hash browns copycat recipe”.

        You miss their point. They’re arguing about the discoverability of that content, not the existence.

        (Which is also a stupid point regardless, but whatever)

      This is such a weird post, implying that tiktok is the only place to find a good hashbrown recipe and therefore it shouldn’t be banned.

      I know lemme.ml is a tankie instance but come on

        thats an interesting argument ( for the sake of argument or rhetoric).

        my claim is that tiktok provides irreplacable value as a service that i choose to use.

        you claim is that i cannot claim that tiktok’s information is scarce.

        i would argue that its not simply limited only to said info… its also alot of other factors.

          99% of which you can easily find elsewhere.
