    I love how this place is clapping about the US engaging in full on fascism. It’s insane how this small little media app has terrified you all so much you go into book burning mode.

      You interpret this meme as being in favor of the US banning TikTok? I don’t.

      Most people are unhappy with the US Gov’s treatment of the Tik Tok issue. I’m in favor of either banning all data brokering among Social Media, which would also take down meta, Twitter, and other dystopian US companies, not just Tik Tok, or letting Tik Tok remain.

      The current messaging is just “invading privacy is okay when we do it, not when China does it,” which is a fairly weak argument to stand on. None of it is okay, and all of it should be opposed. This just further empowers the US-based companies.
