Well, with this logic, yeah, fuck TikTok (I mean it, what an awful site)… And twitter, and Facebook, and Instagram, and Tumblr (it’s still alive?) and all the social networks that don’t belong to the user homeland!
They’re all spyware and propaganda machines.
EXACTLY!
We should really ban Xitter as well as the operator is most likely a Russian bot
Elon got a ton of money from the Saudis to buy Xitter. Wouldn’t surprise me to learn they were pushing the authoritarian centric content.
It was infested by Russian bots even before it was bought by a Russian bot
Meh USA president about to be Russian bot too
I like how it’s being banned after the election when the damage is already done.
The shitty American government doesn’t care that fucked up shit is happening to their citizens who it is their sacred duty to serve, they care that China’s doing it, and they want to be doing it instead.
We should build a Great Firewall and make China pay for it. – Mitt Romney, probably
The New Republic, Mitt Romney Reveals Twisted Reason Why Congress Moved to Ban TikTok
Some wonder why there was such overwhelming support for us to shut down potentially TikTok or other entities of that nature. If you look at the postings on TikTok and the number of mentions of Palestinians relative to other social media sites, it’s overwhelmingly so among TikTok broadcasts. So I’d note that’s of real interest, and the President will get the chance to make action in that regard.
The phrase “get rekt Imao” mocks TikTok, adding a humorous and dismissive tone.
It’s weird seeing chat gpt analyses something you wrote on someone else’s device, even if it’s something as trivial as a meme like this
idgaf what the jeep tea has to say about anything ever, tbh.
You’re missing out. A lot of cool stuff you can do. I recently had it make a grocery list with prices and recipes that matched my budget and specific tastes for my family. When it was all said and done I was actually under budget by $50 and got a lot of stuff I wouldn’t normally get.
You shouldn’t pay for ChatGPT though. Or use it.
If you can’t self host, Use Deepseek, Qwen Chat, Gemini, Kobold Horde, literally anything but OpenAI. Sam Altman is a straight up con artist.
It’s free…
Yes, tiktok wad absolutely the worst, but it speaks very loudly that the US doesn’t hold other companies to the same standard
They hold every social media company to the same equal stands. Facebook, twitter, google, bluesky, and tiktok are all equally forbidden from operating while chinese.
This is in no way targeted, like not even a little bit… honest
China, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, and Venezuela
Cuban social media is completely out of control. We should invade immediately
It is illegal to send US Citizens data there.
Actually, when they banned TikTok they also made it illegal for any country to send American data to any adversarial country including China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela.
In fact, TikTok could just sell to an American Owner at this very moment and continue operating. They didn’t sell, though. Because they don’t operate for profit. They operate for gain as a hostile foreign military asset.

I’ll take “the conclusion doesn’t follow from the premises at all” for 500 Alex
…so it’s fine if an American company does it?
Sorry, typo it was supposed to say “any company”
Thats the entire point, FaceBook and Google are held to the same exact standard.
China already blocks those services, btw.
Let this be a lesson to you all: If you report a post for a reason as stupid as this, I might just let everyone know so they can laugh about it.
P.S. This is Lemmy Shitpost. You can misinform people all you like. Watch: Some camels are actually a type of iguana. But only the Bactrian camels. The rest are types of cacti. And if you drink their saliva, it will cure your gout.
lmfao holy shit, I am truly honored that my content was reported, they took it so much more seriously than I did and I’m the guy who made the post
Just want to pitch in and clarify the misinformation topic, since this is something explicitly mentioned in the Lemmy.World TOS, section 8.
Specifically, the type of misinformation that is prohibited is that which is harmful to others. Here’s a direct quote that pretty much sums up the matter:
We DO reserve the right to remove any information posted which COULD cause imminent PHYSICAL harm to any living being
We also reserve the right to remove any sufficiently scientifically proven MALICIOUS information posted which a user may follow, which would result in either IMMINENT PHYSICAL harm to an INDIVIDUALS PROPERTY, the PROPERTY of OTHERS or OTHER LIVING BEINGS.
So that being said, you’re all free to talk all the shit you want. I’m only going to care if the shit you talk is actually harmful.
OPs shit is in no way demonstrably harmful to anyone in any relevant manner. So they get to keep talking it.
This is exactly the energy I hope for in a shitposting mod. TYFYS
Wow, any kind of proof behind that? TikTok was one of the few places I could actually watch live journalism from Gaza documenting the genocide, which sure seemed to provoke a propaganda campaign against it and pretty blatantly unconstitutional ban.

Undermining your trust in the US media and political leadership. Ergo, Evil Chinese Propaganda.
Just like American social media companies
