  • I’m honestly surprised so many people are for it. I detest tiktok, but what precedent does it set when we start restricting the freedom to access the open internet just like those so-called adversary countries do. If it gets removed from the app stores and that’s it, then yeah whatever I guess. but if we end up like China and post 2022 Russia where we are blocking connection access to a worldwide foreign service entirely only because we don’t like not being in control of the data, then we’ve already lost as the public. Combine this with the potentialities of project 2025 or whatever and then look at that, now we’re the exact same as them.

    If the government were doing this for anything other than a power move with theatrics, Instagram and Twitter etc would be cracked down hard too.



  • honestly it’s replaced reddit for me in a good way, because it has just enough new content that I can check it before bed every day and scroll for a bit, but not enough to where I spend entire lunch breaks on it. sometimes I go days without even checking it. if anything it’s made my relationship with my browser / phone healthier than reddit.
