IG algorithm really don’t show no love unless you’re famous or at least viral
TT will at least push your vids even if you’re stuck in the 2-400 view range
But of course I’m posting reels

I’m not mad at TikTok getting banned. It’s a hollow victory though because the ills of social media will still be there.

as long as IG and Twitter/X exists, the bullshit will continue.

this really is the problem. Folks are so quick to shove a phone or tablet in front of their kids instead of being actual parents.
The justices are expected to rule quickly in the case.
The Supreme Court seemed inclined on Friday to uphold a law requiring TikTok be sold or effectively be shut down in the United States.
Even as several justices expressed concerns that the law was in tension with the First Amendment, a majority appeared satisfied that it was aimed at TikTok’s ownership rather than its speech.
Legal experts watching Friday's proceedings said that TikTok was facing an uphill battle. “TikTok is still going to lose,” said Alan Rozenshtein, a former national security adviser to the Justice Department and an associate professor at the University of Minnesota Law School. “I think the court wants to uphold the law but it is also struggling with how they’re going to do that in a way that doesn’t really undermine the First Amendment more broadly, and that’s hard to do.”
It usually takes the Supreme Court about three months after an argument to issue a decision. Its biggest rulings tend not to arrive until late June, no matter how early in the term the cases were argued.
But the case it heard on Friday is different. TikTok faces a Jan. 19 deadline under a federal law requiring it to be sold or effectively banned in the United States, and the justices will very likely issue a ruling before then — perhaps as soon as next week.

TikTok has confronted legal and political scrutiny around the world in recent years, facing outright or partial bans in at least 20 countries, as governments have grown alarmed by its ties to China and its wide influence, especially among young people.
Russia fined TikTok for not removing prohibited content. The results of a presidential election in Romania were thrown out over concerns the app had been used to spread foreign influence. Albania banned TikTok for a year following the stabbing death of a teenager by another one after the two quarreled online.
“Either TikTok protects the children of Albania, or Albania will protect its children from TikTok,” the prime minister, Edi Rama, said on X.
That was all in just the last month.

You can listen to the case on youtube CSPAN, yea Its gone for different reasons from the conservatives and liberals.
Conservatives want them to sell and Liberal Justices want them to divest and they aint doing either.
They ONLY Banned it because Israel asked them to, both co sponsors of the ban bill have said as much on record. Dunno why people still talking about spying.
The US government does not want any social media they cannot control the narrative directly.
I've never understood why I need Tik Tok when I've got Youtube. If China think that Tik Tok is so great then why do they censor it in China? I know they make a lot of money on it but doesn't that money go against what the Communist Party ideals?
