TikTok is urging users to call Congress about a looming ban to 170 million Americans of their Constitutional right to free expression

[Ccslim]

The Senate could of easily separate it if they wanted to

The senate wouldn’t take it up alone like last time because their email and phone systems got overloaded from people angry about the ban

I hate when they try to make it about “the people”, as if they not making a killing off the ads and sales. Every other post is somebody trying to sell some shit.

In the Iraq , Syria , Libya & Afghanistan wars the United States told the reporters what they could report & we didn't have the technology to Livestream the truth to the world . The man can't handle the truth

Same reason as my quote above.

China was scared their people can find all the fucked up shit they do on google and youtube.

Didn’t know that was banned in China

China out really giving us things they would never give their own people lolololol

They have tiktok there but the Chinese government essentially filters what content they're able to see so when you go on tiktok over there all you will see is educational, or diy hack videos, resourceful shit lol.

That wepay system they got seems pretty crazy too. But I have a limited understanding of it.

Recently most of my views come from Tik Tok but ain’t shit I can do.

I guess people will migrate somewhere else maybe YouTube shorts.

I don’t know if there’s a place that causes direct community like TikTok, though like you can’t even direct message on YouTube and it’s not really set up to directly reply to somebody’s video but it used to be.

its not over, TikTok original aim is to appeal it to SCOTUS

I don't feel META and Google should be rewarded for lobbying congress to Ban TikTok

I don't think the overall users would care. Sure there's going to be some that will want to stick it to google, meta, and the govt but I think majority will just want a platform for their audience and don't really care where it's coming from
