I really have no idea what Trump’s motive is regarding TikTok, not sure he is either but the real reason #TikTok was banned was the inability of US/Israel to control the narrative on the platform.
What controls or censorship US will have on TikTok in the future is purely speculative at this point.

lies

#tiktok major stakeholder and the guy who helped found it with his money is *the* largest #GOP donor and funds a #rightwing thinktank in #Israel to warp the judiciary and keep #netanyahu in power:

#tiktok is no friend of #Palestine

#tiktok is no friend to #activism

Never was

Anyone who believes otherwise is being played for a fool, spied on and manipulated, helping everything they stand against

#tiktokban

I am not going back on it and I hope that everyone else considers leaving it.
Rednote is a much better app.
TikTok belongs to Maga now.

why would you trade one #totalitarian app for another?

Fuck #tiktok

And fuck #rednote

I don't understand this at all. It's totally strange.

isn't it? People have no perspective or understanding of the bigger picture

Personally, I've never been on TikTok and haven't used any Meta apps for nearly 8 years now, the last corporate owned SM app I left was Twitter in Nov 2022 when I realised it was an unpleasant environment.
The only SM app I use now is Mastodon due to its lack of political and financial manipulation, although I still access YT regularly. The point was not about the pros or cons of TikTok simply the motive behind banning it. How many foreign SM apps available in US?

@lin11c @palin

to me it doesn't matter how any of them are killed they are all the same to me and they all need to die. in this way i despise this #whataboutism that says we can't kill #tiktok because #meta still exists

yes we can

and then we work on killing meta

never ever do we go "but how we kill them has to be perfect." that's not how life works nor how it ever will work. it's just empty whataboutism trying to convince you to do nothing at all
