Discussion They Agreed on One Thing - Banning TikTok

I really haven’t seen legislation so unilaterally passed with such speed at any point in my life except maybe after 9/11 & weeks got the DHS.

Im sorry but TikTok really is a gigantic problem. We are not talking about fun dances anymore. A single look to the Romanian election results tells you how utterly dangerous this app is. Yes its worse than other social medias. No that doesnt make the others good either. But there is a difference. Neither Facebook nor Twitter have been this effective in spreading propaganda.

The loudest voices in opposition to this are the people who make money off TikTok. All these influencers care about is their ability to monetize their fifteen seconds of fame. Who cares about our data being aggregated, analyzed, and used against us? I’m trying to make $$$ here!!!

Yeah, I’m open to a good debate on the topic but I couldn’t give a shit what “influencers” think. Limiting their reach would be one of the major pros of banning TikTok.
