I think it’s super interesting how the potential TikTok ban could reshape social media as we know it! ???? What are your thoughts on how this might affect creators and users?

Why does anyone want to bann TikTok?!
@adrianriebelbrummer5792
January 9, 2025 at 7:48 pm
Because it is a chinese company, and the chinese government could use it as a spying tool in the US.

Because it passes users’ information and metadata back to the Chinese government.

Correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t all companies operating in a foreign country also expected to follow the rules of that country? That would include policies and constitution

TikTok US is a US company. The argument of DOJ resides in the fact that ByteDance holds 20% of TikTok’s stake.

How is this even a debate? This is the literal definition of the exercise of the First Amendment.
If people want to post their content on TikTok. Then let them.
If the Deep State is threatened by even that, then this will be recorded in the books, as a pivotal event in the unorganised majority finally realising their rulers don’t have their best interests at heart.
You really couldn’t make it any clearer. No amount of anti-China hysteria will make this pill an easy swallow.
Black pill everyone simultaneously with the TikTok ban, and the rest is history.

For a government trying to ban an app, I have this to say: VPN. People can use vpn to access forbidden apps via an ip address from another country. Good luck

January 10, 2025 at 11:41 am
Yeah, it’s pretty easy to completely hide your online entity. Even more than a VPN
@VERCINGET0RIX
January 11, 2025 at 9:29 am
They will ban vpn’s next. Watch and see. The U.S., the entire “democratic west” in fact, is taking an authoritarian turn which accelerated during the pandemic. Vpn’s make piracy harder to crackdown on. Vpn’s make mass surviellance trickier. Theyre itching to ban VPN’s and all theyre waiting for is a justification – which the tiktok ban will give them.
@VERCINGET0RIX

Those will be banned too. After they ban telegram, which comes after tiktok.

@sykessaul123
January 13, 2025 at 6:27 pm
But most people aren’t going to want to do that. They’ll just move to the alternatives like YT Shorts and Instagram because it’s more convenient than installing, possibly paying for a VPN to allow you to access TikTok.
