It keeps going until we stop it folks. The adults are no longer in the room.
How does this work for countries outside of the US? Will Canadian and European TikTok get the propaganda too or will the US version be self contained?
I read that US users will have to download a whole new app so I’m guessing anyone outside the US that keeps the current one won’t be affected.
So like the tiktok China has. It’s like we are running full speed trying to become NK
The US… Self contained…
This is your reminder that tiktok has always been brain rot and you need to delete your account and app.
The fact it was bought by Nazi’s to spread their propaganda is just one more reason for people to delete the app and give them the least amount of views possible.
I would love to start a petition to ban tiktok in states once they turn it into GestapoTok. I mean the right is all about states rights right?
Yeah but uncensored brainrot is still better than propaganda brainrot.
One of the reasons tiktok became so popular is that it didn’t go around banning entire swaths of content under the guise of “healthy content” like Facebook (Insta), X, and Reddit do.
This isn’t even a Trump issue specifically, Biden wanted TIkTok to do the same. Either follow policy demands or sell to an American owner.
It’s always been propaganda brainrot. The CCP was just more subtle about it by suppressing content that was critical of them, suppressing content by “ugly” people, and quietly siphoning all of your data.
And no, that’s not en endorsement of any alternative. They’ll all bad. That just all have different bias.
Half the reason it was banned was because they would not put the fix in against Israel criticism. For some reason the video footage of our lawmakers having sex with underage kids has led them to have an Israel first policy.
In what fantasyland is Tiktok uncensored? Tiktok is the whole reason we get screenshots where words like sex, kill, dead, gun, assault, rape, and every swear word imaginable are censored. Tiktok is the reason for euphemisms like “seggs” (sex) and “grape” (rape). There was a time when food content struggled on Tiktok because you’d get shadow banned for having a knife in your video.
those concepts arent the ones americans at-large are being blinded to, nor the ones the establishment american government is worried about
That’s irrelevant. The claim was that Tiktok is uncensored, not that it didn’t censor the things “Americans at large are being blinded to”. If they’ll censor one thing, they’ll censor anything, as we’ve already seen with pro-Palestine content.
not talking about palestine, that is just a(n ever more obvious) distraction from problems closer to home
I don’t care what you’re talking about, your point is nonsense. Tiktok is censored. If they censor one thing, nothing is off the table.
See ya all on RedNote, I guess.
TikTok has been faithfully pushing US propaganda for years. Mintpress News put out an article on it. Control of the US servers was handed over to Oracle, who let the State Dept have full control of what to censor.
Converted, huh. It’s not already there?
Trump insiders claim
Suuuuuuure. I’ll believe it when I…actually probably never.
I can’t wait to see zoomers burn down the Whitehouse
What? I’m not sure how it is in the US but in many countries zoomers (men) are very right wing. These are the guys that watch rogan and Andrew Tate.
US media fell for it again award. This is how Trump always negotiates he announces a “deal” that’s actually just his initial offer and then calls up whoever it is and begs them to play along and not embarrass him because he already announced it, which works on NYC construction contractors but Xi doesn’t give a shit.
Like the backpedaling of Trump’s T1 phone to initially be claimed as “Made in America” until being publicly called out, not only by inquisitive people but also by a company furthest along in producing a fully “Made in USA” phone. The T1 phone marketing has been relegated to featuring a “proudly American” design.
Kind of sad that you have to root for a fascist dictator prick to keep the fascist wannabe dictator prick in check.
Well, we root for the more rational and predictable dictator.
Thanks for posting that. I was looking for confirmation or debunk and this adds some clarity.
Asked about final control of the app’s algorithm — a central question in the legality of any deal — he said that was “being worked out” and that American investors are “going to have control over it.
I wonder if they’ll actually sell the code source… that would be surprising. The best they’ll get may be just a compiled version they can’t do anything with.
Ooh! Who gets to be Goebbels?
Not the guy with the hole in his neck.
Wait what if I got a time machine
Either Tucker Carlson or Alex Jones, whoever doesn’t get shot
Shout-out to every dumbass that thought just because that bill to give the president to unilaterally designate companies as foreign companies national security threats and ban them was being passed during a democratic party Presidency, that meant the ACLU and EFF were wrong and this was actually a good thing. The most popular easily abusable legislation of the past ten years.
Don’t support government powers that you wouldn’t want your opposition to possess. They will be in power someday, bet on that no matter what. Especially stupid stupid after 2020 Portland federal law enforcement disappearing people it should have been clear that the powers of the executive should have been limited before it was going to inevitably be in the power of opposition again but nope, Tiktok bad because China makes us feel insecure.
Stupid bill and stupid people that were, I know ACLU and EFF are against it but TikTok needs to be banned, dumbasses - a bill can be written that targets a single company rather than a blanket power to block out any company from that selection of countries. Of course now that it is law, a willing congress - an inevitability - can remove the country specifics or add any and for some reason dumbasses after 2020 were like - it won’t be abused
And the reason the Democrats and Republicans wanted to kill Tick Tock was Israel. Because we have an Israel first policy just because they have video footage of our lawmakers having sex with kids and their business Pals as well.
Gonna be sold to Oracle. Which means sold to the CIA.
TikTok US to be rebranded as LikKok
Comes in flavours, likkok orange, and likkok red.
Damn you … I shot coffee out my nose with that. 😂
Burn baby burn!
It will be a shadow of his former self being run by these hacks. There are two greedy and short-sighted to run a growing platform.
Don’t underestimate the stupidity and calcification of tiktok users, they’ll just stick around having never heard of the sale. They won’t even question why their feed is now a nonstop loop of Kirk clips.
Yes and no. The people that were driving content on there we’ll leave the site, it will be like a dead Internet site, half wits interacting with Bots and AI. The people that drove interaction on that site, say by criticizing Israel’s bullshit, will leave, which was half the reason they attacked the site in the first place. God forbid Americans disagree with their leaders about Israel just because those leaders are on video fucking underage children that Israel has in their possession.
They literally started attacking TikTok because TikTokers are too “woke” (aka anti-genocide).
The real dummies are the people who join fascists in attacking them with garbage stereotypes, etc.
Nice, another of those shit platforms nobody needs is dead.
