Just learned about history. Appalled
oh no girlies, I don't think we can pop-six-squish-uh-uh-cicero-lipschitz our way out of this one
so the house of representatives just passed a bill that will now move to the senate to BAN tik tok completely in the united states and they are expected to argue that “national security risks” outweigh the freedom of speech and first amendment rights. biden has already said that if it gets to him, he will sign it. whether or not you use the app…….this is something to be worried about
before u have the kneejerk reaction of “good I hate tt anyways” or “maybe ppl will go outside” that’s not what this is about! the government wants to remove an entire app with over 170 million american users (who in large have used it as a platform to build community, consume and spread world news, advocate, organize), and try to force people back to us based apps like meta and google. please think about the implications. please think about what else they could potentially do if they get away with this. this could very well set a precedent for free speech & constitutional rights as well know it, and it is imperative we are on the right side of it
By the way, the actual language of the bill would allow them to ban any website or internet hosted app from a "foreign adversary", as described in the vaguest possible terms. This isn't about tiktok and will not stop at tiktok.
Such fun scrolling through the notes to see the justification of "well the Chinese are taking your data so its ok to ban it" completely ignoring the wording and intended purpose of the legislation.
You have all fallen for the thinnest veils of lies.
Mark my words. It will not be long before this law comes for domestic platforms as well (or at the very least, spawn a domestic version of the law). And you lot will justify it as "combatting domestic terrorism and radicalization".
happy stab a roman senator day

what if we were an elite goalie tandem who gave each other hugs after winning games. and what if i sat half-naked in the locker room as cameras filmed me before the game. and i grabbed you by your hip pad and dragged you close. and you had a little happy giggle about it. and we were both boys.
