That’s what they’re telling you, and since when are they telling the truth?

[loudwaterenjoyer@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

I think aliens did it.

[anas@lemmy.world]

Not to defend tiktok (to this day I have not ever used it), but if the issue is the tracking and data collection, you could ban/regulate that specifically instead of singling out the app.

Ding ding ding

Facebook does the same tracking and data harvesting. Is Facebook up to be banned? It isn't the tracking and data harvesting.

Yeah, so prepare for battle between people who want to tell you that their empire is better.

[ubergeek@lemmy.today]

So does facebook, twitter, google, microsoft, and pretty much every mobile app development shop.

The US is doing it just fine on our own.

Hell, an election here just voted in fascism like its the 1920s again.

[ubergeek@lemmy.today]

China cannot put me in jail. The US can.

[ubergeek@lemmy.today]

The senate, and SCOTUS are verrrry democratic.

Not having primaries for either of the two available parties is very democratic.

The electoral college is the most democratic way to make sure the minority voice maintains a dictatorship.

[ubergeek@lemmy.today]

North Korea is also. Democratic Republic too!

So much good, amirite?

[valmond@lemmy.world]

Not only on american citizens...

[ubergeek@lemmy.today]

It was being taken down on insta.

[ubergeek@lemmy.today]

Bruh, facebook just changed their terms of service to be pro US right wing propaganda...

[ubergeek@lemmy.today]

China also covers up genocides... as does the US... As does Russia, as does almost every nation-state.

[ubergeek@lemmy.today]

Id rather listen to China's own words: https://www.cpiml.net/liberation/2020/08/chinas-concentration-camps-for-uyghurs-in-chinas-own-words

xD

Technically true. But instead of two-party system, they get one-party system. Decision is overrated anyways!

Hail the the supreme leader 🫡 /s

[ubergeek@lemmy.today]

Hey now! The US is much more democratic, because we get to choose between two hand picked selections from our oligarchs.

The Tiktok ban was mainly instigated because tiktok spread news about the genocide in Gaza
