The fact that people are ok with this blows my fucking mind. Corps literally normalised being buttfucked.
I'm pretty sure most people who are doing this are trying, in their own way, to make a point.
It wasn't about "national security". It was about a large digital meeting place where ideas could be shared, or feelings and frustrations at their government could be seen and felt by others who felt the same. Big Brother doesn't like that, unless it is on US Corporate Approved Social Media, where they can promptly shut you down, or get their algorithm to put post with specific keywords out of the eyes of as many as possible.
So, instead of creating actual data privacy laws, as they should have, they decided to attack TikTok, because Mark Zuckerburg got in front of congress during whatever case it was that brought his lizard ass in the room (maybe the Cambridge Analytica scandal?) and said that TikTok was more dangerous than his own platform.
There you go. It was never about "national security", as there were much better ways to handle that than banning one single app.
Yeah. Lemmy users should spend a bit of time deconstructing why tik tok makes them so angry. There's a bit to unpack there. Not that it isn't trash.
I don't understand why the people here who like TikTok aren't on a Reddit instead. They don't mind closed-source software on a corporate server manipulating us. There's people who want just TikTok gone, and people who want all centralized social media gone.
Reddit is not as leftist as I'd like it to be. Reddit app is garbage while Sync is awesome. I left in solidarity the day they banned third party apps.
I like the idea of decentralized social media and I trust you tech savvy lemmings about its importance, but I also have a weakness for nice communities and TikTok has/had one.
I’m.. pretty sure people can like both open source and closed source things.. “manipulating” yes. I’ve been so manipulated. I’ve been so manipulated that I think there should be actual data privacy laws. They got me.
Cool, I'd like a pony too.
