The poor kids will lose everything because of course you can only host that kind of fucking trash on tik tok!! It's either on tik tok or not at all!!!
it's ridiculous how attached these children are to a chinese company lol. They just host the goddamn footage and provide an algo to feed that shit to you. THAT'S IT! TT ain't some special fuckin unicorn
but the kids are kids and they don't want to think about and understand that. Most on tiktok probably don't even know of or remember Vine or the other previous iterations of the same exact shit concept. But noooo, the CCP must be allowed to frame the narratives/algos and vacuum up all possible PII data!!!
now that aside, the VPN part you mention is indeed disturbing. Could you please provide the source / exact wording for this claim? I want to read more about it but can't find anything close to what you are suggesting
https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/8038/text?s=3&r=1#toc-H2669E9E74E8A43039D7E92B5E8152F38
VPN or virtual private network are not mentioned anywhere
TikTok is also a pretty effective protest tool, which is also a threat to conservatives. It's just funny how they're so against the CCP rotting the brains of children but do nothing about the black box of YouTube recommendations and every American social media platform (until they started banning campaign misinformation)
Shit, they revised it then. I remember there was originally language like that in the original 2023 version.
Currently 0-2 today for spreading correct information.
yes haha, I agree. It's not a consistent position which is really dumb.
I'm glad they revised it!! It's still good to call it out as I wasn't aware of that being in an old version!! Sneaky little bastards
