I just want you to reread this and think about how you sound to other people for a minute.
i will support whoever nukes bytedance datacentres
It's not even a ban, though. TikTok will just be owned by a US company instead of a Singaporean owned company. Literally nothing else will change, I hate to break it to you - cringe app will still be used by millions.
ByteDance has said they won't sell, and the US audience is <15% of their monthly userbase.
We'll see, I suppose. I'm highly doubtful at the moment.
First they came for TikTok..
tiktokers aren't a persecuted ethnic minority
this is so funny out of context
Were socialists a persecuted ethnic minority?
Already they are planning to hinder open hardware (RISK-V) as it could help China and will certainly attack foss software as well.
I'm sure you understood my point.
