TikTok turmoil (the J.Kb response)

I, on the other hand, am totally fine with banning TikTok.

I understand the free speech argument against it, and that why I'm in favor of the ban.

TikTok is not a free marketplace of ideas.

We know that the Chinese government curates the feed. They do it in China and they do it here.

It's deliberate to manipulate people.

TikTok promoted the pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel users and limited pro-Israel users.

China is invested in building a relationship with Iran.

We know pro-transgender children users are promoted in the US and banned in China.

China uses TikTok as a weapon against the US by manipulating what we see.

We should absolutely ban TikTok to reduce China's influence on American pop culture.

And if that sets precedent in the US, wherein any social media that is manipulates instead of being a free marketplace of ideas is squashed, I'm for it.

The ChiComs and billionaire tech-bros shouldn't have the power to cureate what we see to manipulate us.
