People were sarcastically making the comment about sharing their data with the Chinese government. AFAIK there has been zero evidence that this had been happening in the first place.
It's definitely happening, but it's not why tiktok was banned. The government doesn't care who gets your data.
I do find it kinda funny that that the US gov. Was using "CCP propaganda" as an excuse to ban a platform of expression, and now many of those users have begun using an app that actually has a history of defending the CCP
Xi's 50 Cent Army will be kept busy.
idk, pixelfed is doing great.
Personally I just like the fuck you energy behind it all.
Where were people's protests & complaints when the US government were first proposing the ban?
This anti-China sentiment is just dumb our politicians are just holding everything back, when we should be working with China for the betterment of the planet. They've always been responsible for making technology accessible, and every day.
The tiktok ban was never about China. It was about killing off a dissent medium.
