Regulation and higher taxes for the rich. A better social safety net and nationalization of certain essential services.
Capitalism is definitely the way to go but it needs better controls.
Can someone explain how congress should/is getting involved in a private business and threatening to ban them.
is it wrong to care that it is dangerously addicting and harms lots and lots of other human beings though?Why? If you don't use it, it doesn't affect your life at all.
It's not a ban. That's just misinformation from TikTok saying they're trying to ban it.
They're just making ByteDance divest ownership of TikTok or they will not be able to list on the app store.
They're regulating economic transactions based on national security concerns. TikTok is 100% being data mined by the CCP.
it's too big now, it's not going away IMOTikTok is a plague of society. We all should support its ban.
money and profits are always going to be a factor, and probably yes to your question, probably.Can this be a ploy to nationalize TikTok profits to the US? They force the sale to an American company and more of the tax profits come to the US-based company instead of ByteDance.
They have access to the clipboard contents and browser/search histories on the devices of their users. It's crazy to agree to that if you are aware of it. I bet a lot of people aren't though.Apparently TikTok has the most dangerous, addictive algorithm of any social media site.
I first heard this in articles about anorexia influencers on social media.
Absolutely.
I would say TikTok is clearly the worst iteration though.
All social media should burn imo.
I wouldn't say completely, and I wouldn't say almost everyone since so many are on there mostly to make money of their own in various ways, many of them legit. I agree nevertheless the percentage of people negatively affected is likely quite significant and a massive issue.The scale of foreign influence operations in American media and especially American social media are at a level that most people aren't willing or able to understand.
In fact, they're conditioned by the same influence operations to dismiss this as a possibility.
The reality is almost everyone that regularly engages with social media, but especially TikTok, Facebook, and Twitter, are completely subverted by foreign influence operations.
Tiktok on it's own reaches over 150 million Americans.I wouldn't say completely, and I wouldn't say almost everyone since so many are on there mostly to make money of their own in various ways, many of them legit. I agree nevertheless the percentage of people negatively affected is likely quite significant and a massive issue.
