The video sharing app faces being banned in the US unless it severs ties with its China's ByteDance.

      These are advertisement platforms. Not free speech platforms.

      TikTok is a platform, not press. I just wish they were banning the other walled gardens too.

          That’s your words

          Can we have like serious discussion without these sensationalising but dumb quips? Is there any adult here at all in this room who would be willing to have a nice conversation about the dangers of safety vs control?

              You draw some false equivalency strawmans and look down upon thinking you are so smart. It’s idiotic. Are you able to have mature conversation at all?

                  We should make an Adult in the Room bingo card.

                  Do you not want lemmy to succeed? People from reddit should be welcomed.

                  Yall are acting like Voat did when the_donald got banned and the MAGAs tried to migrate to voat. Hows voat doing these days?

          A government ultimately does control TikTok though…

              The only difference between Lemmy and Reddit Is Lemmy is smaller and its down way more often

              'Cuz here on Lemmy, only the US gov’t matters. Which is, of course, similar to what 95% of people on Reddit think
