  • With a TikTok Ban Looming, Users Flee to Chinese App ‘Red Note’

    Jump

  • This right here - if you ever use TikTok, you really quickly realize why it's so successful. To deny its success is just plain willful ignorance.

    I'm Canadian, but so much of the content I consume is from Americans so I hope it stays.

  • The thing with TikTok is almost all americans on it have gravitated away from other platforms because it has more to offer. I don't think there's a large demographic on TikTok who don't precisely understand why they use TikTok over other platforms. (Edit: youth I suppose) I also believe this is why they want to force TikTok to sell, they want to have it exist as a platform but with new management.

    If TikTok doesn't sell and it does get banned, I almost guarantee the demographic will quickly find themselves on another, likely Chinese owned, platform. This will still be a win for Congress as they'll have fractured TikTok and weakened the demographic as a whole.

    Time will tell.

  • You're right, Google controls what I see and pushes right wing propaganda to my phone. TikTok's algorithm actually works to serve me content based on my interests, and I have true political discussion and discourse there.

  • You make a good point and then draw the wrong conclusion.

    You hit the nail on the head with what they should be doing (broad industry regulations), but then you COMPLETELY missed the point you made. Congress is NOT banning TikTok because they collect too much data, they're banning it because it's TikTok and the "data" is just an excuse...otherwise they'd pass real data privacy laws.

    Another platform will pop up over the next week if TikTok is banned. What they want is to sell TikTok to someone that will change the platform because it's too powerful. This isn't to push "government propaganda", but simply to change the algorithm to not be so good. They don't want you to gain class consciousness or have political discourse, they want you to be distracted with silly cat videos and memes...and maybe a side of culture war, but nothing else.

  • It wasn't. There's zero proof of this currently.

    The app is banned because congress can't control. They want you using the platforms where you can't become class or politically aware.

  • I got you doing a silly dance and it's hilarious.

    It's naive to think this is an issue unique to TikTok. If Congress actually cared about your data they would create legislation to protect it on all platforms rather than banning one. Another platform will pop up over the next week. You probably haven't thought that far ahead. Probably busy buying land on the moon and checking the worth of your beanie baby collection.

    What dance move do you have now?

  • I'll take their word before I trust American mainstream media.

    Also, there are no boomers here to fear monger with your "sell your data" nonsense.

  • I bought a table saw during COVID. They only allowed pickup in the parking lot. You couldn't rent vehicles because we were on lockdown. I had no choice but to pick it up with my Jetta.

    People were laughing their asses off at me unpacking it and barely fitting it in the trunk. Styrofoam was going everywhere as I broke it. Had to throw all the packing material into a dumpster.

    So embarrassing.
