      Anonymous, 18 May 2023I hope my government does same. Tiktok makes ppl stupid. true

        The days of internet siloing by country is starting to take shape, led of course by China with its great firewall.
        The problem with this bill is enforcement. Montana would have to ask Apple, Google, and Bytedance to somehow not allow TikTok packets going in and out of the state. Hmm, what’s the best and most effective way to do it? Here’s a tip Montana, the ISP. Sooner or later, they will find that easiest enforcement is to force the ISP and wireless carriers to geofence Montana and block TikTok packets from and to the state. Voila, mini state firewall is being built.

        Many countries have done thus, limiting access to banned websites through simply filtering their IPs on country level.

                  I honesty support this. There are better platforms than Tiktok. However, dear Governor of Montana, there will be people who migrate outside your borders, download the app, and then return. I support what you're doing but it ain't gonna help.

                    I hope this filthy platform will be banned world wide.

                              nice nice. this will surely cause a domino effect.

                              now do it with the another toxic misinformation cesspool, facebook.

                              for twitter though, Elon should be force to sell twitter. he's ruining it. and causing himself a massive embarrassment.

                                Same for youtube.

                                Do you understand ?

                                  Anonymous, 18 May 2023It blows my mind that people actually think like this. Good... morethink like what? with logic? twitter seems like a decent platform, but there's a lot going on in the background that the average users dont know about. Out of all the mainstream social media apps, twitter is up at the top. Knowing what lies within the depths of twitter is sickening, and its so much worse than i can explain with words. I'm not even saying this because of the elon and political stuff, i could care less of that. I'm talking about the content hosted on twitter that nothing has been done about. it's disgusting, and any other logical person who knew about it would agree that twitter is NOT safe.

The communist part in China is another form of deep state that exists and always existed in all empires ever (including the American one). They are not particularly worse, if anything in some things they are better (they do treat their citizens really badly, but at least don't produce as many international wars as the American and European deep states).

If it was they'd ban all social media apps long ago. It's naked protectionism. Basically,y what the great firewall of China is. It's all for the dough, it always was (money rules, not ideologies, not people, lol).

The world is going back to a 2 (3?) Pole war. Meaning no "Lada", no "Zastava" for you, but also means no Tesla, no Mercedes, no iPhone for them. Ultimately it's bad for business (in the long term), yet it is the very same business that you'd see supporting those acts. Every part of history is the same as the one before it, lol...
