        Someone should really make a petition to remove that damn app because honestly even though I’m not a fan of social media, I really hate the app itself and what it does.

          oh, 13 Mar 2024World Press Freedom Index https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/... moreChina is better than USA. And you know why?

          In China, the press is forced to tell certain things.
          In USA, the press voluntarily tells what the government wants.

              Wow, it's amazing that in 2024 people still are debating whether one country harvesting data and spying and another doesn't. Let me brake it to you folks, every single country on this planet is harvesting our data at the moment, they can spy on us through our microphones, access our cameras remotely and take our data at will. America does this exactly the same as China, don't let your great magestic eagles flying across your starred flag blind you, you don't live in a perfect society, in actuality it's one of the worst from the 1st world countries when looking at it from every possible angle. This act against Tick tock seems like another desperate market monopolistic move, just like the Huawei ban. But at least in this regard I kind of hope it comes to fruition, because IMO there has not been such a trash filled platform ever. It's like seeing everything wrong with the world in one app, I really hope it goes intonthe ground for good. I know that won't change the people in reality, but at least their reach would be a bit more limited

                  regs, 13 Mar 2024USA is officially no longer a free market economy.The US was never truly a free market economy. Look how corruption, monopolies, and unfair business practices deviate the market from a free one, not to mention the massive government subsidies for lots of things.
