More publicity for trump as the goodguy. 😂

Or they are afraid of Tiktok users flocking to Rednote that is directly controlled by China.

    Obviously the idea is get it sold to musk or zuck.
    Anyone with brain can see this

      jerem06, 10 hours agoYou find bullshit everywhere, including on television. Free... moreExactly like that.
      Bullcrap exist since exist newspaper and radio.
      If there were no rumors even news have nothing to write about and thus noone will buy and noone will sell.
      Spreading rumors or false information were common since dark age to distract those who should be afraid.
      Radio, TV, Internet, advertising and many else is the same.

        DT in 2020: ban TikTok!
        Zuck: YES!
        DT in 2025: well actually I talked with Xi and we managed to get a deal on something, so, my bad.
        Zuck: wait, what? Oh come on.

                while i dont like tiktok, i think banning tiktok is exaggerated. and tiktok has 170m users in US, lot of people doing content and making money from its, banning them gonna hit US already fragile economy. and democrats is so stupid handling golden plate for trump to do W moves. and he is winning election because he has higher young voters vote compare to his first term and tiktok is the main contribution to that.
                bytedance need china goverment approval to sell tiktok, and i can already see china gonna use tiktok to negotiate trade wars. tiktok not really as precious as huawei, so handling to US and getting no new tariff is win for china tbh.

In the meantime info graphic is as it goes. It's really, really how you use it and learning ain't prime area of interest for most people. Yes we are getting more stupid every time we move from kraft work (doing it on our own) to automated to a point we forget to do it on our own or never learn. And yes it's hard (cognitive and otherwise) work to learn to do it; good, proper, efficient... You see the pattern. It goes up to basic social behaviour. Unfortunately only minority actually develop new interests thanks to it.
                  We already reached the level when technical is been considered as modern jewelry and there are concerns how tomorrow it could consume and enslave (by enormous amount of energy needed to upkeep and further progress it) us.

                    Eat your heart out, haters.

                    If you don't like the app, then don't use it. No one is forcing you to use it.

                      Some people might argue that people are dumber and more violent than they were decades ago. I don't think society is more emotionally intelligent.

                        As expected. You don't ban something that generates over $24 billion US dollars for the US economy in 2023 alone.

                              Nameless, 10 hours agoOK, BS watchers you can continue to get dumber.That's just what you believe but in reality there is no data to back it up. In the 90s, playing video games said to make people dumb and violent. In the 80s, watching TV said to make people dumb. Pretty sure you have done one or all of those activities in the past. So, are you dumber from doing all that?

                                Mean while i am using a host page to block tiktok and other brainwashing services in my network.
