Comment on TikTok's CEO is feeling the pressure and users are freaking out
whoreticulture@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 months agoI don’t care about creating a track record on my social media accounts, I share personal details often enough and hop between accounts. Weird thing to bring up. Is account age the new dick measuring contest?
What goalposts did I move? I called you brainwashed, and then I told you why I said that. You’re using debate-bro buzzwords that you don’t understand.
I’m not saying China isn’t meddling, but the US-based social media companies are definitely spying. The US could outlaw the spying, but instead they have made a massively overreaching bill. It applies to any company with at least a 20% stake by people/entities based in countries seemed “foreign adversaries”. It’s ridiculously unconstitutional. And you’re being brainwashed and fearmongered into defending it.

You know exactly why we bring it up. And you know just how pathetic that rebuttal was. I don’t have to tell you that’s for sure.
Bragging about having multiple accounts for the purpose of ban evasion is a bold strategy cotton. We’ll see how it plays out. But I don’t think it’s quite the reputational flex you think it is.
And what’s with bringing up the NYT bullshit again. I already said I don’t trust nor am I referring in any way to the New York times. You keep bringing this up like you’re making some sort of point. Having some sort of conversation with someone no one else can see. Are you broken? The fact that China controls and manipulates every single business that operates inside China is something that’s been reported on for decades. Through multiple Outlets and multiple sources. It’s not something controversial unheard of or without base.
I absolutely think it’s hypocritical and stupid that the United States is Banning tiktok without at least Banning daily wire and other similar Outlets as well. They’re all manipulative propaganda ultimately. Although I don’t think we should be banning any of them myself. Just saying they’d be less hypocritical if they did.
It’s clear you REALLY like Xi though sport. Maybe someday he will notice you. But I know for sure that I won’t. Bye grad.

I … do not care about reputation I just comment on posts. You are playing Dick Measuring Contest and I don’t even have one.
I’m not even bragging about the multiple accounts, literally just explaining to you.
You complained about me moving the goalposts and now you’re mad I brought up the NYT and explained more deeply why I called you brainwashed?
You’re not listening to what I’m saying. **The tiktok ban is a massive overreach of government power. If the government wanted to prevent spying, they could have passed a law about spying and collecting user data. TikTok operates as a business in the US and would be subject to those laws. **
I’m not “grad” but I am a leftist, that’s not something I am trying to hide nor is it something I am ashamed of, and the fact that you think that’s a bad thing is not surprising whatsoever because you’ve been brainwashed into defending fascist government laws such as this Adversarial App Ban. It honestly sounds like you don’t even know what’s going on? You want Daily Wire banned? That’s not an app, it’s a media outlet, and that would be a massive First Amendment breach.
