Comment on ByteDance prefers TikTok shutdown in US if legal options fail, sources say
Dearth@lemmy.world 6 months agoWhat’s the win here? For Facebook and cable news? Because it looks like another example of the American government strong all over the 1st amendment rights of its citizens because they don’t like what they’re taking about

The main win is banning a content recommendation algorithm that is influenced by the CCP. A secondary win is reducing consumption of short form content. A tertiary win is eliminating that God awful narrator voice.
There’s no valid 1st amendment argument here. This doesn’t ban American voices, that can continue to be shared on alternative platforms, it bans the CCP Government’s propaganda inserting itself in American media consumption.

Well said, although I think the first point is the only one that justified banning it.

Agreed 👍
