  Wow. How predictable. Nothing you posted has anything to do with the Chinese government controlling TikTok.

  Instead, you posted one story about TikTok in Europe running ads by the CCP, and two about the CCP using accounts on TikTok.

  It’s a well known fact that the CCP runs accounts on Reddit and other socials. TikTok accepting and running ads from the CCP in Europe is a European problem. Could be addressed by updated regulations around ads, idk, I’m not European.

  So again, you people are repeating US intelligence propaganda about the Chinese government “owning and controlling” TikTok and then posting “proof” that proves nothing.

  Try again?

  A lot of the users here are just butthurt anti social media people, not actually principled free speech or rule of law advocates. This ban is arguably unconstitutional and TikTok is being targeted for purely political reasons, not because of any credible threat to “national security.” This is some Patriot Act bullshit, but the clueless mainstream just clamors for it because CNN/Fox spends hours of airtime decrying the dangers of TikTok, and a fraction doing the same for Meta/X/Reddit.

  Exactly, and that’s what’s so stupid about all the comments referencing “gullibles on the fediverse” or the downvoting of the commenter above.

  I would love to be able to follow my favorite musical artists or my city’s account from Mastadon. That will never happen until Twitter finally dies completely and those accounts move to Threads. And yeah, who knows, maybe they’ll come to Mastadon instead, but like you said, that won’t happen unless Mastadon has legitimacy and reach amongst normies and that won’t happen without federation with a major corporate player.

  I’m sorry to all the dramatic Fediverse zealots, but that’s just the truth.

  Why are you so combative? You responded to a post rebutting a desire to censor speech from a legal perspective. Being opposed to defining any speech as illegal and being a nazi sympathizer are two very different things. You do not, in fact, have to choose one.
