I finally broke down and got Tiktok a month ago, just to follow what's going on in Gaza. Figures.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

If tiktok really is controlled by China they could just nuke their servers out of spite
This is embarrassing. Rapidly, the US is turning into a country that cannot compete honestly in the worldwide market. Chinese app dominating America? We can't possibly have our own app that competes on merit. Let's make it illegal!!!
Chinese with affordable EVs? Tax the shit out of them, how else is Ford supposed to stay in business?
If we knew what we were doing we would have domestic solutions that Americans would utilize. Since we can't compete on level playing ground, we legislate our way out of the problem.

What the company should do is just shut down before it allows itself to be a tool of US only propaganda or subject to Bobby Kotick playing Elon Musk and nazifying the app.
Make a last public post and an opportunity for people to download their archives. Then roast the fuck out of the fascist investor class butthurt they couldn't have absolute control, despite the fact the NSA copies like every bit that flows through the net.
