I know I'm being joke-y about it but I am actually very sad and hurt rn because this ban is just the start of the US government stripping us of our rights! It was never about security risks, it's always been about the rich dickheads in the government not wanting us to be able to speak to one another and spread information about the causes we care about without censorship.

you found out about lilith through hazbin hotel. I found out about lilith through supernatural. we are not the same
I think this TikTok ban is going to be the thing to radicalize me bc wdym the US’s top priority for the last five years has been banning a foreign social media app that doesn’t steal any more of your data than Meta, but not gun control or women’s rights to their bodies or the economy crisis or global warming or homelessness or world hunger or literally any fucking thing that actually matters?
Unknown Source.
Anyone else feeling strongly about the TikTok ban?
-Quick edit for all the people mad about what’s radicalizing who: be glad that the people are pissed off by this. I’m almost 30 years old and I’ve been in this game a long fucking time. Now I’m not gunna sit here and defend MYSELF but rather the thousands of people of various ages who reblogged this because they’re genuinely feeling something. Let people be fucking mad. How tf you gunna gatekeep radicalism? Get off your high horse-
I’ve been on edge and just angry all day. Scrolling through the app seeing all my favorite creators say goodbye and watching them cry at the thought of their small businesses failing. It’s been heartbreaking to see.
Unanimous. The Supreme Court voted unanimously to ban this app. Before gun control. Before healthcare reform. Before anything. The whole government is more worried about a fucking app.
It was never about security. It’s because they don’t want us communicating. They want to control the narrative. If you keep the ants separated it takes a lot longer for things to happen amongst them. All I’ll say is this.. let this radicalize you, we need your rage.
The government banning an entire social network because they cannot control people using it and what you see and say on it, is really a great example of totalitarianism.
There is no way of accidentally doing a nazi salute twice in a row while the entire world is watching. This man needs to be killed
And I mean he does need to be killed. I remember a time when the obvious and most socially acceptable answer to what you would do if you could travel back in time was to kill Hitler before he rose to power. That is just what everyone said. Saying that nazis and fascism are bad was not seen as a controversial opinion it was simply a fact. This was not a long time ago and I am sure the vast majority of people reading this remember this as well. Elon Musk needs to be killed. Obviously.
I genuinely haven't laughed so hard in months, but because people found out that the CEO of meta gave bribes to the government both in cash and stocks to ban TikTok, people are fleeing in droves to Rednote which is the actual Chinese version of TikTok AND leaving meta! He didn't lose users to TikTok but now that he's playing ringmaster to be funny, he's finding out the clowns can be fucking hilarious! Anyways, I'm now learning Mandarin, and I can't figure out why I can't change my profile pic but it's a rubber ducky so I'm cool with it.
what's a tumblr influencer? what am i influencing? my mental illness? 😭
I’m so glad to see we the people can collectively come together and say “fuck you” to the government.
not my usual stuff but remember:
if/when tiktok comes back,
it is not the same place. it is not the same. and most importantly do NOT under any circumstances forget that The Tangerine was the one who wanted it banned in the first place and he is no savior, he, like everyone else in government, is doing what benefits him.
DO NOT FORGET THIS.
pick up the patterns, look at history.
Don't you fucking dare compare TikTok to Vine. ITS NOT THE SAME THING
Vine went away cuz it couldn't afford to stay active
TikTok went away because congress RIPPED it away from us. It let to many activist groups connect faster than ever before; it let too many voices of dissent be heard louder than ever before; and most importantly it was more popular than Facebook, Twitter( cuz fuck that X bullshit), and instagram.
I understand losing both of these platforms hurt, I was alive for vine's death to. But don't let yourself be fooled into a falce equivalence.
Vine died
TikTok was murdered.
now that trump has tiktok, twitter, facebook and insta in his pocket, get ready for a massive wave of internet censorship. one of trump's greatest weapons has always been misinformation; it's going to become harder and harder to spread facts and criticism going forward. posts that aren't made invisible will be magically ignored by the algorithm. dissidents will have their accounts deleted and voices erased.
this is a suppression tactic. this is another stage of fascism.
Reminder for when he “saves” it. He was the one who wanted this, and now he gets to be the hero and win favour with young constituents. Don’t give him the credit for fixing his own problem.
