I’d love to see it banned in Canada just to watch my kid’s head explode.

It needs to be banned. Its full of pedophiles just like twitter. Also kids do stupid dares cos of this app.

Kids do stupid dares because they’re stupid kids. No one will ever be able to stop them.

That said, I really hope it does get banned. The algorithm is super creepy. I quit it a long time ago.

I’m fine with it being banned. Lots of underage girls dancing around and creepy adult men watching them. YouTube is more than enough… also I much prefer us using apps based in our own country.

Tiktok is good for memes, interesting facts etc

At first the algorithm just showed lewd women promoting their Onlyfans, but I refined it to Conspiracy-Tok lol

Why? It’d be like saying anime is for Japan only, other countries enrich the coulter and teaches us many things, I can understand why people don’t like TikTok and I think if monitored better it would be great but I don’t understand this… Maybe it’s just me but I like other coulters and like to learn from them

China is hoarding our data

Plus China and Russia are enemies of the West

Raze it to the ground! Burn the scraps and drink of the children’s tears!

It’s a vile place, I will be glad to watch it fall.

@anon84377678 honestly I don’t think that should make us closed minded or it just makes us just as bad as our enemies, I hope for peace someday for the world, not everyone should be restricted to their own little area of the world on the Internet, it’d make us as bad as North Korea where they can’t access anything that isn’t North Korea approved

Unfortunately different nations don’t see eye to eye

China owning Tiktok and our user data is a matter of national security for North America & Europe.

@anon84377678 and that shouldn’t make us closed minded or more restrictive or else we become the bad guys in my mind, the USA is the land of the free for a reason we’re meant to be free not cut off and make up our own minds not just being told what the government wants us to see and if you restrict us to not being able to use other websites or apps outside of your country you’re telling us what to think and that’s wrong

Not just kids. I must now do fine-art photography at speeds of 83 mph or faster because @Phrogflyer. I just need to keep it below 88 mph because the flux capacitor plays merry hob with my camera’s sensor.

Well I should reword that, let me say I would much prefer us using social media apps based in our own country.

Stuff like music and games shouldn’t matter. I play tons of japanese video games and consume translated media all the time.

It’s just any time we need to step in and govern these companies that do our social media, we can, because they are based in the United States. TikTok is not based here so how do we govern it as effectively? Also I wouldn’t want it banned if it was in Japan, but would if it is in China. I just have a certain outlook towards places with rulers-for-life.
