Good, that’ll decrease the amount of stupidity in the platform for the international audiences to enjoy
This seems to be a pattern. Govts flex over tech companies, techs blackout a country instead of complying, repeat.
Good. Please proceed as quickly as possible.
They’d rather shut it down cause they dont want to sell it and let an American company see how they use and abuse it to gather information and manipulate behaviors.
Maybe they are willing to sell and are just saying this to drive up the price.
Or maybe they don’t want a competitor to have access to their secret algorithm, and threaten them globally. This way they lose only one market.
Another possibility is that they will teach users how to use a VPN, and are confident that enough of their users will do it.
Or maybe they think saying they’re willing to shut down will make some of their users lobby against this bill / organise protests / call their representatives. (This probably won’t work.)
Companies are ultimately motivated by money. They will do whatever underhanded trick they can think up to get it.
LMAO, apt name. You do know that facebook, a known disinformation company, is american, right?
I don’t recall the previous commenter mentioning anything about Facebook. Making a comment that is anti something doesn’t automatically mean they’re pro something else.
Step 1: Feel like getting into a comment section argument
Step 2: Put words in the other guy’s mouth and argue against those
Step 3: Make yourself look like a bit of a tool
Is this the best use of your time?
Yes, and they should be shut down too. though the difference is facebook is a private entity and tiktok is a tool owned and operated by the chinese government.
You’re point?
No, I’m not a point. Oh, you mean your point. Funny how you don’t know that, as an American.
Don’t threaten us with a good time!
