I don’t protest so watching the government arrest protestors is hilarious. No way this will ever blow back on me!

TikTok is a platform, not press. I just wish they were banning the other walled gardens too.

These are advertisement platforms. Not free speech platforms.

That’s your words

Can we have like serious discussion without these sensationalising but dumb quips? Is there any adult here at all in this room who would be willing to have a nice conversation about the dangers of safety vs control?

Won’t people just continue using the app? Wouldn’t it be as easy as side loading future installs?

Or use it as a Progressive Web App. This could be a good thing for awareness of PWAs and for them being seen as a killer feature that people won’t buy a smartphone unless they support them well. A transition away from app stores to PWAs can only be good.

If they are doing TikTok, maybe they should do Facebook, Reddit and YouTube next.

Worse. Unless they’re going to start the Great American Firewall you can just go to the website.

It’s excruciatingly easy to side load on android, to the point where it is outright dangerous for laymen.

All it will take is a 30s tiktok showing how to side load and they’re done, tech literate or not

If the tutorial can’t be boiled down to a 30 second video, tiktok users aren’t going to be able to comprehend it.
