The algorithms aren't unique to TikTok. In fact, they're just copy-cattimg Facebook and Elon has openly admitted Twitter is manipulating feeds to shovel right wing propaganda at progressives.
Why don't they propose a law, that makes what tikTok is doing, illegal?
Don't just ban them, prohibit anyone else from doing the same thing >

Because they still want to use American tech services to spy on people. >

So let china do it? >

What is China doing with it versus the US? The republicans would use social media to track down their enemies. >

They don't know what china does w it and that makes them wary. >

It's not quite that. It's that a recent national security law in China makes it mandatory for Chinese companies to turn over harvested data to the CCP if called to do so (my understanding of it anyway). It's a holdover from Trump's failed trade war. >

I want to ban Josh Hawley nation wide. >

how about galaxy wide? >

Nah…I want the Russians suffer as much as possible. They can have him. >

I doubt they'd suffer him for long. Lots of tall buildings with open windows in Russia. >

Doesn't even need to be in Russia. A few Russians died questionable deaths in India recently. >

"That's, that's enough music for now lads, there's dirty work afoot."
Brave Sir Hawley ran away.
("No!")
Bravely ran away away.
("I didn't!")
When danger reared it's ugly head, 
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
("I never!")
Yes, brave Sir Hawley turned about 
And gallantly he chickened out.
("You're lying!")
Swiftly taking to his feet, 
He beat a very brave retreat. 
Bravest of the brave, Sir Hawley! >

Cue the coconuts. >

Josh Hawley holding office is proof how feckless the 14th Amendment actually is. >

That's great but I don't trust his motivations or his ability to actually get it done so....fuck this fascist asshole >

Who cares about motivations when it's literally Chinese spyware? If it's gone it's gone. >

The motivation for China to “spy” on our data with tiktok is the same motivation behind targeted ads on facebook >

Right, because targeted ads and government spying is the same thing. >

Not in this case, the Chinese government is not spying on you looking at Fortnite compilations on tiktok. China is not a boogeyman that’s out to brainwash US citizens with their devil app. They have enough internal struggles governing their own population to be worried about the average wage starved American youth >

You’re really underestimating the capabilities and intentions of the CCP. >

Please enlighten me as to what the intentions of the ccp are >

I vote we ban Hawley and TikTok >

The nation wants a Josh Hawley ban >

He probably wants to ban porn too. >

Josh Hawley is a well known coward and is right about these algorithm driven brainwashing tools. 
Josh Hawley would be scared of the person reading this sentence if they passed him walking the street and he is correct that stock trading for Congress should be banned. >

Broken clock yada, yada... >

I was literally downvoted last week on here for saying it’s a bad thing that Pelosi said “I deserve the rights to continue stock trading.”
So I think this subreddit approves of it, as long as it’s a Democrat/Speaker? Not really sure. >

Oh look, a stopped clock. >

It doesn't address the bigger problem with Chinese spying.  This is typical republican "my base will understand this concept" government.  There is a way way bigger issue here and the republicans have latched on to the performative antics. >

Not because of the threat it poses but because he wants to cut off the preferred communication platform of the generation that is most likely to vote against him and his MAGAtraitor colleagues. >

TikTok is overrun with right wing crazy shit, toxic masculinity and other BS, it’s owned and operated in china and being used as a device to divide the American people through algorithms that lead you to polarizing topics regularly and quickly. Just start swiping through it and you’ll get joe Rogan, Jordan Peterson, Andrew rate or some other big conservative spokesperson spewing BS
