I mean, ok? Dems do nothing to fight fascism, it’s a moderate party. There is no opposition party.

The fact you write “ban tiktok” is highly sus. The bill pushes for TikTok to be sold so that it’s no longer under CCP control. The ban is just the fallback.

At least this article doesn’t have mostly screenshots of an avatar looking like yourself...

Goes to show you how much power AIPAC Israel lobby has over the US government if they can make them pass bad faith legislation because a genocidal fascist is upset about the lacking pro-Israel views on Tiktok. For the amount of user data laundering, they only feel justified banning Tik Tok when it’s not under their…

I think I can count the amount of times I’ve felt the need to comment on a Kotaku article on one hand but I felt the overwhelming need to let you know that this “I’m Simpin’ for TikTok” series of articles is absolute ass. Stop it.

Nah. Just over the last 20 years, I’ve watched one political party in the US solve problems incrementally, and the other party fuck things up.

It’s not hard to notice, if you don’t want to be a nihilist douchebag. 

I mean, TikTok is also the best source of information about the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people, which is likely the reason why the US government is suddenly fast-tracking its ban — gotta keep that pro-Israel banner flying! — but sure, the funny game videos are also nice.

Heh, I just couldn’t get the ol’ “WHICHEVER SHALL I CHOOSE” phrase out of my mind, once thought of :)

But because its China oooh scary.

Sure. If you want to actually solve problems, there’s a group of people to vote for and a group not to vote for.

That said, if all those politicians think that TikTok is a problem it’s a good idea to consider why they think that. 

Lot of good games here, but in my mind, without Ultima (along with Wizardry) we’d have no JRPGs, Asteroids was one of the greatest arcade games of all time (hell, back in the day I even played it at a local Kroger store) and without SimCity we’d not have The Sims...and SimAnt :)

The fact that there’s not a single comment here that supports keeping TikTok around in its current form tells me that you all really don’t know your audience. Or care.

Multiple things can intersect and be true at once if you consider the history at play here.

If tiktok closed for other reasons, we’d have an alternative and everyone would have forgotten tiktok in about 2 weeks. I don’t wanna be the “I’ve been on the internet since the 90s” guy but... wait.... I am that guy. Anyone care about myspace, icq, webcrawler? Let it die and be replaced by something even more stupid…

Translation: The possibility that bytedance may be selling US citizen personal information to an authoritarian regime and may be a vector for misinformation that may affect US policy through election interference is less important than having someplace to watch brain-dead content while on the shitter.

So if I understand this correctly, the allegation is that TikTok is a massive security concern that’s sending all of our user data to China’s government. And the response against that isn’t addressing said allegations, but instead pointing out that there are funny memes and stuff on it?

I believe the topic in question is that this app is a national security risk, so I don’t see how “tik tok should exist because of the funny memes” is a relevant defense against that.

Since all of the gizmodo family editors are doing these, can someone do “top 50 white nationalist recruitment propaganda on tiktok” next? How about “top 30 illegal/cruel tiktok pranks”? “99 tiktoks that induce body dismorphia in teens and teach them unhealthy/pseudoscience ‘cures’ for their perceived inadequacies 🤫🧏”…

“Bad” is a synonym for “hot”

I’m upset by this game.

Beefa should be at least half that size considering her fighting style, maybe modeled to Pro Wrestling standard would’ve been pretty cool and realistic than having only two styles of girls in that world Big boob/small boob but always skinny
