Utah has been talking about doing the same thing to Tiktok.
I really don’t know what to think on this. If the chinese are really spying on us by way of it then it should be banned. I just don’t know what the chinese would get out of watching a bunch of mentally ill trans people rant all the time.
“I really don’t know what to think on this. If the chinese are really spying on us by way of it then it should be banned.”
Here is the thing... Our own government is already spying on us even more than Tik Tok and China. So it is no worse than any of the other apps our government already has backdoors to. But it is dangerous to hand our government the power to ban websites and platforms. You can bet they will find a reason to ban even innocent sites based on their own twisted guidelines.
All browsers, phones, and apps have parental controls to block questionable content. If folks are worried about their kids then spend a few minutes to set the parental controls. It is that easy and our 1st amendment rights are not threatened with laws that will be abused against the people at some point.
