The Cookout

Do you think anything will come of this? I have no hate for artists and people using it as a creative outlet but the bulk of that platform is straight non-sense. There is LGBT+ propaganda, anti-black propaganda, and the fact that China is using it to spy on people and harvest their private data for God knows what purposes.... I'd be happy to see it get axed. The issue is, even if Apple and Google remove it in the US... People can still just download it online. I think they got enough people hooked now. They should have banned it back in 2020 when they were talking about it. I think it is too late now.

TikTok is facing a new round of political attacks from DC. Here's how experts say it could play out and what agencies pose a threat to the app.

FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr asked Apple and Google to remove TikTok from app stores in June. Experts say the agency lacks authority on the matter.

I thought an American company bought them last year. Anyways, if the Chinese government is getting US data then it needs to be shut down. But I don’t trust the US Government. The problem could simply be that the servers are in China and US has no control.

I don't trust any government at this point but I have to trust the US more the CCP.

I think Microsft wanted to buy shares in the company to hold 50% of it or something but they declined the offer.

I don't care if they sell it or shutdown the damn TikTok application because as far as I'm concerned, there's nothing good coming from it. It's not even used properly for business purposes like other social media sites. It's just a bee hive for all sorts of rubbish.
