phones and social media the worst thing to happen to the world. Only feeds and promotes growth on shallowness and narcissistic traits. And completely alters perception of reality. It disconnects any real connections but helps create a small army of the worst types of people in society

Remember when you were young and you promised yourself to never grow into a cranky old man who resents "those kids these days" and all the new things they do
Well, here you are- not at all if i never followed stupid trends to only grow up to realize stupid trends. actually very consistent however technology and medadeathboy
- reachign the point many feared. countless emo distractions driving change through controllers. Destroying individualtiy and suchdeathboy
- its not all irrational old man disease as much as expereince in seeing things. what did the old men get wrong about those kids these days?deathboy
- but you have to question if giving young kids tools to video tape everything and formats that promote narsicism. its no wonder mroe videos about crimes or shitdeathboy
- without ppl helping. the culture death. think well i can film you suffer for my channel instead fo help and risk missing it.deathboy
- the pictures of the protests and how everyone filming on phones and the motive of such activity. such shallow culturedeathboy
- maybe im old in not accepting the new nrom of emo baiting shallow narcistic traits as the norm. or i want nothing to do with that dark age shitdeathboy
- well, yeah, but if you were born 30 years later or say, if you were 18 yo today, would you still think the same?drgs
- We go against stupidity, not apps! No matter the age of the users...grafician
- It’s not that, drgs. China banned almost every app from the west. (See video I just posted). We should ban TikTok too.NBQ00
- didn‘t you (or we, as europe was involved in it) call China a totalitarian sensoring dictatorship for banning apps?uan

"Exclusive: TikTok's Chinese owner offers to forego stake to clinch U.S. deal - sources"
"NEW YORK/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - China’s ByteDance has agreed to divest the U.S. operations of TikTok completely in a bid to save a deal with the White House, after President Donald Trump said on Friday he had decided to ban the popular short-video app, two people familiar with the matter said on Saturday."

I stay away from this Chinese bullshit crap, and Twitter. Fuck that.
- Twitter is actually the only social network that really counts. You don't start revolutions on instagram or tiktok or whatever...grafician
- Twitter is actually great for keeping track of stuff the news doesn't cover. Just don't get dragged into pointless discussions on there...yuekit
- Revolutions? The fuck you're smoking, homeboy? You're one of those antifa delusional fucks?babydick
- @babydick dude, twitter is used by all dissidents from HK to Egypt to whatever. Twitter is basically THE social network.grafician
- @yuekit exactly! There were still tons of videos and posts about the protests in the US long after CNN and other news agencies stopped coveringgrafician
- @babydick if you're really in Poland, yes it's not that popular in Eastern Europe, but use it anyway to get what happens in the worldgrafician
- Alright, if Twitter isn't banned there and provides freedom of speech, then it's all good baby baby.babydick
- Also, fuck antifa.babydick
- @babydick Poland was actually the first country occupied by fascists, are u trollin or?grafician
- @gayfician - So fucking what? That's a totally different thing, hombre.babydick
- @babydick so you're a fascist and hate twitter for real?! lolgrafician
- Nope lol. I hate fascists and antifa. And Twitter.babydick
- If you hate fascists you are anti-fascist by definition. You are Antifa if you are against fascism. You can’t hate both.monospaced
- Nope. Don't put me in the same basket with those retarded fucktards who call themselves antifa and do fucked up shit.babydick
- Also, fuck you, you cunts, for thinking shit is either 1 or 0. No it's not, you retards.babydick
- ok baby hold your dick, chill damn lolgrafician
- All good, it's just a characterbabydick
- But fuck antifa, blm and the lgbt shitbabydick

Putting aside whether TikTok is good or bad...is it weird that everyone just accepts the U.S. president has the power to unilaterally ban something?
Having travelled in some less than free countries, you get used to having to use a VPN sometimes. In Indonesia you can't access Reddit, possibly because conservative Muslims are offended by gonewild and other porn.
In Thailand you can't read the Daily Mail because apparently at one point they insulted the Thai monarchy.
And of course in China US apps are banned "because national security."
However I never thought I'd see the US become a country where you don't have access to something the rest of the world does.
- I posted an article, read it. It's not the president, the president just takes the credit...grafician
- And it's not a ban of tiktok, it's just a split of it, so the US can handle the data of US citizens. EU and Russia and China do the same.grafician
- Apple Chinese users data is hosted in China, for example. And so on...grafician
- It seems that Microsoft will handle the data of Western users. I really don't know if this is bad or worse tho'grafician
- Btw you can use tiktok without a user, it's pretty anonymous. Sure, except when it copies your clipboard data like phone numbers, CC numbers, nudes, etc.grafician
- all that spy shit is BS, this is all about $moldero
- But this was also the case with Facebook, LinkedIn (btw a Microsoft company)grafician
- I dont even tiktok r whatever, just seeing through the BSmoldero
- @moldero really? tiktok has access to your entire phone contents and your kids' too!grafician
- Also stop fuckin using Huawei tech also! Huawei security is so bad, literally anybody can own you like those kids owned twitter!grafician
- China's taking over is inevitable, you can thank our 1% & fuck island pedo Bill for expediting that processmoldero
- google and FB have our info too? their just not US companies, this is money plain and simplemoldero
- ^said that wrong but you can figure it out lolmoldero
- decipher my pre-coffee words!moldero
- ;)moldero
- lol...I think it remains to be seen exactly what the "ban" is...it could be a complete ban, sale to MSFT or nothing.yuekit
- China is not taking over shit. All their stuff comes from us. They just copy us.grafician
- Tiktok got so popular because they didn't follow any rules. You can't develop and grow something like tiktok in the West, with all our bounds and checks man...grafician
- Well they got to 5G first right? I agree with moldero, it's ultimately about money. There is huge hypocrisy on both sides.yuekit
- China cries about getting banned, but they ban everyone else over in China. USA says TikTok is spying for the Chinese government but there is noyuekit
- concrete proof of this...whereas it is 100% proven that US tech companies surveil the entire world for the NSA.yuekit
- @yuekit yup, always assume everything is saved somewhere these days, act accordingly ofcgrafician
- Trump wants revenge on TikTok for killing his Tulsa Oklahoma Rally.utopian
- I don’t accept his self appointed made up powers. No. He’s not even a leader.monospaced
- I’m sure he’s banning it because Melania caught him wanking to twerk vids.ben_
- How does tiktik differ from vine or periscope? Remember those died quikdeathboy
- Tiktok as Chinese cummuniat party's backing. Vine doesn't.pango
- Don't know about you guys but I'm starting away from Chinese Communist party as much as I can.pango
- Of course China is exploiting the data from TikTok. Lol at needing ‘concrete proof’Gnash
- *stayingpango
- I dunno, I agree with the ACLU here
https://twitter.com/…yuekit - You'd think one of the advantages of liberal democracy vs. something like China's system is that the leader doesn't just arbitrarily ban things.yuekit
- tha i would agreepango

I'm all for killing a Chinese State owed tech company in the USA. USA tech companies are not allowed in China i.e. (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc)...so fuck them!
But the real reason that Trump wants to kill TikTok is because wants revenge on TikTok for trolling and killing his Tulsa Oklahoma Rally.
Dotard is our very petulant man-child.

I think this just highlights how much power social media companies actually have. The US exports their social media platforms and gets /something/ back in return. Is it narrative control? real-time sentiment polling? emerging threat detection? Who knows, but it is something. And that something is important enough to consider a foreign platform as a national security threat.
I suspect that the ability to shape what people see, the information they come in contact with via suggestion algorithms, and censorship, might be way more powerful than we give it credit for.
It also occurs to me that strategic commenting (AI sock puppets?) might allow you to shift the narrative. IE. Say you've got an influencer that talks to a million people, and they get pushback from their tribe for talking one way about Xinjiang, then maybe they change their tune because they think they've got it wrong if so many of their fans are so angry about what they said, and now all those million people are getting the self-censored/adjusted opinion from this important communication node, and it's essentially the chinese propaganda, spread domestically.
I dunno if that's how it all works, but the Banning/forced sale of Tiktok certainly makes me suspect these platforms are much less benign than we think they are.

Did Trump have the ball to shut it down?

I'm guessing that the stable genius forgot about his stupid threat to shut TikTok down already...because they are kneeling again at basketball and baseball games.
