    The government took away your brain damage app, so you protest installing blatant authoritarian spyware on your phone… truly a genuis giga-chad move that will own the guberment.

      Our phones are full of blatant authoritarian spyware already. What’s one more? I’d rather the CCP own my data than Meta or Microsoft anyways.

        Yeah nothing of an average person’s phone comes close to tiktok. It a tally has arbitrary code execution it uses to essentily custom fit it’s spying per user.

        It’s like saying “well I already have microplastics in me” and chugging a bottle of lead acetate.

      Is enabling a genocide authoritarianism or is it good and holy?

      After 15 months of genocide why do you think the US has any moral high ground? Racism? Because you don’t see Palestinians as people?

      You are not entitled to talk down or preach to anyone. Your liberal government funded and defended a genocide. Or is sanctioning the ICC what innocent rule-respecting people do?

      Holier-Than-Thou Liberal American are the biggest hypocrites and they are not even aware of it.

      We know the real reason why it is getting bad. Not convenient for genocide.

        If we could turn whataboutism into electricity this post would end our dependence on fossil fuels.

          Why is China’s persecution of the Uyghurs used as an excuse for the Democratic Party facilitating a genocide? Two things can be bad at the same time, though with genocide and attempted ethnic cleansing being obviously worse.

            If two things can be bad at once, then what’s your issue with people pointing out how China is bad? And why does the US being bad excuse China being bad?

            First, it’s the genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Uyghurs, same as Israel and the Palestinians.

            Second, no excuses here. You brought up the Israeli genocide in a thread that had nothing to do with the genocide and did it in a way so as to seemingly say that China is somehow less corrupt and guilty than the US… It’s not. Neither genocide is excusable or justifiable.

              It is absolutely relevant to why Tiktok is being banned.

              Also equating the two is dishonest at best. The images from both tell a totally different story. You are just propagandized.

        They didn’t say anything about a genocide, they’re talking about Spyware apps. Your brainrot is showing, you’re unable to follow logic, try to stay on topic.
