Ban TikTok already. Can someone tell me why this isn’t a good idea?
So you see this as specifically a tiktok problem and not a tech problem? Do you think it won't/hasn't happened elsewhere, and will be only a tiktok problem? I don't use tiktok, or care about it but I feel like every problem with it is something endemic to social media platforms run by businesses atm.
Sorry, just blurting an admittedly off-topic idea. No, I don’t think TikTok is the problem here…
But why isn’t TikTok banned? It is cancer.
So is all social media. People were saying the same about Facebook. People are saying the same about Twitter. People are also saying the same about reddit. TikTok is just the main popular right now.
People were right about facebook and twitter, and arent even that wrong about reddit.
I dunno man, maybe social media aint a great idea
You're posting on a social media platform...
A non-centralized platform though
Maybe it's a bad idea for the government to completely shutdown a private business?
Maybe it's because of the first amendment violations the government silencing a social network would entail.
Maybe it's because we are attempting to be a democracy and have due process available to all entities that operate within the United States?
Just a thought.
Because its a overstep of government power. How would that be enforced? The US couldn't even manage to get rid of alcohol let alone software.
Government? A ban would happen via the app stores, like all the other mass banned apps.
What about side loading and third party app stores? They would have to patrol peoples devices.
Not to mention its a little concerning that apps can be pulled from the app store for any reason. They bill would allow them to pull any app including ones that protect peoples privacy and freedom.
...... what bill? I literally just said there was no government involvement.
You can side load a social media app all you like, if its pulled from the major stores it has lost its lifeblood. And, uh. Most apps can be pulled for nearly any reason, cause there is no government owned public software store. The company store can kinda do as it likes.
