in nepal posting in "vulgar" language is also forbidden by law, as is stuff like stating that you are poly on social media, so them passing another overreaching censorship law is no surprise.
Please ban YT shorts too.
I have seen it's true face. Social media is an extended gutter and the gutter is full of ads and when the drains finally scab over all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their pop-ups and clickbait will foam up about their waists and and all the reply guys and soy boys will look up and shout "save us!"... and I'll look down and whisper... "No."
I don't really like Tiktok. But, forcing the choice on people probably isn't the best idea either.
It's CCP spyware. It should be banned everywhere.
There's plenty of U.S. equivalents. What's your point?
He's brainwashed into thinking giving Americans his data is better than giving the Chinese.
Must not know about PRISM, lol.
What about American Spy Ware?
Lol you're getting downvoted but I wonder why CCP spyware is so bad, compared to USA spyware. Disappointing on Lemmy you are getting downvoted. For the people downvoting you, it's bad when China does something, but when the US does the same thing, it's totally okay!
Americans have been brainwashed into thinking it's better to get fucked by American companies than companies abroad.
I always know a useful idiot when I see one based on how well they parrot talking points without understanding them.

I've had it, a long with X and everything meta/Facebook banned on my home network for a while now. It's been great.
Yay! As a father, that app makes me nervous
Edit: wow just coming back to this, I think I may have just started a war
Posted unironically on social media that does far less patrolling and safety restrictions for children
Yeah but to be fair it's not like children, or even adults really, are flocking to this app.
Good.
Nepal and India both hate China
Finally...
Lol. I remember when Trump said he was going to ban it and everyone was like nooooo. This is so concerning for free speech. Now that it's not Trump doing it, everyone says: Great, everyone should ban it.
The motivations to van the app matter. Trump wanted to ban it to censure the "wokes". Nepal bans it to prevent the spread of hate speach.
Social media and mostly the mainstream ones became an issue for democracy. These private companies must moderate before publishing. We must take them to account for what is on their platforms. Social medias are responsible for what is on them at the same level as the people posting it. If they don't want to comply, it's a ban.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
