dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

If they wanna ban tiktok okay sure fine, let's ban all corporate social media platforms. At least tiktok isn't in bed with the NSA snowden

Also I gotta say, I know a disturbing number of people (ie. americans) who genuinely think the CPC is deeply invested in their personal data or what they do or believe. Like do these fuckers not realize the US govt can fuck up your shit infinitely more than the Chinese govt ever could?

There are multiple government officials on camera saying that they are banning it because they allow pro Palestine content. Seems like TikTok would have a pretty good free speech case, though of course it's not as if the courts really care about free speech. I think it least a lawsuit would shine a light on what's going on to the public.

so, the obvious reasons amerikkka wants tiktok gone aside, we've got

and i'm actually supposed to be worried about fucking tiktok of all things? i don't have to install tiktok; it's certainly a hell of a lot easier to avoid than the above, and that shit barely scratches the surface. americans fall into a xenophobic panic over being spied on by gasp foreigners, all the while a techno-dystopia is being openly built all around us.

I like that they kept the jpeg artifacts.

This is not a logical position put together from facts and analysis, it is an emotional position put together from a threat being repeatedly conveyed in the media.
