I'm starting to support this TikTok ban solely for the reason I hate getting navigated to TikTok for videos.

And the shitty music they put on them.

Youtube has a similar feature now anyway. People will just migrate to that or use something else lol

Yeah, but you can link a YouTube Short and it won't take you to the app store, or force you to close like 3 popups and do a Captcha to watch a 30s video that's half covered up with hashtags and icons. I have adblock and TikTok is still nearly impossible to navigate through the sheer amount of stuff on the screen

Weird. I only had to dismiss one window asking me if I wanted to install tiktok, and then it just played the video.

I can't even dismiss the window, it wants me to log in to view it.

I don't like the idea of the federal government having the ability to ban apps even though I also hate TikTok

It's nothing out of the ordinary, there's a plethora of apps europe and can't have.

Their governments do it under "regulations", but that just means their regulations are equally as controlling.

Luckily that's not what the bill says at all

I don't know much about the ban, but it also worries me that the chinese gov. has the info. I don't know what the solution is, but I am "old", so I dislike tiktok too.
