I think the pro-genocide folks are genuinely shook by the number of anti-israel videos on tiktok and that's a main driver of this

Ghost Leviathan posted:They think banning TikTok will solve everything. The logic is consistent. I mean, they think that voters who don't deepthroatedly support them are idiot children who need to be punished until they fall in line, so of course they'd be trying to take away people's entertainment. "You can have your TikTok back when you learn to VBNMW, until then, sit down and think about what you did."

https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th...4029233F64B1549 in case anyone else is curious what was actually passed it's kind of funny in comparison to the one the House passed. This one is specifically targeting social media. Instead of applying to like... anything made by a foreign adversary, the law applies to any website that allows people to make accounts and share content and that there are more than 1 million users. so like. it is absolutely the gaza stuff that prompted this.

Zippy the Bummer posted:will bytedance challenge it in court I could be wrong, but I can't imagine the US government of today having the capacity to enforce the TikTok sale/ban in any way. I am 100% sure that when the rubber meets the road and the US government is faced with the active intervention in an actual business the people that run this country are going to hit the brakes hard. No amount of nationalism is going to make that kind of precedent worthwhile to them.

So I can see the people that run finance in this company going along with the TikTok ban even if they lose money because they do not like being told what to do.

the thing about "they want to ban TikTok because of all the pro-Palestine content on it" is that how does that reconcile with Twitter? I mean I guess you could claim that the userbase has declined significantly since Musk's takeover, but it's also incontrovertible that there's a lot of pro-Palestine content on it also it's almost certainly the case that the TikTok ban is still primarily motivated by reasons of economic protectionism: the USA does not want the most-used social media platform to be a non-American social media platform. And we know this because they were already trying to ban TikTok prior to Oct 7; we already had state governments banning TikTok from government-issued phones prior to Oct 7 the intersection with Israel-Palestine just happened to give the initiative a big push

I mean I guess you could claim that the userbase has declined significantly since Musk's takeover, but it's also incontrovertible that there's a lot of pro-Palestine content on it also It's because, like you said, Twitter isn't "it" anymore. They're trying to punish young people for protesting the wrong things, and that means going after the most popular platform. Could have been Twitter years ago, it's TikTok today, it'll be something else in a couple years when Gen Z gets replaced by the next age group.

They’re not coming after TikTok because of people sharing Gaza videos. It’s classic trade protectionism. TikTok is eating the FANG’s lunch. Congress already did this same game when they forced TikTok to pay an assload of money to Oracle to host content.

Ghost Leviathan posted:They think banning TikTok will solve everything. I think they're just resigned to the coming losses and are treating this as an opportunity to ram through as many lovely unpopular things as possible. No Democrats who matter will lose, and after three years of Trump the populace will have forgotten and they can resume campaigning with a blank slate. I think that's the reasoning, at least.
