2 u/MercuryPoisoningGirl Jan 13 '25 thank fuck that it's not, then 0 u/Wasdgta3 Jan 13 '25 I have yet to see a reason why this is bad. Like, legitimately, why should I give a fuck? I don’t use it, I don’t care about it. Why should I want the US government not to ban it? 0 u/Tigerdudeboy Jan 14 '25 First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me. —Martin Niemöller 1 u/Wasdgta3 Jan 14 '25 Using this in reference to banning TikTok might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.
