Unironically it’s a huge move that will piss off a lot of people. Half of Americans use TikTok. Half. If you’re in a room with 30 people, 15 of them have TikTok on their phone, and 14 are pissed about this ban.
You know what has less monthly users than TikTok does? The New York Times and the Washington Post. Put their monthly readerships together and it’s about equal to TikTok, except you know they have like a 90% overlap. Also waaaaay more than TV news has viewers, honestly adding all TV news viewers together still might not beat TikTok.
TikTok is absolutely massive and is arguably the dominant force in American culture. Banning it for reasons that literally everyone except my father can see are bullshit is a good way to piss off a lot of people for no gain.
It’d be really, really funny if the TikTok ban is the domino that begins the collapse of the US empire in earnest.

Ban tick tock? Guess they’re out of time
that would be the funniest catalyst for the collapse
I mean with how absolutely astoundingly incompetent the Biden administration was I could see their actions being another “stepping on a rake” moment.
China is truly evil. Why did they put so many rakes around Biden? Don’t they know he’s senile?

Well Meta and Google are convinced there’s a payoff.
It’s kinda wild how completely I missed TikTok taking off and now I feel like I’m watching this big zeitgeist moment from the sidelines.
what’s funny is that TikTok is controlled by the CIA and Israel. They’re only doing this for silly propaganda reasons.
