Montana becomes first state to completely ban TikTok

[frigidweirdo]

Bingo. And what kind of spying are the Chinese going to get out of this app? People liking stupid dances or trends? Recipes? Life hacks? Fitness influencers who tell you how to work out? Amateur porn stars that charge lonely men $X.99 to subscribe to their..."wares"? LOL Doesn't seem a very good way of gathering information.

Disclaimer. I know nothing of Tik-Tok.

What kind of spying do you think the Chinese could get out of such an app? Not much. It's more about viewing behavior and people behavior.

Spying isn't the worry. The info that TikTok collects is mostly pointless. Where it's dangerous is the ability to control what people say.

Say for example someone posts a video about the Tiananmen Square thing. TikTok will make sure hardly anyone sees it. If someone makes a video about China being bad, TikTok will make sure hardly anyone will see it. That's the influence they have. That's far worse.

“Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte signed a bill Wednesday banning TikTok in the state.”

Clearly un-Constitutional, conservatives will attempt to defend it regardless.

Tik Tok is apparently controlled by our Red Chinese enemies. During WW2, the government didn't allow German propaganda to be spread in Montana either.

Wow. Yet another example of the right acting like Democrats, but only in your mind.

China doesnt have a 1st amendment.

So? Who cares? China doesnt get 1st amendment rights in the US during peace time either.

China doesnt have a 1st amendment.

Montana isn’t in China.

It's got nothing to do with the 1st amendment, dumbass.

Go make another TikTok of you sucking Mao's cock, commie scuzball.

MT does.

How does the Govt enforce this?

Do you support them doing random phone checks by the police to see if someone has TikTok on their phone?

What 'Chinese propoganda' is on tiktok that isn't everywhere else, too?

Democrats censor public opinions they don't agree with. They censor political adversaries. They censor conservatives. But now they have a problem censoring commie bastards who are hell bent on turning the US into a third world country? Democrats are idiots with double standards.

MT is in the US, not China...

 

[pknopp]

This would be like banning farting in public. 100% unenforceable on the public and as noted, it's never going to stand anyway.

It does help one understand how cults get started.

I have faith the courts will disagree with you.

Would you support the Fed Govt banning Twitter in the US

Why ban Twitter? If Twitter is doing what Tik Tok does with our information, then yes, ban them too.
