I found it interesting that this Tiktok regulation talk hit peak fervor around the time that youths were using tiktok to fully grasp the severity of the Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. Meanwhile mainstream corporate media was painting a very different and dishonest story of the genocide.

We need broad regulation for social media in the US, not cherry picked fervor for political reasons.

Yet they had the excuse and idiots like op are cheering on their censorship

Actual privacy laws like the Eu? Nah let's just make an american version of the Great Firewall.

That was the catalyst that made them realize they didn't have the sway to control the narrative on tik Tok and that they had to destroy it.

Problem is that insta also had the same content and plenty of folks saw it there too but the focus was on Chinese influence.
