Imagine cheering that your government decided witch social media are you allowed to use.

[-] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago

Well yeah, but it's the US government which hasn't ever done anything problematic before. I'm sure it's for everyone's best interest. /S

Which if that were true, still wouldn't matter.

[-] frayedpickles@lemmy.cafe 1 points 2 weeks ago

Im assuming your point is that if the us government does 1 bad thing, every move it makes is bad? If not, what is your point?

[-] Goldmage263@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

Uhh. The user is saying that the US government has a long history of both corruption and abuse of power. Source: I am American.

This meme brought to you by some poor CIA agent

Imagine ~~using~~ ~~being unfathomably addicted to~~ trusting an app parented and developed in a country where you can't criticize your leaders.

[-] PresidentCamacho@lemm.ee 28 points 2 weeks ago

Imagine trusting an app owned by billionaires that just paid off the government to remove their competition.

You're an idiot if you trust any social media platform at this point.

You do know that it's illegal to be a socialist and hold any kind of government job in the United States? Brother we are in that country right now. But let's keep hearing you bitch about China.

Haters will say it's fake: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_Control_Act_of_1954

Links wiki article to anti-communist measures taken in 1954

[-] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, but also note that it hasn't been recinded, and our current Supreme Court has a soft spot for digging up forgotten legislation.

[-] JargonWagon@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Fair point that it hasn't been rescinded, but I'm struggling to find any convictions based on this law or citations of this law ever being used in court, so it really does not seem relevant nowadays. If anyone can dig up any and reference them here, I'll gladly edit this comment to reflect that information.

There are laws from 1700s that haven't been rescinded but also bear no relevance to the modern day. California just changed old legal language stating that marriage was defined as being between a man and woman, but gay marriage has been legal for a long time now.

[-] SmilingSolaris@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Brother, that is still the laws on the books. Age does not matter. Do you really not understand that? Do you think laws expire? Did you choose to not understand? What's your deal? You live inside your own nightmare.

[-] emmy67@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah. American apps are trash like that

[-] recreationalcatheter@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

So are the xinny apps

Two things can be bad at once you dipshit ๐Ÿ˜˜

[-] emmy67@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Touch a nerve did I?

[-] daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

As an adult, that's my choice to make, not the government.

Technical possibilities to circumvent a law are not part of my argument here.

TikTok will not be banned. People are delusional.
