Aw. Do us next please.
Kind regards,
Europe
USA next. If we can ban TikTok, we can do Twitter too!
Ugh, TikTok isn't banned in the US...
No, but they have been trying to ban it.
Until they do, your statement doesn't make sense lol
As someone who hates corporate social media (and TikTok especially), I can’t figure out if banning TikTok is a legit security issue or racist. I’d love to see it go, but I can’t seem to form an opinion on the matter despite reading up on it several times.
Hopefully it is first brick in the wall, after Brazil finds it did not collapse due to absence of twitter
Unless Twitter geoblocks Brazil or bans all users who set their country to Brazil it will not be absent there. As far as I can tell Twitter doesn’t use country specific tlds or subdomains, so nothing will materially change for Brazilian users.
As someone who has some social media including Twitter geoblocked... No, this is not enough to make a social media die down in a region lol
This is true. I guess I should have said “Unless twitter geoblocks or bans Brazilian users, they’re not even making an attempt to be absent there”.
