yeah this is so getting banned and Gen Z might riot tbh

 

and then Trump or Desantis will come in 2024 and strike a deal with China/ByteDance to spin it off, which is what should happen but there's no one in leadership to make that happen now.

Some of these congressmen have absolutely NO idea what they’re talking about.  :priceless:
 

Could they at least hire some experts to council them beforehand before they start asking him stupid questions?

They're eating him alive. I don't see the app surviving. :rip: It'll be interesting to see what happens after this.

The eyepatch rep gagged him a bit at the end and the naive teens who don’t understand what the problem is.

I had a family member get sucked into Facebook pages/groups that are labeled things like "TRUMP 2024 - US PATRIOTS UNITE" ..etc and their fb feed algorithm is STILL showing these types of pages to follow. The posts on those groups are insane that so many older people have been sucked into to believe. I have went into the transparency details of these pages and see they're almost always based in a different country pushing propaganda to elderly on Facebook who think the group is US informants spilling tea. :rip:  Twitter has gotten just as bad after Elon has taken over. I have never visited extreme right-wing accounts, but I get pushed their tweets on my "for you" page all the time.

If it gets banned now, by then "something" will replace it. 

 

I agree that a spin off would be the better solution, but that's very unlikely in the short/mid term.

As insinuated by Lawfare a while ago, now confirmed by the White House. I don't think their lobbying will make a difference, but who knows.

idk how this works in the US but those clueless old men and women should be nowhere near a debate like this. they seem like they barely can manage to use a flip up phone, why on earth are they discussing something like this when they have no knowledge in the field? just sounding like conspiracy driven boomers (which they honestly are) :rip:

 

wouldn’t it be better to have independent bodies with no affiliation and actual expertise to do the questioning? and then have them present the findings to congress or whoever. bc any clips i see of these parliament members are laughable.

mte. i've seen tons of livestreams of it on tiktok and it was painful to watch. these old people seemed severely stupid and biased. also most of what they are accusing tiktok of can be said for meta too :rip: at least tiktok is fun

It's worse because clearly the congressmen were prepped by alleged experts but had no clue what the talking points they were told about actually meant and couldn't deliver on or explain follow-up questions.

 

It's worse watching it on video vs reading the text. :deadbanana4:

I’m just watching it. It doesn’t look good :dancehall:

If they ban Tiktok then they better ban Meta as well. Most of what they (stupidly) accused Tiktok applies to Facebook and Instagram too.

Everyone’s moving to Clapper. It’s almost identical to TikTok.

Ms. Clapper about to get her big debut album.

Huh? Its mindless endless scrolling format is the worst thing to ever happen to UI. Esp with other apps attempts to mimicked it and ruin everything that ever worked well so more people can endlessly scroll and see content that the algorithm wants you to feed you. 

 

It depends on how you train the algorithm, if you like garbage it’s going to give you garbage content.

Curious to know if Biden vetoes a bill banning it, would Congress be able to override his veto? Would this ban have enough support?

This is just ridiculous and the hearing was one of the dumbest things I've ever seen.
