First video that popped up was AOC talking about how insidious this exact message is.
Damn that TikTok with it’s open algorithms giving balanced views!!!
I almost had a vomiting reflex. It is now pretty obvious that the whole thing was intended from the beginning to suck the small trump dick hard.
I never had tiktok and now have a superiority complex.
Make America China Again?
He’s literally not even president yet
Glad everyone is pointing out how much this reeks of propaganda.
I’m on the other Bandwagon … sorry to be pedantic, but this is not American propaganda, this is Trump self-aggrandizement, or maybe fluffing his ego to kanipulate him. It’s an important distinction with the type of “leadership” my fellow citizens voted for
I guess we can’t even blame them. The app got to thwart the ban by appealing to Trump; gotta keep those wheels greased.
You show see the feed on TikTok now… Half of it is just pure CCP propaganda, showcasing how “glorious China is”.
If you think this propaganda is bad, you should’ve seen the endless and ongoing propaganda that led up to the TikTok ban.
keep repeating it and don’t stop. im already seeing tiktok users saying they aren’t coming back. and i think that’s a good response.
new tic tok challenge dropped, delete tic tok (impossible)
can’t delete what you never had in the first place.
It was Trump’s efforts that let to it being banned in the first place
Congrats! I saved you from being punched (by me).
Correct, the whole thing was a long con so he could look like the big damn hero
Just like the Gaza ceasefire, this is just more political theatrics to make Trump look like a strong negotiator lmao.
Too bad people don’t realize he’s a fucking sellout to other psychopathic nations from Russia and China, to Israel.
Sorry to nitpick but Israel isn’t a “nation”. It’s more of an cult terror regime like ISIS.
to other psychopathic
nationsleadersSorry to nitpick. I know you didn’t mean it this way. I just think that characterizing entire nations shifts the blame and reduces accountability, so I’d rather we specify who the psychos are, preferably by name. And I only say this as someone who has been on the receiving end and think to myself, “wait a second, this is a person I voted against and it’s their stupid decisions, not mine!”
Fuck TikTok and fuck trump. Tbh it was always weird that he was so against something I hated so much. It makes so much more sense for that scumbag to be cozied up to that bullshit
it was always weird that he was so against something I hated so much
lmao
He’s just jealous Gina is bigger than his
What the fuck? He’s not even president yet. They disappeared for like a day total?
Reality needs to stop being so poorly written this is so on the nose
I expect reports of deleting any video saying otherwise in a few days.
This shows you how bad the propaganda attempt went. They should have left it gone long enough to hurt, so people would really be mad. Now it just looks weird and a clear attempt to make Trump look good for Monday.
On Twitter though there’s already people praising Trump for saving TikTok
Twitter is a propaganda machine too? It’s going to sort and surface that kind of thing.
A huge, common fallacy is that there’s any kind of fairness in what rec algorithms prioritize to serve.
The remaining userbase of Twitter was praising Trump long before TikTok credited him with “saving” it.
People who still actively post on Twitter like it isn’t a bought and paid for alt-right propaganda machine represent a clear bias.
Idea of banning TikTok gets floated by then President Trump:
FUCK TRUMP!! HE CAN’T GET AWAY WITH THIS!!
Trump doesn’t ban TikTok during his presidency:
FUCK TRUMP!! HE CAN’T GET AWAY WITH THIS!!
TikTok gets banned with bi-partisan support and signed into law by Biden:
FUCK TRUMP!! HE CAN’T GET AWAY WITH THIS!!
TikTok gets a stay by the now President Trump:
FUCK TRUMP!! HE CAN’T GET AWAY WITH THIS!!
You guys are sick in the head.
Oh look!! Lemmy is just like Reddit!
Don’t like someone telling the truth? BANNED!!
Dude the modlog is public, we can just go look and see that they were screaming nonsense about Trump being ‘unfairly’ blamed for everything. It ain’t exactly mods powertripping.
And it’s not true?
Please tell me how what I posted was worthy of being deleted by mods. I didn’t say anything that wasn’t true.
But that’s not the issue, right? “You can just look it up!”
How many people go looking up mod logs? They know exactly what they are doing: stifling speech that they don’t agree with.
Nnno, I think the ‘screaming’ part was far more relevant than the ‘it was all nonsense’ bit
How many people go looking up mod logs?
Apparently at least one…?
Live video still isn’t back on TikTok; which is probably the most useful part of the platform during demonstrations. It’s much more useful than local recording in case your phone gets seized to have it broadcast to others sitting at home, who can screen-record the stream as evidence.
The US didn’t take action to block the app, Tiktok did. Maybe the government would have taken action eventually. It smells like a political plan, where someone at Tiktok agreed to block the app for 24 hours as a political favor.
I’m sure this has no connection with TikTok allegedly sponsoring Trump’s inauguration party…
Any TikTok user with any sense or self respect would immediately delete the app and abandon the platform
That’s the neat part
many are and i have great respect for ‘em
You think too much of the average brainrotter
