Idk, I think all these governments having trade and tech wars is bad for our freedom. But on the other hand, TikTok is pure misinformation slop.
TikTok makes Facebook look like haute culture and maybe people don't need as much freedom as they think they do.
The quiet part is a bit loud here my blue conservative friend.
You got that all from that comment?
Impressive, you should be a detective.
That’s not how freedom is defined in the constitution though. We are not in China or North Korea but are heading in that direction.
Really?
You think you have a constitutional right to use brainrot apps?
I don't think the government has the right to control what you do in your private time on your private device.
1st amendment is right to free press and right to free speech. Several amendments imply a right to privacy from the government, such as the 3rd 4th and 9th.
The government should not regulate how I make my speech. That's ridiculous to give them the right to remove how people are allowed to speak.
Good to know people are willing to give themselves more chains to a fascist Trump government if they don't like the UI of an app.
[Laughs in War in Drugs.]
All drugs should be legal.
There are already government regulations on what you can do on your ‘private’ device and what you can do on your private time.
Cool, so why stop there! Just make it so they always have access to my phone! Why would I need the right to use anything I want?
The government now needs needs me to get court approval to speak my mind to Trump. Require paperwork just to develop an app.
Surely nothing bad will happen if we just let this pot of water rise with frogs advocating it to get hotter.
You’re still acting like they don’t do this already.
So we just let them? "It's already happening, give into it. You'll learn to love and accept it."
We already have.
Giving up sure solves matters.
Stonewall should have complied. Why resist the cops arresting you for who you love? It's already stays quo.
MLK? Should have stayed quiet and not marched. He should have just stayed where he was and never be a figure people look up to.
Women's right to vote? Don't make me laugh! Women were always expected to just have babies and do the housework, anyone saying otherwise is a fool!
When the patriot act was passed, was it good and ethical because the FBI wiretapped anyone Hoover didn't like, and Nixon had tabs on every single person he hated?
TikTok is woman’s right to vote, I understand now.
Actually yes, I dont know why you would think otherwise
What is it, the sixty-ninth amendment?
‘An unregulated internet, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear apps, shall not be infringed’?
This just in, nothing ever changes. Black people are still 3/5th of a person, women don't have the right to vote, the vice president is 2nd place winner, and people don't elect senators.
