Question: what makes TikTok any different than any other social media platform? I can agree that a lot of misinformation is spread on the app, but social media is what you make of it. Your algorithm is based on what YOU want to see. I just don’t get the comments acting like TikTok is some mark of the beast while they sit on platforms like YouTube and X, the OGs of modern day conspiracy and red pill content

I did my first book’s cover reveal on Tik Tok, so I get the appeal for indie authors. But other than that, I’m barely on it 😕

I know it's probably impossible, but I reeeally hope a new tiktok app won't come (or it just flops) cause we as a collective need to CHILLL bruh. We all still gonna be online, but I need the amount of time online to drop by some type of margin at least.

Literally what i was thinking!!! People talking about tiktok like mass misinformation when YouTube fb and twitter have the exact same issue... It is purely cause it's a Chinese company

tiktok managed to speedrun going from a shiny new app to waste time on into a hotbed for misinformation and dangerous behaviors in roughly four years, which is NUTS!!! it makes me wonder what social media app could possibly become the next new thing after this (idc fr though bc I ain't got another app in me, chile)

kenya can you talk about travis hunter and his fiancé. i feel like im losing my mind seeing people harass that girl in the name of “looking out” for travis. it’s truly baffling

On a side note. I deleted Twitter when it became X. And I am getting rid of tiktok because of how my blue bubble gave me a complete false sense of security during the election. I still love YT, Patreon and Spotify.

I think the discussion needs to be why they are banning it in the US, a country with hilarious privacy laws, while it's still allowed in the EU under GDPR. All of social media is trash, but the US stating privacy concerns is absolutely hilarious.

2024-12-16 13:10:03 +0000 UTC
Correct as usual baby!! And I’m sure a very similar US app will take over and the brainrot will continue :/ Twitter is literally such a threat too and of course no one is going to get rid of Elon

There's only one person on tik tok I'd miss. The Circus lady, talks about racial stuff, knows her shit🤔

If Tiktok gets banned in the US, maybe it could be a similar process of what happened when Twitter got banned here in Brazil. The app was still on everyone's phone, but nothing loaded on it. It was like the servers got shut down. There were rumors that some people could still access it through a few internet companies or using a VPN, but you could be charged for a very high fee if you dit it and maybe even face other legal repercussions.

The casualness to gambling I’ve notice a lot

this girl i work with told me she didn’t like Beyonce because of some tiktok conspiracy theory about Beyonce being behind the murder of Michael Jackson Prince and more. She went on and on saying the j.cole song “she’s knows” is really about Beyonce (she-knowles). She presented it as fact and i looked at her like she was crazy. I could tell she was embarrassed by my reaction but i still bring it up at work in front of her till this day whenever i need a good laugh. Like yall need to know how crazy these tiktok conspiracies be having yall look

I hate TikTok. So much misinformation and discussion from people with confirmation bias and a lack of critical thinking skills. Reading TikTok comment sections makes me feel like Albert Einstein. There’s a dark energy to that app. It reminds me of Black Mirror.

I like tik tok but I’m kinda glad it’s getting banned. I spend wayy too much time scrolling and I’m trying to free myself from social media. Plus R Kelly songs are always going viral on there 🤮
Danielle
2024-12-16 05:50:20 +0000 UTC
I'm so happy you acknowledged the inherent sinophobia and corruption because so many people are missing that part. Regardless of how anyone feels about tiktok specifically, those are huge issues and the ban will have much larger implications than just not being able to scroll the FYP.

2024-12-16 05:49:30 +0000 UTC
You're 100% right. I remember my friend NEVER watched YouTube and did not have any favorite YouTubers. Imagine my surprise on how she cares about everything now.

heavy on the concert tickets being too expensive now because of tiktok. concert etiquette has also disappeared since everyone just wants their viral moment to post

Kenya can you talk more about your laser hair removal journey??? I’m kinda of scared to do it because I’ve seen a lot of talk about laser not being dark skinned friendly.

I’m sad for the creators whose incomes will be affected but if I said I wasn’t a little giddy that millions of easily duped and impressionable people will have less access to mass short-form propaganda and misinformation, I would be lying.

It sucks for the discoverability of new creators but it's good for the collective cause the brainrot is waayyy too high right now. Especially the youth.
Vic
2024-12-16 04:29:19 +0000 UTC
Wait! The way this conversation directly parallels Drake suing his own record label about payola use like he never did it. Not to be your too woke friend on a Sunday night.

Have you noticed the gambling thing 😭 someone went through a break up and casually discuss how they blew money on sports betting and i was like ???? And the comments didn’t even acknowledge it. But gambling is quietly REALLY BAD

I really hope they ban tiktok tbh. It’s destroying the collective consciousness especially gen z. I already downloaded my fave videos. We need a cultural reset.
