    The fediverse has less than 10M users. Tiktok has a billion. It doesnt compare. Its like saying we should allow banning newspapers or radio because people will still share information over phone calls

        No they wont theyll go to instagram reels since it already is a tiktok clone on an app they already use and already has an algorithm and an infrastructure and is easy to use. Theyll just be fed alt right and anti vax propaganda now instead of all the leftist in depth videos with sources on tiktok that consistently go viral

          This. People who believe the reasoning behind this need to understand that the same arguments were made last year and the idea was laughed at.

          What’s different is Biden took on another proxy war on the side of genocide and tiktok is the only platform they can’t prevent using the word “genocide”
