    Cool beans. You are free to circumvent the ban, but I saw ban away and don’t stop with just tiktok

    Try releasing software in China and NOT adhering their their demands. See how long your software lasts… It’s a two way street here and I’m glad the the US is finally seeing it this way.

      I don’t use Tiktok and never have. I view it more a matter of principle.

      China is an authoritarian state. We should not imitate them. Unfortunately I think Zizek was right when he said China’s model is the most effective form of capitalism and predicted that all liberal democracies would eventually converge into a version of that system.

      This is what you embrace with open arms. Do you not care about being able to access whatever media you want?

        In a general sense I agree, but from a place whos literal interest is to cause chaos, misinformation and deceit at every possible chance…no. we don’t need to be nice to them or listen to their demands.

          Just a thought… What are the odds of you being victim of propaganda or misinformation?
