I see all these commercials with these mental misfits claiming the ban infringes on their 1st Amendment Rights. How lazy and pornographically deceitful can you be?

Guess what. I don't have TikTok and i see HUNDREDS of the videos. On Facebook and X.

So make your stupid videos and post them there. No infringement at all.

ByteDance says it isn’t selling.

This just got interesting.

It's Tik Tok, not Tik Tik, you silly goose.

It's hilarious seeing all the so-called "influencers" mentally unravel with this ban.

Hopefully the ban lasts several months to a year.

It wouldn't kill them to go outside, read a book!

To be fair, the influencers are upset because of the impending loss of income. Money makes people lose their minds. I’m willing to bet generally influencers don’t have a significant amount of mental resilience.

TikTok goes down and people just switching to another Chinese run similar app called RedNote now. RedNote was the most downloaded app in the US this week.

They sure did. So now, the “Communist Chinese government” that senator Cotton was so concerned about is really getting the data.

I use TikTok but I’m not on there like some people so I’ll be fine. Plenty of other ways to make money. I’m sure it will be back sooner rather than later.

Good riddance. I really hope these foreign government owned, especially our adversaries, apps are banned.

A 19 year old was arrested for starting a fire to a office space leased to a member of the House of Rep because of the TikTok ban.

I wouldn’t be surprised if more stuff happens. I’ve heard some of the voice mails left for Tom Cotton’s office. Borderline threats to an elected official.

A lot more leading to that than an app.

There was a 13 year old girl beaten, stabbed, and burned alive by a 15 year old girl and a 16 year old girl in our state the other day.

Of course. There are so many factors. That app (amongst a lot of technology) plays a small part of what society has become. It'll only get worse imho.

Trump said he will sign a EO to undo the ban after he takes office on Monday.

Wasn't it bipartisan that wanted Tik Tok banned? I thought he wanted banned as well?

It was, but a lot of politicians have already started walking back after they’ve seen the backlash. At the end of the day, they’re worried about keeping their jobs.

Tom Cotton was the biggest on the ban, partly because he has a book coming out about how bad China is and he owns a lot of META stock. Remember, they’re worried always have alternative motives behind moves they make and it’s not always because of what’s best for American citizens.

It is going to be funny seeing people that swore they hated him turning to thanking him.
