    When someone tells you to stop thinking for yourself, doesn't that set of the tiniest alarm bell for you?? Just an incy-wincy bit?

    They don't only want you to stop thinking for yourself, they only want you to listen to sources they approve of. What do you think the TikTok bill is really about?

    If "thinking for yourself" means disagreeing with expert professionals about something you don't understand then what you are describing is actually "willful ignorance".

    This is an example of what is actually the biggest problem in this country. This is perpetuated by charlatans like RFK Jr and Donald Trump.

    I'm not sure what has happened to you in your life to make you gravitate to these kinds of people, but you can be better than that.

    The TikTok bill is about hypocrisy. If you ban TikTok, you also need to ban every social media platform out there as well. They don't want them gathering information on Americans. Simple fix, is to stop all media platforms from gathering and selling your information, period. They will sell their supporters on everything else... besides the truth though. And ban TikTok only.

    It seems to me that it is also about taking down the competition. As it always is, when it comes to big money issues.

    Edit: It wouldn't surprise me at all if we see an American TikTok clone once TikTok is banned.

    You could if you weren't vaccinated.

    The “Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act” does not only apply to TikTok.

    While I would prefer if American corporations couldn't do it either, I really don't want our enemies to have that access to our information.

    If that data is misused we have a greater chance to do something about it with American-based platforms.

    BTW, you might find this interesting...

    Many American websites and apps are blocked in China, including:
    • Social media: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Reddit, AO3, Tumblr, and Pinterest
    • Productivity and enterprise: Slack, G Suite, Gmail, Dropbox, Hootsuite, and Microsoft OneDrive
    • Other: YouTube, Netflix, Vimeo, Google Search, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, Messenger, WeChat, and Quora

    Yes, I already knew China banned many of our social media platforms. But China controls it's media every bit as well as America does. American, corporate owned, media has an illusion of freedom. And can't be trusted any more than our enemies media can be trusted, imo.

    I suppose it might, if it ever happened, but so far it hasn't.

    I'm not worried about what 'they' want. I don't have to do what 'they' say.

    It's about a conspiracy!

    Whoo-hoo! Got one right!

    I'm not sure why RFK Jr. didn't select Aaron as his VP. They seem so well suited for each other.

    This is very interesting Chris Cuomo, one of the former minions, who blindly repeated all of the lies about Covid, and bashed anyone who questioned the narrative.

    He's now revealed that he himself was injured by the vaccine. And he's openly admitting that the smearing if Ivermectin was propaganda. He's talked to clinicians who say they were using it on themselves and their family and it was working, and that they all knew it was an extremely save drug.

    But too often these lies are spread, they get engrained in people's minds and they never get corrected.

    I wouldn’t expect this to gain much traction here. Every incorrect statement Cuomo made during the height of covid was repeated here verbatim, with extreme conviction. You rarely see people admit they were wrong.
