    We literally have a global rise in violent fascism and multiple ongoing genocides, and TikTok is the worst thing you can think of?

      Social media in general is likely contributing to the rise of violent facism. Anything that can reverse that trend is good IMO.

        This is social media too. How is your comment “contributing to the rise of violent fascism”?

        Also keep in mind that fascism comes from the top down, there is zero chance of a government to “reverse that trend” by taking over. This is nothing else than the US trying to beat China at it, which is worrying.

        Only way to reverse the trend of social media fascism, is to split it up, not to just transfer ownership.

      Hey, did you know that Facebook is partially* responsible for a more recent genocide? So, considering TikTok’s ties to the Chinese government, which is also known to commit genocides, I’m gonna go ahead and say this is probably a good thing.

      Edit: changed because Facebook just incited it, people are responsible for their own actions.
