Political Memes

(Not you OP, you = governments)

You want to block corporate social media sites as propaganda

I want to block corporate social media sites because they’re parasites on society.

We are not the same.

Ooh... i dont think the tankies will like this!

Don't forget China blocks tiktok too.

They're technically not banning tiktok, they're banning China from owning tiktok

China also blocks tiktok

china blocked tiktok first

I love these winnie pooh memes

I hate tiktok

but all these talks about keeping children off phones is restricting the flow of information to a point that it scares me. we have Enciclopedias in our pockets ffs.

if the bar kids from easily accessing the internet, they're effectively blocking 2mil people (14-17) from instant access to information. (I did some sleep deprived math, dont @me if its off)

Honestly the brain dead obvious political move outside of monied interests is strong legislation to protect peoples information.

But we won’t see that

My self hosted DNS does all of that banning too. But that's just my little quality of life thing (and whatever little that does fighting the global data overlords).

Well, do you want to be like China in that regard?

Ah yes let's copy China. Progressive

The same could be said of the US. GAFAM works for the US just like TikTok works for China. I'd like to see the reaction of the US if the EU told Meta to sell the European branch so they "can't spy on EU citizens".

A FORCED SALE IS NOT A BAN.

I've said this like a thousand times and I hate repitition, but the USA as a whole has never tried to ban TikTok. Trump claims he did, it isn't allowed for military servicemembers, but it has never been banned.
