the real reason why the government tries to ban apps is because it gives an unfiltered look at people the government has tried to demonize for years

An unfiltered look at, checks notes, a completely censored and controlled people who aren't even allowed to hold up a blank sheet of paper in protest?

i know china's not as bad as north korea when it comes to this sorta thing, but are they really just gonna let that happen
Good. The TikTok ban is an outrageous act of censorship.
Edit: Didn't know the ADL are on Lemmy
That's like trying to argue that fighting the Nazis in ww2 was an outrageous act of killing.
Edit spelling
This is the second time in this thread that I've seen Nazi comparisons. Stop whitewashing Nazism by making absurd comparisons.
U could say the same thing every time someone called trump a facist. Also Godwin's Law
Nazis. Always the Nazis.
Yeah cos if ur argument can be used to justify the Nazis it is clearly a bad argument.
How does censorship justify Nazis? Maybe you're just rationalizing anti China propaganda.

It’s not that outrageous to ban a propaganda machine. The rest of the world should follow suit and restrict access to not only TikTok but Xitter, ChatGPT and everything Facebook too by how things are handled in these companies right now. They’re all answering to anti-democratic governments and threaten our freedom.
AIPAC is the one threatening your freedom.

Doubt. Just sounds like they capitalized on spreading this hoping to make it real
Edit it’s working jeez the general population is so stupid
Yes… it’s the population that’s stupid. It couldn’t possibly be an area of ignorance for you. At a certain point, you might consider some introspection. Or at least consider not taking new knowledge and having to revise your world model as a personal insult. Not everyone thinks the same way you do. You’d do well to make peace with that.
