The White House is facing mounting pressure from Congress to ban the widely popular TikTok app nationwide after Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Congressman Ken Buck (R-CO) introduced a piece of legislation on Wednesday to curb its use. A similar bill to ban TikTok in the U.S. was filed during the last Congressional session, but it was not considered in either chamber.
As soon as the US loses a fraction of its cultural hegemony it puts up its own Great Firewall lol.
It’s funny because Tiktok is now a complete propaganda tool for the US state department to use on the same level, if not higher than every Meta social media and Twitter but the people in the White House, Congress, and almost all Americans are too xenophobic and stupid to realize it
Destroying your own imperialist state propaganda tools to own the commies
Omg yes I noticed that too. There are also like on there Americans who are like “wow europe is so racist unlike America because of the treatment of romani people” lol.
Americans have always been like this towards Europeans. Used to see shit like that on the Neopets forums during the Bush years.
Why would they? They’ve already learned for decades that Americans are completely domesticated
Which makes it all the more weirder that the FBI head is claiming it’s dangerous.
I guess to them it is more advantageous to use TikTok to generate more China bad news, they probably are satisfied with all the other avenues for propaganda they have.
