Because the only reason to bsn TikTok are racist reasons. Their practices have been examined closely and found to be less invasive than they rest. And Facebook, they're horrible.
The reasons usually given are mumbled generalities but refer to China getting access to American citizen data.
"China" seems to be the common theme.
The very data for sale on the open market. It's all bullshit.
I'm not defending TikTok and certainly not Chinese govt practices. They do evil. But no evidence of it in this instance.
Dude, some people just prefer longer form content. To each their own.
Then don't use TikTok? But also, TikTok does up to 10min videos? It's weird that your reaction is "Shortform content is bad and we should ban the app"
Oops, I think I just sent the response to myself lol. but yeah. Vine was entertaining. Tik tok just didn't click with me.
