I hope Europe will restrict instagram,facebook,twitter like big tech application too!
Definitely not a politically motivated decision, totally nothing to do with Tiktok’s role as the only non-US-based mass social network, absolutely not because of pro-Palestinian views on TikTok! Europe is totally free and there’s no censorship :D
TikTok in the US was spun out into a separate company. The global version of TikTok hasn’t changed, so the issues that the EU has with tiktok are still with china/btyedance.
That being said, let’s get rid of social media everywhere!
I’d be curious to hear their explanation as to why the Tiktok “addictive” system of switching from one video to the other is more addictive that YT shorts who does the same(, or Instagram reels, switching videos on 𝕏, Vine back then, …).
For now, their arguments are : infinite scroll and push notifications(, present on every social media), autoplay, recommandations, …
Tiktok is being accused of using the same system as other social platforms, sure we believe that our arguments are more coherent, or everyone knows that they’re just lazy excuses, and nobody cares.
Yeah, it’s probably that we gave up on democracy, and nobody with power cares about Tiktok.
Just ban it completely please, it’s only getting worse under the US ownership.
I agree get rid of it (along with all social media) but TikTok in Europe isn’t owned by the US. That’s still the version owned by China/Bytedance
The US owned version was spun off just for the US market.
Agree but alternatives are needed
I don’t. Never really used tiktok. But there are more than a few alternatives just one google search away.
Throw the book at 'em
