Good thing I don’t use TikTok


ARatherOddPineapple

One of the few sane left


Winter-Picture-7287

Amen to that


Grezzinate

Ah there it is again. It’s so weird seeing my boring ass state in the headlines and on Reddit so much.


circleofnerds

At least you don’t live in Florida right now.


Grezzinate

And I’m incredibly glad, it sounds awful down there now.


L3GlT_GAM3R

I’m not well informed on it, what’s going on there?


Grezzinate

Here’s one of the issues. https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/13k7c7u/ron_desantis_signs_law_allowing_trans_kids_to_be/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1


L3GlT_GAM3R

WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK?


Grezzinate

There’s a number of things to dive into on it.


PM_ME_YOUR_FERNET

They're also going to use radioactive material to make some roads for...some reason. Money. Money is the reason.


L3GlT_GAM3R

Like cancer making radioactive stuff in the roads? Or radioactive like modern tank shells? And What are they doing with the kids? Selling them? Turning them into super soldiers? Or just outright killing them because i never noticed anything saying what they’d do with them after taking them.


PM_ME_YOUR_FERNET

More radioactive than depleted uranium, but that's fucked too. Uranium is super toxic. Like using DU rounds, this will create a bunch of highly toxic dust. Unlike DU rounds, that dust will be radioactive too. There is a reason it was illegal to do this.


George-Lucas-Bot

There's no coup, there's no rebellion, there's no nothing. They vote it in, which is what happens in real life.


Newtype_Matt

I live in St. Petersburg, FL and everything is great down here tbh


Grezzinate

Unfortunately I’m a lgbtq person and such so that fellow Ron isn’t fond of us.


circleofnerds

Yeah they’re not doing great. It’s a shame. Beautiful place.


Grezzinate

I dreamed of seeing Disney down there but not until shits calmed down.


George-Lucas-Bot

The object is to try to get the system to work for you, instead of against you. And the only way you can do it is through success, I'm afraid.


Fetoid2

Ron is fighting Disney too. Soon there might not even be a Disneyworld.


aro-ace-outer-space2

I’d be more worried about Ron if I wasn’t hoping they’d feed him to the moat alligators


nights234

Florida is awesome right now. There’s a reason so many businesses and people are moving down here.


severe_neuropathy

For real. Zephyr trending on social media and being a high recommendation by the Google algorithm was a weird couple days. Wish we were in the news for cool stuff. Or just bears. I miss when the only notable thing about MT was bears.


Nimeni-nimic

*Thunderous Applause*


Bronieboy01

Im moving to Montana.


Gman-343

To work at the Dutton-ranch?


Bronieboy01

Nah, me and my family are planning on doing a project there.


Luissv72

...so Montana is gonna single-handedly wipe out China?


Hbgplayer

I mean with all the silos located in Montana it probably could.


SeedSaga

WOLVERINES!!!


AnAussieBloke

C'mon! We're all going to die, die standing up!


IntelligentAd561

Why not ban Facebook as well? There are multiple pieces of evidence that they're collecting and selling your data.


The-Senate-Palpy

I miss Net Neutrality


Aliensinnoh

This isn’t related to that. Net neutrality is about whether internet carriers (ISPs like Comcast) could discriminate between websites. This is a state banning an app. A ban on users going to the app would probably be unenforceable for constitutional reasons, but this is a ban on apps stores from offering the app. Technically anyone in Montana who has it on their phone (like Hank Green, a Montanan who is fairly popular on TikTok) can just keep using it without updating it. And they can update it whenever they leave the state.


[deleted]

Yeah even though I'm all for no more tik-tok this is not the way to go about it.


kazz9201

China is the good guys in this scenario?


Vexivero

I see through the lies of the Chinese. I do not fear the Montanans as you do!


squanchingonreddit

Are you a robot? Edit: or CCP operative.

Hefty-Vehicle292

Bro what the fuck!! Hard -er?! It’s clanka. I can give you a pass if you need it


SLIP411

Ha, blast em boys


Vexivero

There's no bot here..unless you brought it with you


Aliensinnoh

TikTok is almost certainly bad. But so is the government trying to stop people from visiting certain websites. I don’t like it when China bans things like Reddit and Twitter, and I won’t like it when America does the same thing by banning TikTok. There’s no difference between the two things, and it is bad whenever any government dies it.


Revliledpembroke

The difference is TikTok is (supposedly) an espionage tool for the Chinese government, whereas Reddit and Twitter are private companies. (And yes, TikTok is technically owned by a private company in China too, but I don't know how "private" the no-longer-entirely-communist nation has left it)


CatchUsual6591

All the of the USA social media work with the gov the espionage and data privacy argument is weak. Twitter and facebook are huge manipulation tools that have make more dmg that tik tok ever did


Revliledpembroke

Sure, but *we're* the USA, so we don't care about that.


littleja1001

Key word supposedly. No one has been able to prove any information getting into the Chinese government’s hand.


[deleted]

the jedi order had already fallen to the dark side


Maul_Bot

You know nothing of the dark side.


HondoOhnakaBot

Hey! Hey! Someone scape that guy off the floor!


Pontificus_Organicus

Good is a point of view.


Tentacle_poxsicle

Why the fuck would they be the good guys. Tiktok is a CCP propaganda tool used to spread misinformation, dangerous trends like licking bleach, teaching industrial espionage like how to hack KIAs and Hyundai for criminals (vehicle rivals of China hint hint) and it's the world's largest distributor of underaged porn. Not only is China using this tool to destroy the west, but they are making money off of it. They heavily censor their version in China while pushing bad stuff elsewhere. Fuck tiktok when it goes down one day I'll spit on its grave.

TheHondoCondo

Ha ha ha ha no


The_Meme_Dealer

Better ban all the other social media's then, they all sell your information and spy on you. At least there is evidence that tiktok has made an effort to limit this.


brendonap

Are all other social media sites owned and possibly controlled by the ccp?


TheRisen073

I will willingly go into exile. I’m a Montanan and I don’t care what social media gets banned, I’ll stay there.


DocMettey

Kentuckian here, your state is the closest thing to heaven on earth. I would love to retire there


QuasarMania

Montana, you’re strong and wise and I’m very proud of you


Soviet-pirate

So much for freedom


NorthernSouthman

This is the right move


SexMan4Mayorr

Good


YudufA

Hope the rest of the states and the world will follow suit


PainStorm14

Montana governor is strong and wise and we are proud of him


Queen_of_Muffins

yeah no this is bad this willp give corrupt politicians free reign to do as they please and get away with it the reason the democratic lawmakers who were kicked out without reason have the support they do now is because of apps like tiktok


Dyers3v3

Wow that must suck for all of 2 people that live in Montana


EmperorZoltar

I’ll have you know there are dozens of us. Dozens!


MrAVAT4R_2

Oh i get it


Zardhas

Really ? From what I've read they just made it so that google and apple couldn't distribute it on their respective store. It's far from banned.


Burning-Skull117

So after India,this


astroSubway

In the name of the people's Republic you are under arrest.


the_crafter9

Impressive. Now is it anything like the RESTRICT act?


Fetoid2

Glad I moved. Montana is governed by nutjobs. There is an active lawsuit against the state by the people. No law should be passed that limits free speech. It's amusing that people think TT should be banned but still use fb, snap, and insta. It's okay if American corporations spy on me! Haha. China doesn't need tiktok to spy on you. The president is already selling them our government secrets. Oh, I'm sorry, his son is. lmfao.


Wixrom

Based Montana🗿

"President Xí Jìnpíng! I take it the protesters have been destroyed. I must say you are here sooner than expected!" "In the name of the People's Republic of China, you are under arrest Governor."
