THE ANGELS WEPT (@jyrpouting) reporteddives stay bringing tiktok problems to twitter like baby they share half a brain cell on that app why are you making it our issue 💀
-
Rory Faulkner (@RoryFaulkner80) reported@kevincarrico Surely it also neglects the issues of reciprocity (or lack of) and Tiktok’s inability to shield data from the CCP
-
MIKE (@WootWootTweety) reported@tenzinttsering Agreed, this is the problem with TikTok and other forms of social media these days. Everything is so taken out of context and misinterpreted by the masses due to one short clip. Great take as usual 👍
-
Gender Goblin (@oggendergoblin) reported@HawleyMO You are so worried about TikTok when there are REAL problems going on. People like you make me embarrassed to be an American. Hell, you make me wonder if my time spent serving this country was really worth it.
-
JanArgy (@JanArgy) reportedThey want to ban TikTok. Problem is the American public loves it.
-
Rwema (@Rwema47347966) reportedI can’t wait to see TikTok being banned worldwide . Partisans party are working tirelessly on a legislation to protect the privacy of America citizens.There are suspicious activity that Chinese is spying on United States under TikTok umbrella .I do support this legislation .
-
Blissisintheyeofthebeholder (@Cocoa_Iam) reportedInstagram and Facebook stealing your data is different from Tiktok. They’re American owned. Tiktok is NOT. Stop acting slow.
-
Sam_sam1 (@Samsam143435923) reported@FrontlineGamer @JezCorden Investigations have shown they already are exploiting domestic US social media for nefarious purposes. Its a problem that has been worked on and needs work still. In fact this is just further reason to ban Tiktok, as well as the spying potential it has.
-
🐈⬛ 𝑪𝒍𝒂𝒖 🪐 (@McGrath_Katic) reportedI only have TikTok for Adele, in times of the pandemic I never downloaded the app and well now I have a problem because I think it's like Tw that I post stupid things that nobody reads and then I comment on random videos and it turns out that the comment has thousands of likes 🫠
-
Bro Sammie (@FungiSammie) reportedSo the problem is the American surveillance state obviously #TikTok
-
💧Dead Parrot Society (parody) (@MyFirstCousin) reportedPersonally I wear a false moustache, beard and dark glasses when I access TikTok, problem solved.
-
Let Loose (@baevidtweets) reportedSince they want to talk about safety… why were there no congressional hearings or plans to ban twitch when someone live-streamed themselves going on a mass shooting? oh but tiktok is the biggest problem facing the us huh
-
nicole⁸ (@arianateez) reportedomg leave tiktok alone and worry about REAL ISSUES
-
cultured. (@plsbeseriouslol) reportedIdgaf about what nobody on TikTok in the reading circles say because I’m already seeing pushback against Sanderson, I have issues with certain viewpoints or misdirections of prose in his work, but that article was a HITPIECE with bad intentions. I truly believe Sanderson is good.
-
James Good (@MermaidLion1) reported@mwala_harry @CGMeifangZhang But if they forbid US companies from working with tiktok then the app would be taken down from apps store worldwide.
-
JoK (@99MorningCoffee) reportedHave we heard any solutions to today’s major problems from the GOP? Any ? Seems that Hunter’s **** pics are the focus TikTok is the focus A guy name Bragg just doing his job is the focus Cost of eggs is the focus
-
FreedomDog (@FDOGofAmerica) reported@realMartinLukas @HawleyMO The problem isn’t TikTok.. it’s peoples inability to think critically
-
Kaien (@ilikebobaXD) reported@escapedkiwi @JoesDaily @Kat_Cammack You’re a embarrassment. A joke lol. Their questions were general problems of social media itself. All they are doing is targeting TikTok for having the same problems as other social medias. Some the question itself is ridiculous and reveals that they don’t know technology
-
Pamastymui (@Pamastymui) reported@AtomicRakoon @EvilVizier Some women on the TikTok also pointed this out - the problem is not the virtual/visual augmentation of the face/body,but the INTERNAL/EXTERNAL perception of augmentation. Also,ad externalized VIRTUAL augmentation to people,who have weak external perception of their body-image. 🤪
-
Ashanti (@Akiiaraa) reported@DailyLoud the problem is all you old ***** making decisions no one asked for speaking for US so loud for goddamn tiktok but not about drilling into the ******* arctic or having stricter gun laws so your CHILD doesnt die going to SCHOOL everyone is so worried about the privacy of tiktok-
-
90 lb vlone thug (@griccs) reportedI think banning tiktok may just fix everyone
-
ghetto baby mama 😘 (@LuPennybags) reportedI been working on this tiktok for 4 hours and the whole thing just deleted 😭 BAN ALLAT **** 💔💔💔
-
bibis (༎ຶ⌑༎ຶ) (@HELLOUNlVERSE) reported@mythopoeiic china is a huge issue and tiktok is china spying tool
-
nick (@nick_plaid) reported@JW_HLR @BradleyMartyn The average American has never bread of WeChat so there’s no problem but everyone in America has heard and use tiktok. The fact that a lot of Americans are getting spied on is the reason that there trying to ban it
-
⁷ (@mikrolcve) reported@eiIcado @aliyahInterlude Right attention spans are definitely shorter cause of short clips. But issue is all these other platforms have already adjusted to this. Feels like it going in circles. If tiktok does go down, likely people are gonna wanna create the new top app with the same format, tragic tbh
-
Kran Sanon (@kransanon) reportedTikTok is only a problem because Americans did not think of it first.
-
S̷̯̏y̸̅͜m̷̧̿p̸͔̀t̶̛̲o̷͗ͅm̴͍͑O̷̎͜Ș̶͑ -Roots Arc ✝️ (@SymptomOfSouls) reported@papiflorida @mtracey I would rather they ban short-form content. And pornography. Banning tiktok doesn't solve the problems. Is it bad that China steals information from users? Absolutely. But I would bet money that china is stealing info from YouTube as well. And Facebook. And every other platform
-
matcha (@catboy_club) reportedthere are problems with tiktok and its not about the handling of data. its the **** content moderation and algorithm
-
Vince Phi (@VincePhi_) reportedis not worried about the safety risk of TikTok. There’s bigger issues in America to be scared about.
-
Lin (@LinDbly) reportedIm confused. The TikTok issue is because they are controlled by China? Correct? Not China owned, but a Chinese national owns it? Right? Knowing the Chinese ppl don’t have rights, hence China controlled. Right? So we allow access to our personal info. Yeah, we’re dumb!
