[mintywhre]

Hey everything is terrible but like one day I'd love to read the book about this "TikTok ban" propaganda and also how it strengthened ties with Chinese people to demystify our countries

Also, fuck TikTok's Trump propaganda

[mintywhre]

BYE LMAO

No thanks.

[mintywhre]

Nope now it’s at the point that i’m shocked that people off tt don’t know what’s going down. I have no reach but i’ll sum it up anyway.

SCOTUS is hearing on the constitutionality of the ban as tiktok and creators are arguing that it is a violation of our first amendment rights to free speech, freedom of the press and freedom to assemble.

SCOTUS: tiktok bad, big security concern because china bad!

Tiktok lawyers: if china is such a concern why are you singling us out? Why not SHEIN or temu which collect far more information and are less transparent with their users?

SCOTUS (out loud): well you see we don’t like how users are communicating with each other, it’s making them more anti-american and china could disseminate pro china propaganda (get it? They literally said they do not like how we Speak or how we Assemble. Independent journalists reach their audience on tt meaning they have Press they want to suppress)

Tiktok users: this is fucking bullshit i don’t want to lose this community what should we do? We don’t want to go to meta or x because they both lobbied congress to ban tiktok (free market capitalism amirite? Paying off your local congressmen to suppress the competition is totally what the free market is about) but nothing else is like TikTok

A few users: what about xiaohongshu? It’s the Chinese version of tiktok (not quite, douyin is the chinese tiktok but it’s primarily for younger users so xiaohongshu was chosen)

16 hours later:

Tiktok as a community has chosen to collectively migrate TO a chinese owned app that is purely in Chinese out of utter spite and contempt for meta/x and the gov that is backing them.

My fyp is a mix of “i would rather mail memes to my friends than ever return to instagram reels” and “i will xerox my data to xi jinping myself i do not care i share my ss# with 5 other people anyway” and “im just getting ready for my day with my chinese made coffee maker and my Chinese made blowdryer and my chinese made clothing and listening to a podcast on my chinese made phone and get in my car running on chinese manufactured microchips but logging into a chinese social media? Too much for our gov!” etc.

So the government was scared that tiktok was creating a sense of class consciousness and tried to kill it but by doing so they sent us all to xiaohongshu. And now? Oh it’s adorable seeing this gov-manufactured divide be crossed in such a way.

This is adorable and so not what they were expecting. Im sure they were expecting a reluctant return to reels and shorts to fill the void but tiktokers said fuck that, we will forge connections across the world. Who you tell me is my enemy i will make my friend. That’s pretty damn cool.

i guess i’ll just be going back to my roots and watch edits on youtube 🫡

[mintywhre]

I saw a post on rednote about how “Americans say they have freedom, but they just have opinions”.

We were just brainswashed into believing we were free. It’s been hammered in us since we started learning how to read and write. Now our schools will be defunded or shut dodn, books will be continue to be banned, children will be exposed to extreme propaganda.

Why couldn’t this sack of bones bite the dust. If these ICE raids try to do ANYTHING to the people I love. I will do whatever it takes to protect them. I refuse to abide to any laws that will actively harm the wellbeing of my family. Big corporations will not listen to peaceful protests. They only listen to violence.

I saved a few tiktoks during the last hour. Please watch this TikTok.

[mintywhre]

This is sooo fucking sus guys. Right? Trump...the one who promised to ban Tiktok in the first place is NOT going to be the one to save it without SERIOUS ramifications. Money is being exchanged for this and I dont understand why they think we are so fucking stupid as to believe that this wasnt some elaborate bullshit to buy sympathy for Donald Trump and his shitass presidency.

Do not fall for it!

[mintywhre]

They won’t ban meta apps because they actively fund the government. I’m guessing they’ll try to ban rednote because of the retaliation. The thing that upsets me the most is that there is no form on communication for the ICE raids.

Not only that but the audacity to have ICE raids on TUESDAY. A day after MLK day. I absolutely hate this country. The US government would rather ban apps than Guns which, lead to the HIGHEST MORTALITY RATE AMONG CHILDREN. Before TikTok stopped functioning, there was a creator that said governments obtain full control by using fear.

The Government will use the panic of ICE raids to further control the citizens. This happened after 9/11, and it will happen again. We need to keep up communication as much as possible. It just sucks that we no longer have our largest form of communication anymore.

Big corporations only listen to violence. They don’t listen to peaceful protests unless it affects them directly.

“I’m not on tiktok anyway so this does not affect me” no???? it’s not just about tiktok or whether or not you like the app??? it’s about them being able to censor and control what they want and what they don’t want people to see. it’s about them being able to keep people uneducated for the sake of their personal gain and benefits.

(it’s also about small businesses who relied on tiktok to gain customers / income.)

that being said, if the only thing you care about is the platforms you’re on, sorry to break it to you, but if they can ban tiktok, they can go after any other platforms too.

they can go after tumblr, archive of our own, instagram, youtube, facebook, etc, you name it.

it actually does affect you.

[mintywhre]

it happened :(

Guys I think I had my wattpad moment while taking a Lyft home from my college🤤

So I usually take a Lyft/Uber home and so I was doing so and this guy pulls up and I usually put my headphones back on bc I don’t want to overstep my boundaries but the driver was actually trying to make conversation.

So he asked me what my major was and I told him I was a Business Major with interest in quantitative data and he asked me what math class I was taking. I managed to get into Math 165 which is business stats for my college and he said “ah, so you’re a smart college girl, hm?”

… IVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THAT IN MY LIFE. AND NOT ONLY THAT BUT WHENEVER WE WERE AT A RED LIGHT, HE WOULD COMPLETELY TURN HIS HEAD AROUND TO MAKE EYE CONTACT😫😫‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
