Tick Tock - Rampy - 02-02-2024
Turned Fox on for the first time in weeks for background noise & have seen 3 tick tock commercials saying how great it is and how important it is to small businesses and ranchers
Have never seen this before, wonder what’s happening that tick tock has started propaganda commercials

I frequently hear those ads on the radio. Since it's been identified as Chinese spyware, they are trying to worm their way even deeper into our cyber world, I guess.

Don’t really listen to the radio unless we are traveling & then more music than anything. I really like WHO 1040 AM but don’t get it here very often & then it’s always at night
normally have food tv on for background noise & never heard tick tock advertising
I did hear the government is scrambling to stop using some Chinese software/program by midnight tonight

Good luck with that. After all, my entertainment is way more important than national security. I don't have the tic-toc app and go so far as to not click on a tic-toc video when someone sends me one.

The government is trying to launching a nation wide ban on tic tok mainly because it is owned by a Red Chinese company named ByteDance. Montana has already banned it but can't enforce the ban!

Saw tonight on the semi local news where a few states has blocked/banned porn hub (some kind of internet porn I guess) and now states want to ban/block tick tock the same way
I’m conflicted on this, once you start banning/ blocking internet sites and apps, where will the censorship go?
I got a 30 day ban from clown book for posting a meme about Hunter Biden under sexual exploitation and sexual violence without permission

Remember porn hub was used at one time as an alternative media site because of censorship? I think guntubers went there for a bit after YouTube started screwing with gun content. Tiktok....I'm not sure whether they are a good thing or bad, because you can sure find plenty of "conspiracy theory" talk on there. I thought that the US side of tiktok was actually being managed by a US office?
