I can’t imagine how this could go poorly. /s

    A friend of mine has a relative who is doing several years in prison for shit like this. It took about 14 times of him getting caught doing variously more aggressive, stalker things towards his ex partner before he was finally incarcerated for any length of time.

    Motherfuckers need to start letting shit go, and we need to start holding people accountable and providing services for their mental illnesses in the states.

      providing services for their mental illnesses in the states.

      Statistics show that this would cost less money than engaging the unwell with police, but then how would we justify huge police budgets?

        Man, what a quandary. Guess we just continue incarcerating the mentally unwell and arming the facists. Sounds like there’s no better option. Glad that’s sorted.

      Tik tok submitted to the US government (probably for a massive bribe) so it’s here to stay so long as people keep using it.

        What? They haven’t changed anything since they were supposed to be banned.

        Trump just keeps pushing back the deadline. Right now it’d be banned Sept 17th, but presumably he’ll push it back again.

        It’s just too popular for the administration to take the flak for it disappearing while they’re in office

          The app broke for a few days with a message kissing Dump’s ass, and when it came back, all videos that mentioned fascism had been removed

          Tictok shutdown for a week or however long it was. Then we see it’s CEO sitting alongside Trump, Zuck and the rest of the oligarchs at the inauguration. Shortly after, the service goes live again followed by user complaints about their feeds being different.

          It’s not confirmed but the theory is that tictok is now feeding data to meta, or even running off their servers entirely, so that the US government has easy access to everything.
