Republicans are raising concerns over the expansive reach of Chinese-owned social media app TikTok and its possible effect on this year's elections.
Sens. Tom Cotton, Ted Cruz, and Marco Rubio signed onto a letter to the FBI, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and the Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday to highlight the possibility that the social media app could be used to "manipulate" the public.
“TikTok has become a popular forum for Americans—particularly younger Americans—to engage in political conversations,” the GOP members wrote. “I’m greatly concerned that the CCP could use its control over TikTok to distort or manipulate these conversations to sow discord among Americans and to achieve its preferred political outcomes.”
This isn't the first time that federal lawmakers have called attention to TikTok, which is owned by Chinese company Bytedance and is one of the most downloaded apps in the world, over concerns about the security and privacy data of its U.S. userbase.
“Chinese government officials increasingly use Western social-media companies, including those banned in China, to flood global social media with propaganda and misinformation,” the senators warned.

Fucking idiots! It's the US Big Tech monopolies censoring their own party that are manipulating the US election. They're also harvesting data on users that can easily be sold to China or any foreign entity!
God damn it, is America destined to third world stupidity at this point!?

US Big Tech monopolies (Google, Twitter, Facebook, etc) are in bed with the the same corrupt entities these dipshits are concerned about, and they censor these very dipshits too, and the dipshits complain about… excuse me…. alternatives!? Put a shotgun in your mouth and do your brain a favor!! Cucky cowardly dipshits.

No wonder conservatism is dying… they suicided themselves. They worship the very monopolies that put their movement into a grave and buried it!!! Talk about abusive-relationship syndrome. Bend the knee already!!! Might as well tell us to lay down our guns too!!!
I hope TikTok destroys its competition. I don't give a shit if China benefits anymore!!

Tiktok calls out a lot of racism I didn't even think possible. It's satisfying to see that.
There's propaganda on tiktok but it can easily be swept away.
Right now Tiktok is one of the best places for free speech. It's kinda neutral.

it's neutral until it isn't. Either way it's a platform for memeing

I was the one with the first two replies, and I back what I said!
I'm no TikTok user, nor do I use any US Big Tech bullshit censorship-propagandist platforms either! I'm sure all those platforms are used for censorship. Therefore I fully support US alternatives like Gab, Parlor, Bitchute, UGETube, Minds, Dlive.tv, Unseen.is, Mewe and others most censored Americans are now using! If TikTok is competition to Big Tech, I could care less about it, they deserve any competition their way!!!

what i said here: >>263481 was more about how any free speech platform is a neutral platform until such a time as it is convenient for the administration to begin censoring things

Free Speach or a bunch of kiddy fidlers grooming youngsters to create wank fodder. Facebook may loose it spot of best place to get to meet children for sex.
Social media is all about child sex. 4chan and the ordiginal 8chan and probably THIS is full of free speach rhetoric to hide the fact that some fat cunt wants to share his holiday photos of rape in Uganda.

>"GOP concerned MSM could be used by kikes, globalist CIAniggers, mockingbirds, and corporate glowdarks to manipulate US elections."
That's how your report should truthfully be stated. Both sides are starting to figure things out. Every last one of these ruling elite faggots deserve to swing from a rope and that may be the only thing that both factions can agree upon. Seeing DC like the evacuation of Saigon, hypothetically, in a Minecraft exclusive dlc expansion pack, makes my dick hard. Wall Street too. Why isn't the NYSE being "peacefully protested" right now? Instead of marching on Langley or DC, Antifags are larping for clickbait in their own hometowns. Most of them being upper middle or wealthy class kids. Really makes you think.

No, free speech exists so you can form and voice your own fucking opinion without some sort of retribution for it. It has nothing to do with fondling children.

Want to end election manipulation? Start with Facebook, Twitter and Google. They're the biggest censors and manipulators on the fucking web today (besides the Chinese, but the Chinese don't censor Americans, they censor their citizens!).
