The shooting of Alex Pretti by ICE agents prompted celebs to speak out, and now they say they are paying the price.

    That’s the one group of people who could leave a platform and bring the people with them wherever they go.

    Probably involves leaving money on the table though. So unlikely to happen.

    Edit : typo

      I hate this mentality. The government is actively censoring what Americans can say and what they can see

      Too many people are okay with it because they, personally, do not like the platform

      It’s not about TikTok, it’s about the government controlling the narrative on political topics

        It’s technichally fascism. Oracle bought it so they could censor on behalf of the government. Its exactly what Musk did with Twitter.

        See number 6. https://public.websites.umich.edu/~rsc/Editorials/fascism.html

        The owners or executives of those platforms can show whatever content they like per the 1st admentment. They arent breaking any laws that im aware of. I hate it, but its their right.

        So, there is no real legal recourse that I know of, and thats why i say no one needs tiktok.
