      They might allow them to sell it off without the algorithms but ByteDance seems pretty adamant it will just close TikToks US operations
      From the Chinese Government point of view. It does not want apps like TikTok out there where people can give their unfettered/un regulated opinions. As ByteDance is heavily regulated in China where the sister version of TikTok in China called Douyin is heavily regulated

      If you can't go live on TikTok unless you have 1500 followers, . . is because Tik Tok is practicing theft of customers with the strategy to make each teenager do their best to bring to TikTok, each one his or her entire school body of students (mates) and even from other schools by all applying and trying to subscribe to each other before being allowed to go live. Then next thing is socialist indoctrination followed by communism but slowly step by step without you even realizing when the 18 years old man or woman is already lining toward socialism or communism and in love with China.

I looked into receiving caregiver pay to support myself and it is not available to me because my mother is not on state assistance. I was appalled by this, because my mother worked her entire life and did not collect any assistance from the state, she does not qualify for any caregiving benefits unless she pays out of pocket . I would never think of charging my mother for what I do. This should be available to those who are not on assistance. These people worked hard and are proud people who don't like asking for help.

      @themightyflog TikTok is Chinese owned and collects data from users. Its literally a communist country spying on us so If they don't comply with U.S. policies they would then be banned. How is that taking away your freedom?

    If the government banned apple boxes or megaphones, it wouldn't be a violation of your free speech. Same goes for social media "platforms."
    The rest of the social media apps need to be next.

      They are banning it becouse it’s ultimately owned by the Chinese government. It is essentially a spy platform. They are collecting data on Americans. This is to protect Americans. It is only being banned in America. That’s why the option to sell is on the table so that spying would not be a problem

    Malum In Se/Malum Prohibitum
    Nothing moral requires authority. Authority is the claim to the exclusive exemption to morality. It is a monopoly on violence. Violence is a violation because it is the initiation of aggression, not self-defense. Offense/defense are ontologically distinct. All crime has a legal equivalent (ie, taxation is extortion).
    Every government is founded on Ad Baculum.
    Petitio Principii can and will be used against you.
    Warren v. District of Columbia
    Town of Castle Rock v. Gonzales
    DeShaney v. Winnebago County
    Lozito v. New York City
    You are legally compelled via the logical fallacies Ad Populum, Ad Baculum and Ad Verecundiam to pay for protection that they are not legally obligated to provide. That's a mafia.
    The highest Abrahamic value is Ignorance of Good and Evil. It's right there in Genesis. They worship Yaldabaoth, God of the Scapegoaters: God blames Man; Man blames Woman; Woman blames Serpent; Serpent blames God, more accurately - the Serpent defines God.

    Ritualistic classifying surgery as a means of psychic castration, like circumcision and sub-incision, are hallmarks of patriarchal culture, a demonstration to the young that the venerable old ones still wield the all-powerful knife - and the beginning of transsexualism. Those who do not perform the cult's rite can never enjoy full social status.
    Symbols of the castrated member, the tie and bow-tie, are mandatory accoutrements of the political wardrobe and phallic monuments are erected to commemorate the minds conquered long ago. Brute force is no longer necessary.
    The capitalist priest class of Psychiatry, working in tandem with the State bureaucracy, regulates and polices the new Restriction and gelding of desire. Psychiatrists, along with other legal arbiters, help to obscure justice with grey areas of intentionality, mental state, etc.
    Some mistake this as a system of Liberty, ignorant of the fact that Psychiatric Control is a cornerstone of the perfected Totalitarian State.
    All modern illnesses come from the absurd and tragic struggle of man's inability to bridle Nature. This dogma echoes perpetually, omnisciently by understanding voices in self-help books, billboards, radio commercials and television talk shows to convince the public to practice continual self-suppression and hormonal restraint. Any deviation is an indication of something severely wrong with the individual.
    Perhaps Lycanthropic Transformation Rites are in some way a Psychic Preparation for the millennial calamities that are thought to lie ahead.

    They lump themselves into a group. They want all the collective praise and none of the collective blame (No True Scotsman). If they were truly concerned for their reputation they wouldn’t wear a uniform. Badges are just snowflakes.
    "Everything is metamorphosed into its opposite to perpetuate itself in its expurgated form. All the powers, all the institutions speak of themselves through denial, in order to attempt, by simulating death, to escape their real death throes. [...] For example: it would be interesting to see whether the repressive apparatus would not react more violently to a simulated holdup than to a real holdup. Because the latter does nothing but disturb the order of things, the right to property, whereas the former attacks the reality principle itself." - Jean Baudrillard (Simulacra & Simulation - 1981)
    "Our rulers, who rule our symbols, and so rule a symbolic class of life, impose their own infantilism on our instituitions, educational methods, and doctrines. This leads to maladjustment of the incoming generations which, being born into, are forced to develop under the un-natural (for man) semantic conditions imposed on them. In turn, they produce leaders afflicted with the old animalistic limitations. The vicious circle is completed; it results in a general state of human un-sanity, reflected again in our instituitions. And so it goes, on and on." - Alfred Korzybski (Science and Sanity: An Introduction to Non-Aristotelian Systems and General Semantics - 1933)
    "I am a cosmopolitan." - Diogenes
    "If I could not be Alexander, I should wish to be Diogenes." - Alexander the Great
    "A man is no less a slave because he is allowed to choose a new master once in a term of years." - Lysander Spooner (No Treason: Constitution of No Authority - 1867)
    "It is incredible how as soon as a people become subject, it promptly falls into such complete forgetfulness of its freedom that it can hardly be roused to the point of regaining it, obeying so easily and willingly that one is led to say that this people has not so much lost its liberty as won its enslavement." - Étienne de la Boétie (Discours de la servitude volontaire ou le Contr'un - 1577)
    "Leadership in government is political power, and political power is an official form of antagonizing the people. Politics are rules imposed upon the people. They have every man in a straight jacket and without a passport he cannot move a toe. In a free world, they violate the natural rights of every citizen. They have become the weapons of political despots and if you don't think as they think you're deprived of your passport." - Michael Chaplin as Rupert Macabee (A King in New York - 1957)
    "Imagine, if you will, a world filled only with criminals of whom there are two classes: those too honest to rationalize their crimes and the powerful who scapegoat them." - Rod Serling
