In defense of TikTok

The GAE's elites want TikTok banned because they cannot control it

I recently downloaded TikTok after avoiding it for years. I kept hearing about it spying on people, how awful China was for owning it, and all the rest of the propaganda that has been spewed about TikTok.

TikTok has the best algorithm in social media

After having it for a few hours, I realized something: TikTok is delightful!

The TikTok algo is far better than anything I’ve seen on other social media services. It has managed to keep giving me videos that I’m interested in and I like, with few mistakes. When I do bump into something I don’t like, I long press on the screen and choose “Not Interested” and it disappears.

So what have I been watching? Lots of videos of animals such as moose, cats, deer, bears, and other critters. I also love the natural scenery videos, as well as some interesting personalities I’ve bumped into as I’m scrolling through my feed.

Do you know what I haven’t seen? Crap about Israel versus the Palestinians. Yup, it’s not showing up in my feed. Gee, I wonder why? Could it be that I haven’t searched for it and indicated interest in it?

Angry oligarchs can’t control TikTok and want it banned

As you might have heard, the ethnic oligarchs that rule the GAE want TikTok banned because it supposedly is “brainwashing” young people into taking the Palestinian side when we all know that the GAE and its regime media demand that everybody side with Israel even if people just don’t give a damn either way.

In other words, TikTok is messing up their ability to control the narratives used to brainwash the population of the GAE. This they cannot stand, and thus you see them freaking out and demanding that TikTok be banned.

It’s quite telling that the GAE’s elites are furious that there’s a social media platform that they cannot force to serve their interests. Even Elon Musk’s X has had to placate them in one way or another, but, for now at least, TikTok mostly remains outside of their direct control.

I also feel compelled to point out that the ethnic oligarchs and the rest of the GAE elites have pushed woke communism on the population of the empire for the last 30 years. So if they want to find out who is responsible for today’s youth taking the Palestinian side, they should look in the mirror.

TikTok is treading a cautious path to avoid being banned

That does not mean that TikTok has not been responsive to controversies created to serve the interests of the GAE’s elites. It put up a page that outlined how it is handling the Israel versus Palestine war. TikTok knows that the knives are out for it, and it is taking steps to try to avoid being banned by Apple and Google, as well as the GAE’s corrupt government, along with the GAE’s slave states in Europe.

You might have also heard that TikTok is owned by China and controlled in Beijing. Well, you would be wrong according to some information posted on the official TikTok news site.

There’s more on that news page if you want to find out more about TikTok, but the bottom line is that the propaganda being blasted around the GAE is just designed to stoke anger at TikTok and try to build support for banning it.

Is it possible that the stuff on that page is bullshit created by China? Possibly, but I don’t see TikTok as being any worse than the social media sites that the GAE’s government has tried to control over the last few years. We have direct evidence of the GAE’s government violating the First Amendment during the fake pandemic by ordering social media services to censor content it did not like.

I know a boomer dingbat who has already fallen for the propaganda and views TikTok as some sort of evil conspiracy to corrupt the GAE’s youth. It’s absurd, but she is plugged into the Con Inc media-plex and thus is constantly taking in the bullshit they put out 24x7.

TikTok and Osama Bin Laden’s letter

TikTok has also recently come under fire because Osama Bin Laden’s “Letter to America” went viral. TikTok responded by removing the hashtag related to the letter but that sort of inane censorship never works. Youth are always attracted to the forbidden, and some of the young people on TikTok have now become enthralled with Islam and are putting out videos sharing their thoughts as they try to become Muslims.

While I doubt many of these younger people who are converting to Islam (or pretending to get views and likes) are serious about it, their interest in it demonstrates how they will go in the exact opposite direction older people are trying to push them toward.

By trying to force TikTok to censor Osama Bin Laden’s letter, the GAE has only increased his mystique and ensured that more younger people will seek out information about him and his views, and about Islam itself. It’s the Streisand Effect in action yet again, but none of the geriatrics and other idiots in power in the GAE ever seem to learn, they just ratchet up the censorship and it backfires and blows up in their faces.

While I disagree with TikTok’s decision to ban hashtags and other kinds of content that the GAE’s elites don’t like, I also understand that the company is trying to survive. TikTok has competitors who would love to see it banned and removed from Google and Apple’s app stores, and those competitors have bought and paid for minions inside the GAE’s corrupt government.

In other words, TikTok must tread very carefully indeed. It has many enemies who would love to see it go down in flames. Too many missteps in terms of content, and those enemies are likely to use any weapons they have to try to destroy TikTok altogether.

TikTok is one of the best social media apps available

As for me, I’ll continue to enjoy TikTok. It relaxes and amuses me in ways that other social media services do not. In the short time I’ve been using it, I’ve enjoyed TikTok far more than any other social media service I’ve used over the years.

If you haven’t tried it yet, I recommend downloading it for Android or iOS and giving it a shot. You might find it as delightful and entertaining as I have.
