As of June 2022, 100% of all U.S. user traffic is routed to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure in the United States, and today all access to that environment is managed exclusively by TikTok U.S. Data Security. We have begun the process of irretrievably deleting historic protected user data in our own Virginia and Singapore data centers; once that process is complete, it will effectively end all access to protected U.S. user data outside of TikTok USDS except under limited circumstances stipulated in our proposed national security agreement.
Guess that wasn’t enough…
They control the user data, but not the algorithm and the moneys…
They are angry teens are getting radicalised by leftist anti-imperialist content, and they are jealous the new biggest thing is not owned by an American oligarch.
More gov’t censorship and control over social media…
Good, maybe it’ll drive people away from social media. Trumpism? 100% caused by social media. Anti-vaccine movement and COVID Denial? 100% social media driven.
Social media has killed more people in the last decade than anything else. Facebook and TikTok will be the downfall of our civilization as we know it.Ohh shut down lemmy shit next! It’s so comical to see lemmy and reditus bitching any social media and clapping for this.
If you’re in support of this shit you should be applauding us universities right now.
Yeah driven by the social media that competes with TikTok. Now all that is going to be available to Americans will be the platforms that bias right wing content.
Lmao people still on that russiagate shit. No, memes did not make Trump a thing. America was already a really racist country, and they put that up against an infamous neoliberal hag. Of fucking course you guys were going to vote him in. Who outside astroturf wanted to vote Hillary?
Trumpism? 100% caused by social media.

Also worth pointing out, as one youtube thumbnail put it “VPN companies aren’t going to go to jail for you over 10$”
Not sure those are really interested in video streaming customers. Those take a lot of bandwidth.
Only if they don’t sell.
There’s zero chance they’re gonna sell.
