in nepal posting in “vulgar” language is also forbidden by law, as is stuff like stating that you are poly on social media, so them passing another overreaching censorship law is no surprise.
Source?
um… where did you get that information?
How about you read the one link you are commenting on before asking for another? It is in the article.
I read the article. The article doesn’t mention “vulgar language being illegal”. I’m from Nepal and I’m going to ask where people come up with made up scenarios.
I’m not surprised, it’s Chinese spyware
“A lie told often enough becomes true.”
it’s Chinese spyware
:-/
When the media explains mumbo-jumbo about technology.
I don’t really like Tiktok. But, forcing the choice on people probably isn’t the best idea either.
It’s CCP spyware. It should be banned everywhere.
What about American Spy Ware?
Lol you’re getting downvoted but I wonder why CCP spyware is so bad, compared to USA spyware. Disappointing on Lemmy you are getting downvoted. For the people downvoting you, it’s bad when China does something, but when the US does the same thing, it’s totally okay!
Americans have been brainwashed into thinking it’s better to get fucked by American companies than companies abroad.
I always know a useful idiot when I see one based on how well they parrot talking points without understanding them.
They really have. It’s amazing when they start talking about the terrible things other countries do, but when I point out that the US does the same thing - oh no that’s different!
You know, in many ways, I think it’s something that brings us together.
If people could recognize that instead of dividing, we’d have a lot more power to take back what was stolen by governments.
What about ism?
It’s not really a whataboutism. We’re trying to understand what the diffence is between the two. US companies have spyware, CCP does too. Why is okay for one, and not the other?
US Good
China Evil
"I prefer to get fucked by Americans!’
Team America World Police wasn’t a parody.
Yes.
What do you mean? If the concern is spyware, then that concern exists whether your using American software or Chinese software.
If you don’t think the concern is spyware and it’s solely China, then don’t mention spyware. Say you don’t like it because it’s Chinese and leave it at that. You’d come across as more genuine.
The problem is both. I support none of them nor their evil efforts.
The difference is that Tiktok is controlled / influenced by the CCP and the other social media networks are controlled by corporate boards of directors. Tiktok is under the influence of evil communists, literally.
There’s plenty of U.S. equivalents. What’s your point?
He’s brainwashed into thinking giving Americans his data is better than giving the Chinese.
Must not know about PRISM, lol.
Nepalese residents will be infected with the insidious Chinese Mind Virus if they watch too many Chinese girls putting on make-up or C-Pop Boy Bands do the sissy-hypno dance. Then their society will collapse and China will be free to roll in the tanks. This is just like how China conquered the countries of Hong Kong, Tibet, and Tienanmen Square.
Oh no is the CCP going to arrest me?
Its about time to ban TikTok. Look what kind of youth have become. Kids doing crazy things for the “fame” of the internet - beating other kids to death, stealing cars, doing drugs, and all minds of illegal stuff just for fun and have lots of “likes”. My brother spends hours a day on TikTok he cant keep focused for a long time anymore. I dont trust him anymore because he forgets things all the time now. He is loosing lots of money and now in a huge debts because he was buying things too expensive for him just to upload pics and videos to be “recognised” n stuff… You can say that its my brothers fault, but TikTok and social media is dragging him more than anything. And it happens for a lot of people
I’ve had it, a long with X and everything meta/Facebook banned on my home network for a while now. It’s been great.
Good.
Lol. I remember when Trump said he was going to ban it and everyone was like nooooo. This is so concerning for free speech. Now that it’s not Trump doing it, everyone says: Great, everyone should ban it.
The motivations to van the app matter. Trump wanted to ban it to censure the “wokes”. Nepal bans it to prevent the spread of hate speach.
Social media and mostly the mainstream ones became an issue for democracy. These private companies must moderate before publishing. We must take them to account for what is on their platforms. Social medias are responsible for what is on them at the same level as the people posting it. If they don’t want to comply, it’s a ban.
All four of them
Fearmongering worked. Let’s get more nations to follow suit so we can have an American company dominate short-form video formats instead of a Chinese one.
Nepal sucks with this shit anyway.
Banning tiktok is just a dumb overreach.
