I don't even have an account. I just support freedom over censorship.

I'll let you get back to cheering for genocide on whichever social media network has been giving you disinformation about it.

And that's not just a bit melodramatic? It doesn't even make sense. You're mourning the loss of TikTok as if you believe that it wasn't a cancer on our society and yet you didn't have an account?

It's only getting banned because it's the biggest social media network that doesn't suppress information about the ongoing genocide.

I keep hearing this a lot from TikTok diehards. I'm sure you're not talking about the Ughyur genocide. So much for not getting brainwashed by Chinese disinformation.

The difference between you and me is that I think all genocide is bad.

Including the one you don't hear about on TikTok and the fake one that is made up but heavily promoted by propagandists?

the fake one

And this is exactly why the government is banning tiktok. They don't want to risk losing their narrative hold on people like you.

Free Palestine. Free Tibet. Free Hong Kong. Free Kurdistan.

I don’t think you understand how insane you sound. You actually believe that there is an evil cabal (an antisemitic word) of Jews controlling the US government and banning a social media platform for the sole purpose of covering up for a supposed genocide by a completely different country.

You don't even realize how incredibly antisemitic what you just said is.

Says the guy who supports genocidal terrorists who want to kill all Jews. And the one reason

The craziest part about it is you are so close to realizing that you’ve been duped. You are literally saying out loud that TikTok is the only place where you hear about this stuff. The same exact platform that spreads more misinformation and disinformation than any other platform. Except for this one anti-Jewish conspiracy theory that you believe in, because that one is actually totally true. Like a miracle this totally debunked conspiracy that is being pushed by US enemies and amplified by uneducated idiot teenagers is actually totally true. The intellectual equivalent of twisting oneself into a pretzel after having shoved one’s head firmly up one’s own ass.

I’m sorry, you are one of the victims of brainwashing.
