Why? Isn’t that as racist as the us banning TikTok in the first place?

I smell a double standard from the red and yellow country again.

Idiots tend to think that lemmy tends to think everything is free, has no clue about real-world costs. Also they have bad breath.

ONLY if they aren’t sweaty.

Please criticize the us government for this as hard as I have been criticizing China for locking it’s citizens out of the world stage with their “great firewall”.

Or don’t, it’s not like hypocrisy doesn’t get enshrined and worshipped here lmfaoooo

Yes the country with 200 billionaires is totally socialist and not a capitalistic shithole borrowing honor from their own past because modern Chinese leadership is such a tragic failure.

nobody told me federated social media would be federated boofuckinghoo

Don’t tell me, a .ml user came here to complain about whataboutism.

Dumn liberals, only tankies get to do concern trolling and whataboutism.

How many western apps are banned in west Taiwan, anyway?

Too bad you can’t find a guide to locating like-minded folks on TikTok anymore

It’s really making me super sad 😢

Great! You’re in luck!

Cool

Bye tiktok

TikTok also claims it isn’t spyware

You must have a lot invested in that particular shitposting app.

You don’t have to attach yourself to everything you enjoy. It’s okay to leave yourself some wiggle rook to learn and grow.

Aww man, the government here won’t let me use the reeducation of undesirables as a smokescreen to produce fast fashion in my chattel-slavery styled sweat-shops :(

Wah wahh

The foreign capitalist/imperialist app ran by a despot who approved this app for me to useeeeeee.

So are the xinny apps

Two things can be bad at once you dipshit 😘

Imagine using being unfathomably addicted to trusting an app parented and developed in a country where you can’t criticize your leaders.

do you really think I give a shit about tencent?

Yes, but I don’t understand why.

I just wanted to point out that this could have negative consequences for open source projects.

Something tells me the private billion dollar tech conglomerate doesn’t host a lot of “open source” projects.

Projects sponsored by them could lose a funding source, or any help work done by them could cease because of this.

That’s true, what sort of wholesome projects would lose funding? I would love to see that they sponsor the world’s largest food bank or help casualties of war get adequate medical treatment or fit for prosthetics (there isn’t a lot of money to be made in philanthropy in case you weren’t aware, i have 0 faith in tencent being benevolent in any way).

Cry more and maybe the west will care (we won’t, but still… try)

Lol they cry like tankies when defederation talks begin.
