The video sharing app faces being banned in the US unless it severs ties with its China's ByteDance.

    Case in point: all the college protests. All the arrests happening are from people being encouraged on TikTok to become aggressive and angry towards apartheid. But the question is how the fuck is protesting at a college going to change what a government in another country is going to do in any way? The Israeli government gives little to no fuck about kids opinions protesting at a college campus in the United States. It’s likely civil unrest being spread by TikTok.

      THEY ARE TRYING TO STOP THE GENOCIDE BEING PERPETRATED IN THEIR NAME

      WTF is wrong with you?

            How is protesting at a college going to stop it?

              The colleges have relationships with the companies that make the bombs and have direct investments in Israel.

                Why not also protest at, I don’t know, the White House or Congress? The people who make policy work there, a college faculty can’t do shit to affect Israeli strategic policy.

              The cops start mass arrests regardless of aggression.

          Funded by Amerikan money. The government you uplift, and everyone who still supports them after eight months of unmitigated genocide, is complicit. Is a collaborator.

      College protests have been a thing since Vietnam. Look up Kent State.

      It wasn’t China that gave them the idea, it was history.

      And it’s working. More and more people are sympathizing with Palestine the more the government overreacts to peaceful protests.

      If they don’t care then why did satanyahu come out in a speech against it? Protesting does work and does matter. You only need to look at history to see that

      Pretty sure people protesting in the US are trying to influence the US govt.
