Respectfully, part of the frustration about TT ban is that TT allows direct exchange of ideas in a way we haven’t seen & could be used as a crucible for ideas that then moved into the formal democratic process (e.g., increased awareness, calls to action). So the loss of 1 is relevant to the other.

Just a thought: Instead of TikTok, how about we ban assault weapons first?

One thing the TikTok ban discourse has not included is that many TikTok creators privately do not like TikTok, which of course they’re not saying because none of us want it banned.
It’s a brutal creative ecosystem that extracts from creators until they burnout and then they are replaced.

Donald Trump’s first inauguration was estimated to be the largest single-day of protest in U.S. history.
This year, thousands are expected to turn out at demonstrations to honor Martin Luther King and protest Trump.
But their numbers are expected to be far smaller than they were eight years ago.

The fact that it looks like Tik Tok is making a deal with Trump is very worrying. Authoritarians consolidate power by controlling the narrative. We must fight back but the challenge is daunting.

MAGA thinks banning works on Tik Tok, books, abortions, weed, drag shows, immigration, public schools, CRT… but for some reason the ONLY thing that a ban won’t do anything to help is mass shooting

Do you think we get a vote? Between the oligarchs, corporate personhood, gerrymandering, legal bribery, electoral college, Senate obstruction, Supreme Court, unelected bureaucrats, rigged primaries, a captured media, and the central bank cracking a whip on us... Do you seriously think we get a vote?
