How many care if TikTok goes away?

I watch some TikTok videos and would have to find another amusement.

The issue for me is how far does this go...is it going to be like the abortion thing, that leads to the birth control thing, that leads to the frozen embryo thing?

Abbott wants to get rid of TikTok.  What's next?  News shows that aren't on FOX?  Will they get rid of my addiction (True Crime).  Will the DeSatans of the world decide the Disney channel has to go?

For a party that is supposed to be about small government they really seem to want to decide how many squares of toilet paper we can use.

I thought is was pretty much a bipartisan agreement vote.

BTW, Trump who wanted to get rid of it now wants to keep it, why, financial backing by a large share holder.  https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trumps-t...=108013785

I do not care. I checked out the platform once, but I did not experience the appeal. But I believe it is a better platform for people than X.

That right there is what is known as damning with faint praise.  Great Neither one are worth the electrons they molest.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

I was never under the impression that Republican means small government and Democrat means big government. I always thought that was way too simplistic an explanation to be real.

I avoid the platform entirely. It may as well not exist to me.

Ironically, the first time I heard of it I thought it was a new platform. Turns out, it had been around for many years.

Religions are good at creating sheep.

Dictators require sheep.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
