  • Don’t use TikTok, don’t really care too much either way, but watching this whole thing unfold is starting to open my eyes to the ways these companies can shape public opinion.

    They’re apparently sending notifications to people to contact their reps and it seems very likely that they’re promoting content that advocates against the ban.

    I’m not a fan of censorship or blocking internet services but TikTok really seems to trying to make a good case for it.

    Otoh, and this probably sounds absolutely fucking nuts, I’ve found republicans tend to understand “strength” and they are strangely respectful of liberal and leftist gun owners because that’s a dynamic they can comprehend. It’s not a good state of affairs but it’s better than them believing they can just run things because they’re the only ones with “strength”
