Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Why is it that we hate TikTok, again? Why is it a threat? Is TikTok any worse than Twitter and Facebook, or are we being told that it is because Congress doesn’t control it?
Tik Tok is literally Chinese Spyware, even more so than what’s already on your phone.
It exposes children to porn and other neuron-killing content. It will make your children socially messed up, crowd pleasing deviants.
I was wondering the same thing. How is TikTok any different than all the rest of the globohomo spy shit?
Because the CCP is the primary geopolitical pawn of the DS, and having the TikTok app on your phone gives them full access.
That means they can accumulate data on Americans as a whole, which they will use to harm / kill us. If you're a patriot, they can easily use that data to target you for coercion or other abusive manipulation (which will harm the greater patriot movement).
Oh -- and Trump himself repeatedly warned against TikTok many times.
Do you really need a better reason?
Right??
I don't understand the appeal of Tiktok in the first place, except for social media addicts. When you consider the CCP connection I can't see why any patriot would defend that platform.
Chyna spy with more than barroon. kek Here are a few links.
I can't find one article I read about the algos sending suicide videos to teenage users if they put in anything about being depressed. That was the real eye opener piece for me. Wish I could find it.

The DS and neocons are desperate for excuses to start a war with china, so they resort to scapegoating stupid shit like tik tok
