TikTok is taking the US government to court.

    Every negative thing about Tiktok is also true about Instagram and Twitter.

      Except the part about the authoritarian regime, the US has many problems but it’s still a democracy.

        Given the choice between hot shit and cold shit still ends with you being covered in shit. Heads or tails between two very similar parties hardly counts as a true democracy.

          This is incredibly disingenuous. The US might not be a true democracy, but it’s not an authoritarian regime. Xi and putin disappear people who have an opinion on whether they should be forever-rulers.

          The fact that independent parties exist and hold seats at all three levels of government mean you are fundamentally wrong in saying there are only two choices.

          The US is a flawed democracy. That’s still better than an authoritarian regime.
