Re: TikTok 'aggressively' taking down videos about Bin Laden 'Letter to America'
#2Noam Chomsky argues the United States is a leading terrorist state. Does that mean TikTok is going to take down anything related to US foreign policy?
Are regular people not allowed to read or share content created by anyone the US government doesn’t like? Are people not allowed to form their own opinions?
What a joke. The “free” democratic west where communication is limited by a handful of large corporate interests and a murderous government that pressures them to censor content they don’t like.
TikTok may be owned by a Chinese company but there is no doubt in my mind they are being pressured by US authorities to control what is disseminated on their platform. I don’t think congress just forgot about wanting to ban TikTok, I think it’s likely they were able to rein in control of the platform.
What Osama Bin Laden did in 2001 isn’t justifiable but neither is decades of US interventionist foreign policy that has left millions of innocent people dead or living in poverty and continues to the present day.

TikTok is a private company and your use of their service is not a right.

My criticism of there being a few corporate gatekeepers of communication that are bullied by the government to censor content it doesn’t like is valid. You’re free to believe whatever neocon libertarian nonsense you wish.

Chomsky argues many things but the only things you should take from him without a whole tablespoon of salt has to do with linguistics. Certainly not geopolitics.

I don’t support any government bullying of private companies, although I’m sure any level of consistency would be unfamiliar to people like you.
Should TikTok be allowed to control what goes onto their service? That’s a yes or no question.

Except for the incredibly inconvenient and annoying coincidence that he happens to be right in his critiques of US foreign policy most of the time.

The government bullying left-leaning foreign governments is chill though, right guys?

No. The US government should stay out of other countries business’. They should even stay out of NATO. But again, I’m sure you don’t have that level of consistency.

Do you believe Osama bin Laden has the right to kill civilians, as he claims in his letter?
