No, they did however increase engagement in democracy in a very dramatic fashion. More people making demands from their government is a good thing.

TikTok has to adhere to the exact same laws as Facebook and Twitter, foreign ownership doesn't change that.

Adversarial to whom? Not me, I'm far more concerned about the US government who in this case is directly limiting my choices as a US citizen.

A human is not a bot. In addition to being dehumanizing, it removes agency to say that.

How is it a botnet? Apple isn't going to allow botnet like behavior in any app it approves in the app store.

It's no worse that what Facebook or Twitter does (or has done). I would prefer to have a plurality of options and not be limited to apps that are owned by countries the US deems "allies".

It's not "hate speech" to call to the end of an apartheid government.

It's probably the clearest example of an apartheid state that exists today.

You're making a lot of assumptions about my position. I most certainly do think we owe both indigenous people and Black people massive amounts of land reparations in the US.

Israel can be disbanded just like South Africa was disbanded. It has less support than ever before politically.

Israel must face the reality that is an apartheid state that exists on occupied land. There is no solution until that happens. Just like apartheid South Africa was dismantled, Israel has to face the same fate or forever be locked into warfare and oppressing Palestinians.

I don't believe that might makes right and just because Israel is armed and backed by the West does not give them impunity to steal land. 1948 was not hundreds of years ago, there are people who are still alive who were ethnically cleansed from their land and forced into Gaza. Palestinians have a much stronger right of return than anyone who wasn't living in Palestine prior to 1948.

Zionists worked to recruit Jewish people from Arab nations to populate Israel. It wasn't until Zionist intervention that hostilities ramped up.

Zionists even false flag attacked Iraqi Jews to help spur immigration to Israel:

Like the parent says, these have all been widely reported on. I think we have to come into this conversation with a base level of the events that are going on before commenting.
