TikTok has been urging its users — many of whom are young — to call their representatives, even providing an easy link to the phone numbers.

Lol the first time I contacted my representatives was because Failblog told me to in order to kill the Stop Online Piracy Act around 2009. Glad the tradition's being kept alive.

The kids are alright

that's amazing, senators are getting death threats over banning tiktok, i love it, dumbest future

edit: commas for fediverse

New TikTok trend of posting comedic death threats against senators

This is why a lot of pro trans stuff is getting shot down too. There was just a safe-haven bill that got killed in Maine due to death threats. The fact that they won't listen to anything but death threats is bleak af.

I will finally download tiktok if it fills up with videos of kids doing the fortnite dance while yeeting their senator

Do it old man. Fuck around and find out. The children will Floss on your corpse TikTok has shooters

Egads! The horror of people being organised politically! How nefarious!

In Clown Country, is this is what it takes to get somebody "Shinzo Abe"d?

“I mean, it’s almost embarrassing,” says Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark Warner, D-Va., a former tech executive who is also supporting the TikTok bill and has long tried to push his colleagues to regulate the industry. “I would hate for us to maintain our perfect zero batting average on tech legislation.”

this shit would put you in the fucking negatives my guy

I'm in DC for a work thing and was shocked to see a TV ad extolling the virtues of TikTok. It basically followed the story of wounded purple heart Grandpa who needed a new scooter. The family tried everything but couldn't afford it and then... they took to tiktok. Holy shit! They were able to afford a scooter after donations rolled in! Isn't tiktok amazing?

It didn't specifically end with a call to congressman to stop the ban, but you could tell that's what they were going for.

If it passes the Senate, there's still a good chance it's DOA in the courts, just because it's so nakedly anti business

Wobbly?

"If you want to make a difference, write and call up your congressperson. No, not like that!"

This is the Land of the Treats, of course threatening to take them away results in death threats lol. How are they surprised?

I hope the calls and threats to kill Thom Tillis never stop 🥹

👏 MORE 👏 DEATH 👏 THREATS 👏 FOR 👏 POLITICIANS 👏
