With Trumpster going after TikTok claiming it is a CHina China plot to attack `Murican democracy I got to wondering that if Social Media such an issue for democratic countries during elections then maybe Social Media should be suspended in the run up to an election?

Its popular with yoofs and is made in China so Trumpster thinks its a Chinese government plot to influence young voters.

The actual reason will be targeted advertising because no doubt uploading to it or even having the app will mean your location and anything else they can get hold of will be sent to HQ and passed on.
Just like YT FB and Twitter etc

Tiktok is basically a Chinese data collection platform thinly veiled as a social media platform.

They're all a curse in my opinion. I'm only on fbk because work uses it otherwise I'd happily just use email and the olde worlde phone to keep in touch with people.

Val has disappeared, I suspect finally succumbing to too many CoronaVirus affected trips.

I wouldn't want to dishonour his memory.

He was kidnapped by MDF 4x2 to be used as a sex-slav.

MDF 4x2 screaming, "Brexit. Brexit, Brexit" repeatedly at the top of her voice as she dildos Val. (All done to a Reggie Beat.)

More likely brought about because a campaign by the yoofs of TikTok resulted in the ecstatic braying of an orange cunt because his forthcoming rally was bigly overbooked. He wasn't very chuffed when almost no-one turned up, had to cancel a speech planned to the crowds in the overflow section outside the venue because he couldn't fill the venue let alone an overflow area.
