Why Tik Tok Could be all Done.

Democracy could be Expressing Itself in Mysterious Ways

The king of Meme platforms, Tik Tok, came to the attention of US authorities.

That attention was claimed to be over security.

Of course we know the Chinese Government could routinely access Tik Tok’s data.

Just like we also know the US Government can routinely access all of the popular US platforms data.

But we made it popular anyway.

Most folk know the real motivation of the US government to act is actually fear.

They are concerned that the power of Memes, a language spoken and understood mostly by Gen Z, would be used by that critical mass, to move in a direction contrary to US colonial interests.

Firstly, it was muted to ban the platform.

Now it is muted to buy it.

Buy it by the same tech corporation that bought Github a few years ago. This is the same tech corporation that was conveniently omitted from the US anti-monopoly talks last week. The same tech company that services almost all Western PCs via their OS. The same tech company that lost its long standing humanitarian founder last year.

Tik Tok is not an unusual technology.

It is a content management platform, similar to Youtube, which has been around a relatively long time.
