But are you diagnosed with microplastics?

Gives a new meaning to a Swiss knife.

Inflated prices and a lack of disposible income will do that.

Please read the article. Is it possible tiktok can/is being used for nefarious purposes? Yes. Is this specific argument, which will set a precedent to be used in future court cases, the way to go about banning the platform? No.

Yo, who tf downvoted this?

I am seeing a lot of "Good riddance, tiktok bad cause brainrot." on other tiktok ban posts, so I'll put this here:

This article from 2024 gives a pretty good rundown as to why using this reasoning to ban Tiktok will set a very bad precedent:

If the govt cared about your data privacy, they would create data collection regulations that they could then use to ban tiktok if/when they violate them.

It's bean weaker.

Previously, gig platforms only had to report information to the IRS for workers who earned more than $20,000 and completed at least 200 transactions.  The new thresholds are designed to make it harder for gig workers to avoid paying taxes on their income.

“Like their fellow Americans who earn income through traditional means, U.S. taxpayers who earn income from digital and other platforms that comprise the gig economy need to pay their fair share of taxes,” IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel said in a statement. “The world is getting smaller for tax cheats, and we will work collaboratively with our partners to vigorously enforce the nation’s tax laws.”

This seems to be a popular trend for justifying shitty working conditions.
