Emily Ratajkowski Unleashes Insane Take On TikTok Potentially Being Banned

Emily Ratajkowski has an unhinged take on the government mulling over a potential ban on TikTok.

The federal government is currently debating what to do with the Chinese-based app amid major national security concerns. A bill that would force a sale or ban the app passed the House of Representatives, and it's now time to see what the Senate will do.

The core issues boil down to the CCP's incredible control over any business in China, and fears the app is nothing more than a device of the communists in Beijing to gather data on Americans.

There's no question in my mind that TikTok is a harmful app that should absolutely not be allowed to operate in America as long as the Chinese government could ever have a say. Would the United States have allowed an app run by a Soviet Union-aligned company to operate during the height of the Cold War? Absolutely not, but because there's dancing videos on TikTok, people think it's a harmless app. Wrong. Very wrong.

Ratajkowski's take? The government fears the app because there's too much freedom.

Emily Ratajkowski shares unhinged take on potential TikTok ban.

"Because this is one of the few platforms that isn't completely controlled by the U.S. government or through corporations that have the U.S. government's interests in mind, progressive politics have been able to blossom on here. We have been able to see stories and point of views we would not have access to otherwise. TikTok is being banned because the U.S. government is legitimately scared by the influence it's having on the American people and the general population. Which to me indicates TikTok is a very powerful tool for organization, alternative thinking and for activism...We should be really, really scared. This is a huge moment in our history," Ratajkowski said in a TikTok video released Thursday.

Yes, the government wants to ban TikTok not because it can be weaponized by the CCP but because *checks notes* it's just a place for the free flow of ideas. Make that one make sense, Emily.

This take from Ratajkowski is so detached from reality that it's hard to believe it's real. Imagine getting on the internet and simping for the CCP. What a time to be alive! Yes, the government wants to ban it because it hates freedom so much and definitely not because of concerns it can be a CCP influence tool.

The really scary part is many of her followers completely agree. The comments are wild. Check out a small sampling below:

• The TikTok ban made me realize that America is NORTH KOREA but with a bow on it.
• I work in cybersecurity. It's 10000% not about privacy concerns. They're upset we're organizing without oversight.
• TikTok has taught me more than my 16 YEARS OF EDUCATION.
• They saw us unite.
• I’ve never experienced more open dialogue and connection to new ideas except through TikTok, all other platforms (insta) feel filtered and restricted.
• I’ve learned more on tik tok about history or the truth about situations than I have from our government.
• TikTok is a raw unhinged grassroots movement and the GOV fears anything they can’t control. The same practices of Capitalism and imperialism are not working against the TikTok community. Resist.

The brain rot is real and it's incredibly scary. We're in a de-facto cold war with China and the CCP, and Americans are *BEGGING* for the government to not ban an app the Chinese government could without question exert extreme control over at any given time.

No business in China is free of the CCP's influence. It's a communist dictatorship. Why would anyone assume TikTok is exempt? Xi Jinping is probably laughing all the way to the bank watching Americans fight tooth and nail to save TikTok from either being sold or banned.
