That is some old ass debunked nonsense. See here. "Westerners" from the North can't even be bothered to read a bit before spewing racist conspiracy theories.

No country has a perfect history, go back far enough and we all have dark periods in how we’ve treated people.
Mate, this is not history. It's right now. Unless you're ten you should even remember shit like the start of bombing of Libya which goes beyond even local politics. How much dodgier is China compared to "The West" even if you do believe the Zenz conspiracy, when the big leader country of that has let Native life expectancy drop 10 years during the pandemic, or how even European indigenous cultures like the Catalan get jail for daring to make a referendum on independence?
To all weirdos thinking that the UK of all countries cares about free speech, have a read. It's already silly when you do this for the USA, worse yet abroad.
That ban also applied to public universities in Texas, which moved to block TikTok from campus Wi-Fi networks and school-owned devices. Texas A&M and the University of Texas were among the colleges that complied with the ban, limiting access to the hit social video app across their campuses.
They are literally barring its use through public university Wi-Fi. Not even needing to get into the hypocrisy of banning TikTok but not similar shit like Instagram, or the fact that both university students and professionals use TikTok both for social connections and for work, it is a clear curtailing of a form of communication over others through the government. Would banning lemmy.world from some public internet connections not be an infringement on the unalienable right to assemble and speech? RTFA.

How is it treasonous to cut support for a foreign country, exactly?
I assume the vote on the next text will be on Monday from now on, is that correct?
Yeah, I understand that that was the case with the USA, which is probably the slave country Engels was most acquainted with. But in other southern colonies freed slaves often still managed to get the right to property and sometimes became prominent and even racist themselves. Toussaint himself had been a prominent freedman in Saint Domingue before the revolution, and slave countries often had a separate "race" called "mulatto/mestizo" to designate people with both white and black ascendency. I mentioned the indentured servants there because they and future proletarians and craftspeople made such a big portion of the population as white people, compared to other slave colonies that had upwards of 60% of their population be black and/or slave. If I were to hazard a guess, that would be one of the reasons why the Settler States of Amerika managed to both pass and maintain so many explicitly racist laws, with a explicitly racist police force and constitution without immediately getting consumed in fiery revolution.
Considering some extreme and very unsolved problems current generative AI has with anything cohesive for long generations, it's probably going to be just as bad as most Unitedstadian TV.
Did you know a lot of research is both posted on and based on those "time wasting" sites such as Youtube, Twitter and TikTok? Since social media is such a big fixture of our societies, social scientists basically depend on them for a lot of cool research that is now getting blocked by nonsense. Not to mention that "state networks" means literally public Wi-Fi. How terrified are you of TikTok that you're more afraid of it hacking your Wi-Fi than literally every other proprietary software?
