While students and faculty, under the guise of their own and the university’s safety, will no longer be allowed to access TikTok via university WiFi they can still carry a firearm on campus and in classrooms. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/tiktok-banned-university-of-texas-austin-campus-1234662400/
@RollingStone In other words, UT Austin is complying with the laws of the State of Texas and the lawful orders of the Governor of the State of Texas.
@larthallor @RollingStone so that makes it ok.
Gotcha 👍

@fritzcokid @RollingStone
It does ... from the standpoint of blaming UT for this. Which is what the post, headline, subheading, and first sentence all are designed to imply.

This framing by Rolling Stone is an underhanded way to milk more rage induced clicks from people who hate guns, of which there are way more than people who care about a TikTok ban.

The Texas Campus Carry law to allow students who are licensed to carry to do so on campus was signed in June 2015.

@larthallor @RollingStone there are too many guns in America. Priorities here seem pretty messed up. Apps don't have the capacity to kill.
UT may be following the law but that doesn't make the law ok.
I don't hate guns but I do recognize America has a gun fetish problem.
