Tell me you’re a brain washed capitalist moron with… nm
Lol, reaching? In what way do you draw the conclusion that I am against TikTok for anything to do with capitalism? TikTok is a tool for the Chinese government to take user data while simultaneously providing nothing but brain rot to the consumers (of course, this isn't the case with the Chinese version, it actually shows educational content). Eat shit, Pooh Bear.
Are American social media platforms not sharing data with the American government?
They're all the same, banning one is missing the point.
No the government buys the data from them like everyone else 😏
Cool thing I didn't say "but Facebook is good and needs to stay" then, huh?
I thought this community was about political conversation WITHOUT the jerks
If banning the harvest of user data was the real reason for going after tiktok, they would've banned harvesting user data. Meta infamously sells their's to the highest bidder. Are you certain they don't sell to China? They've been caught lying about what they do with it before
Wild how two of you read what I wrote and inserted commentary about Meta that I never mentioned. Ban all of Meta too, please, I really mean it.
That's my point! We can't just have the government wack-a-moling businesses like that, that's not impartial governing.
No, I support comparing them to tiggers, because tiggers are wonderful things.
LMFAO, it's because he looks like fucking Winnie the Pooh you dipshit. 🤣
LMFAO, you aren't even a good troll. This is the most common and least effective style of trolling and it makes me laugh every time. Just quintuple down on everything, keep repeating yourself ad nauseum, I'm sure you'll convince me that I'm a racist soon if you just keep trying! 🤣
"Chinese government to take user data while simultaneously providing nothing but brain rot to the consumers (of course, this isn't the case with the Chinese version, it actually shows educational content)"
Isnt all the content on tiktok user-generated?
Isn't all the content on YouTube, Facebook, Reddit Lemmy, etc user created? It's about the moderation. What gets deleted, what gets promoted, those are the things that are different.
Are implying that the CCP is actively removing educational content from western tiktok?
No, I'm stating the fact.
nm = never mind
The intention was that I didn’t need your participation to make my point. But here we are. Thanks for the reinforcement!
