Abgesehen davon, dass ich TikTok nicht mag weil ich deren Zweck nicht einsehe, nutzen es sehr viele und vor allem sehr junge Menschen und dies auch kommerziell. Wie eben YouTube & Co. und eigentlich nicht viel anders aber auch als politische Propaganda eine Konkurenz zusätzlich.
🧵 …nicht nur das was in den oberen Toots über TikTok steht, sondern auch des hier. Das sieht nach dem inneren Beunruhigen von Gesellschaften um die Macht über sie und Staaten erleichtert zu erhalten.
»Radikalisierung junger Männer:Durch TikTok zu #islam'istischer Weltsicht: #Homophobie, Verbot außerehelichen Geschlechtsverkehrs und keine Freundschaft zu Nicht-#Muslim'en – Diese Inhalte finden sich auf #TikTok - und sie radikalisieren #Jugendliche.«
Stunning. 34% of the population in Chinese prisons are #Uyghurs, who make up ~1-2% of the population.
China has a top-down strategy to, basically, criminalize an entire ethnic group and, with time, eliminate their unique cultural, religious, and social identity.
Partnering or working with the Chinese government means supporting these genocidal policies. That includes #climate & #environment groups, too.

Here's wishing #EidMubarak to all those celebrating today.
As the month of #Ramadan (#Islamic fasting month) comes to an end, #Muslims worldwide thank the Almighty by offering prayers at Mosques & #Eid celebrations.
"In many Muslim majority countries..the charge of blasphemy remains a powerful tool for those in power to consolidate support, silence critics and target minorities. In the west, so-called community leaders – usually self-appointed gatekeepers – similarly use blasphemy claims to police Muslim communities and reinforce their power within them"
Kenan Malik on how the plurality of opinion in Muslim communities is ignored.
An #explosion rocked a concert hall in the Moscow region & several #gunmen opened fire on theatergoers Fri evening, acc/to Russian authorities & videos from the scene, a deadly attack >1 week after #Putin was re-elected.
The attack on Fri in #Moscow, like a Jan assault in #Iran claimed by the grp, could prompt a reassessment of its ability to strike outside its home territory.
In addition to a public warning on Mar 7 about a possible attack, #US ofcls had privately told Russian ofcls about #intelligence pointing to an impending #attack.
#CW - vid has graphic images of injuries on #African#Muslim students. The police didn't help stop the violent attacks.
More than a dozen men have attacked #InternationalStudents who were performing #Ramadan prayers at their #Gujarat University accommodation. Police say they are investigating.
@RealJournalism I, too, hope it doesn't come down to that but how many people will pull a "#Vietnam draft dodge" and flee to #Canada or other countries rather than take a stand. I keep thinking about the #Muslim#activist in #MI who says even if #trump wins, the #Constitution will protect her. Good luck with that!
Join us in recognizing the start of #Ramadan, a sacred month of prayer, reflection, and community, observed by Muslims around the globe.
