It’s so funny because when the social media’s companies were spying on kids in the early 00’s nobody lifted a finger and now since Congress can’t control kids because they all left the shitty American Conservative spy network of Facebook, Google, and Snap they gotta shut down the Chinese spy network so they can add it to their conservative spy network.
American tech companies suck dick and eat shit. Non-compete agreements have been the cause but now lets see some shit come out that circumvents the shitbag spy network.
I like how they’re still referring to it as some ban as if Meta, Google, and Amazon aren’t about to fight with fistfulls of money over who gets to own it.
If it happens nothing of value will be lost. I say if because ByteDance has almost certainly already created a western shell company backed by Chinese billionaires to buy TikTok and keep it running.
The best part about capitalism is that it loves a level playing field and when people can’t provide a superior product the government steps in and bans the competition
Isn’t that exactly what the fed you’re on does? Whole lot of witchhunting communists, screaming about defedding this, that, and the third, and all in all, running a nazi bar McCarthy could be proud of? Methinks you don’t apply your own ‘principles’ consistently.
Instagram, Snapchat were also not normal social media. Also kids like you forget Vine was the OG Tiktok, made by USA. 6 second video cancer. Vine infact tried to launch a Tiktok competitor Bytes and failed.
Good, maybe it’ll drive people away from social media. Trumpism? 100% caused by social media. Anti-vaccine movement and COVID Denial? 100% social media driven.
Social media has killed more people in the last decade than anything else. Facebook and TikTok will be the downfall of our civilization as we know it.
Yeah driven by the social media that competes with TikTok. Now all that is going to be available to Americans will be the platforms that bias right wing content.
Jacobin: Why the Twitter Files Are in Fact a Big DealOn the Left, there’s been a temptation to dismiss the revelations about Twitter’s internal censorship system that have emerged from the so-called Twitter Files project. But that would be a mistake: the news is important and the details are alarming.
Lmao people still on that russiagate shit. No, memes did not make Trump a thing. America was already a really racist country, and they put that up against an infamous neoliberal hag. Of fucking course you guys were going to vote him in. Who outside astroturf wanted to vote Hillary?
As of June 2022, 100% of all U.S. user traffic is routed to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure in the United States, and today all access to that environment is managed exclusively by TikTok U.S. Data Security. We have begun the process of irretrievably deleting historic protected user data in our own Virginia and Singapore data centers; once that process is complete, it will effectively end all access to protected U.S. user data outside of TikTok USDS except under limited circumstances stipulated in our proposed national security agreement.
Last I checked Singapore wasn’t a part of the US, but nonetheless, Cross region replication is a thing too. Just because it’s routed to infrastructure in the US does not mean it says on that infrastructure.
They control the user data, but not the algorithm and the moneys…
They are angry teens are getting radicalised by leftist anti-imperialist content, and they are jealous the new biggest thing is not owned by an American oligarch.
I used to think there wasn’t a conspiracy until I visited the states and heard a neoliberal loudly ranting to themselves about how they’re “not able control people through the media anymore because everyone’s on the internet” There it was, straight out of the horse’s asshole.
If they themselves believe in the conspiracy than why the hell shouldn’t I?
