Chinesecompanybytedancetries to fragilisewesterndemocracies episode 1937392Logically the number should be higher than the previous comments (just sayin').
No no, this is a parallel show running right after the one before.

You know two things can be true, right?
Of course and they are. My point is people hate in tiktok all the time because it's Chinese and because they harvest data while ignoring the fact Facebook/Instagram snapchat etc are all doing the same stuff and they don't get met with a ban.
Because one is domestic and one is not. It's pretty simple to understand. Geopolitics is still a thing.
One is domestic. Who stills sells that data to China 😂
I assure you I have hated Facebook long before TikTok
They should, and the EU should logically ban both if they're unwilling to moderate the hate-speech and lies that infest their platforms.
Exactly I completely agree. But it's an obvious move to fill the pockets of politicians because they own stocks in Meta and meta has been lobbying against tiktok for years.
It's not China actively manipulating things. It's the algorithm that was getting gamed by the right wing. It's not like the Cambridge Analytica scandal where Facebook was working directly with companies that were trying to get Trump elected. It's more like the pipeline on YouTube, where it's just algorithms funneling people into what's popular ends up being gamed by conservative people. In the US, Tik Tok was known for helping the "woke left", so obviously it's not the same big conspiracy controlling both.
The thing is, it can also be used for good in that it can show people things like what's happening in Palestine without being censored by the US, like other US controlled social media has been.
