I’m pretty sure there are no more complaints because those developers were fired. Problem solved. \s

Libs gonna push and push to censor TikTok, etc… Until the precedent comes back to haunt them.

Ban TikTok!!! \s

If an article is about TikTok and not social media in general, it’s most likely just imperial propaganda.

Donating to a fascist gala… $1,000,000.

Banning TikTok… Priceless!

It’s almost like the USA…

Tiktok could not figure out my desires at all when I tried it.

Same. It’s never given me what I want, but it’s never given me anything “evil” or even as terrible as Meta for example. I still use it for posting other stuff.

I don’t understand how these racist empires expect TikTok not to reflect that reality. It’s the extremes of denial,

“Surely we, germans, can not be the problem! It’s the chinese…” smh.

Realistic opinion: It takes zero “talent” to sit on a board and collect money.

(Ofc this zio wacko supports extreme inequality. Probably thinks poors are all palestinian.)

When the work a charity does is properly valued by a society, it’s economy would never need to carve out a special, nonprofit status for it.

Maybe, but in reality this almost never happens. The work of many charities is typically attacked by the state and other fascists. The current attack on non-profits is a great example. It’s disappointing but not surprising to see so many libs supporting this. The liberatory goals of charity are directly opposed to the oppressive goals of the state. For example capitalism relies on the hunger that charity purports to oppose.

It’s a racket based on torturing and exploiting animals. Don’t ever donate to that. What kind of ethics did you expect?

Donate to the cause of palestinian liberation. They’re a primary reason that the fascists are trying to end non-profits. They actually need support and actually help people, life, the planet, etc.

bitcoin corrupts absolutely. Disregarding all of bitcoin’s shortcomings, a financial instrument that brings out the worst in people—greed

Sounds completely un-ideological and science based. lol.

Obviously there’s some academic “merit” behind the technology—similar to studying the Ptolemaic epicycles—but far less so than what evangelists try to sell you [1]. Realizing the extent of its shady, ignorant [2], and spam-happy proponents

This article is just the mirror image.

There’s no science here either.

At my work we just make fun of all the BS hype, etc.

These data processing apps are just apps hooked up to big computers with big data. It’s no surprise when rich people buy a bunch of computers and data then run an app on it. It’s much more surprising that people are hyped into believing this is somehow important. “It took one week to copy an app and load the data!!! Wow!!!”

Nobody cares when “China” writes a decent word processing app or whatever, nor should they.

Headline: “How a little-known far-right candidate manipulated TikTok…”

Article: “He has used platforms like TikTok…”

Whenever there’s a headline about TikTok and not social media in general, you know the article is some imperial BS.

Which empire has the best firewall?

The state specializes in repressive violence, definitely not meaningful education.

It’s not just lemmy but anywhere that reasonable people have an accurate perception of reality.

Buh we gotta ban TikTok!!! Block kids from the internet!!! As long as they’re completely unaware of reality, we can force them to be happy.

Yes, they banned Craigslist ads in order to spawn something even more exploitative. Let’s see what happens after they ban OF. (seriously though no.)
