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!

TBH it’s not dumb to attack bikes when their empire depends on murdering people for petrol.

It’s almost like the USA…

Too this was posted by a fascist.

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.

Storm troopers murder these kinds of people rather than expose the injustice system.

Different days, different clothes, different person.

If they’re on a different day then it’s even less believable.

This CEO has murdered and would have continued to murder far far more people.

The “basic rules of society” is that this was ok.

My righteous brainwashed side wants him to face an appropriate sentence put in a cage

FTFY.

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.

Reasonable, sustainable infrastructure stands no chance against the petrol-dollar.

Pale skinned boomers to be exact.

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.
