TikTok ban upheld by Supremes.

I'm pretty sure this Tik Tok ban is the result of U.S. Evil Rich tech bros working so hard to lobby against Tik Tok, under the assumption a Tik Tok ban will be a windfall migration to their own products, like Meta and X.
But, so far, it seems like Tik Tok users are instead migrating toward Red Note, which is perhaps an even more Chinese app than Tik Tok.
It's a rock and a hard place, especially considering what's become of Twitter, and what's becoming of Meta, in light of Zuck's announcement to effectively move even further rightward himself.

Re: Evil Rich People
but some of the exchanges on Red Note so far are actually pretty funny
Re: Evil Rich People
I, for one, am very glad we're doing this.

Re: Evil Rich People
the sad irony is that tiktok is being banned because of china
all other social medias, despite their known harms, continue unabated
priorities…
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?
Re: Evil Rich People
yea.
I maintain the more appropriate action for lawmakers to take, would be not to ban one particular social media platform specifically, but would be to enact consumer protections across platforms.
why not make it prohibited for ALL social media to harvest our data behind our backs?

Wonderful news. One less way for China to data mine and psychologically cripple the population.

You should probably refresh your timeline, then.
