Remember when we were worried that TikTok was going to be used by the CCP to spread Chinese government propaganda?
Good news! It’s STILL going to be used to spread propaganda, it just belongs to another group of billionaire dingbats, now.
I’m encouraging everyone I know who still uses TikTok to leave it. Ditto for CBS / Paramount+
Back in the day this just meant that people would mobilize and flood the platform with pro Palestinian content just to troll.
nobody would know if it’s all supressed
That’s why quantity is important online. They can’t suppress it all.
It just surprises me that people put more effort trying to get AI to quote Hitler than they do trying to fight for something like this.
Why is there this asymmetry of effort between the political factions.
This is also why governments are pushing so hard for “AI.” AI won’t be used to improve the quality of our lives. It will be used for advertising, propaganda, surveillance and control. Only AI is fast enough to run all the bots and generate the blizzard of BS fast enough to counter the opinions of millions of people online.
What about in the opposite direction. Isn’t AI a tool that can be used to create, analyze and research. Which is why I think it’s pushed very hard for the left to alienate themselves from it. It gives anyone who embraced it a big advantage.
Can we just all riot now? I just need a riot buddy?
They already did.
A few years ago, Osama Bin Laden’s open letter to the American people was being shared and people had their posts deleted.
It was being shared because the first reason he lists for attacking on 9/11 was America’s support for Israel.
He won. Every person employed by the TSA and every shoe removed is a posthumous W for crippling America
Oh no! Genocidal maniacs have taken control over TikTok… again!
Isn’t that the case with all major social media platforms?
Aside from the fediverse one would hope
sigh one would, wouldn’t they?
Anti-<topic> Billionaires Have Always Been Able to Control What People in General See.
The difference now is Chinese Billionaires were Anti <Israel> and the new American Billionaires are Anti <Palestine>
Which chinese billionaires are anti israel?

The Chinese state is souring against Israel, likely the operators of the app were also against Israel considering how they allowed anti-zionist content on the platform.
From the river to the sea.
free palestine from hamas
Free the fediverse from zionist pro genocide and settler colonialism people like you.
oh look, censorship, an authoritarian classic. not sure if you’re like that because stalinist, islamist or both, though.
Israel love islamist and authoritarian countries like saudi arabia and stalinist like Putin.
Putin is a true friend of Israel - Ariel Sharon in 2001
Israel is, in fact, a special state to us. It is practically a Russian-speaking country. Israel is one of the few foreign countries that can be called Russian-speaking. It’s apparent that more than half of the population speaks - Putin in 2010
In August, Russia began increasing fruit imports from Israel, after banning food imports from the EU, Norway, United States, Canada and Australia
In Ocobre 2015 , Israel and Russia held meetings to coordinate over Syria, and avoid accidentally clashing or scrambling each other’s communications while operating over the country.
In March 2016, Putin said the relations with Israel were special and based “on friendship, mutual understanding and the long common history Russia and Israel have developed a special relationship. 1.5 million Israeli citizens come from the former Soviet Union, they speak the Russian language, are the bearers of Russian culture, Russian mentality. They maintain relations with their relatives and friends in Russia, and this make the interstate relations very special”
You really love israel an extremist jewish state that don’t represent jews and even killed jews before
and stalinist like Putin
lolwut?
There isn’t a iota of marxism in Russia’s Putin. It may be authoritarian, but Russia ain’t stalinist, unless you’re using the term as some slang for authoritarian.
American unironically screaming “You voted for this!” at a children’s mass grave.
nice propaganda, very picturesque.
Israel will be free
Free to massacre children?
Why not both?
Ditch TrumpTok
Seems like that was always the end goal. Imperialist global power built on colonialism continues to push forward neocolonialism, more at 11.
dont you mean pro-zionist/ possibly antisemtic billionaires. antisemitism gives legitmacy to BIBIs regime.
I call them pro settler colonialism and pro genocide in Gaza
RedNote is a good alternative.
is rednote an actual alternative for non-chinese?
No, it’s not even like Tiktok at all. The vast majority of the content is in Mandarin and if you aren’t Chinese your not going to know the asinine culture rules and get banned for something you thought was silly, but they take very seriously.
for non-chinese
or for Chinese that don’t want to be censored?
Most platforms have some kind of moderation. But I’m sure a Chinese platform will be quite selective about a particular set of topics and themes.
So the solution to algorithm being dictated by billionaires or governments with little to no transparency is to move to another one?
Maybe its better to stay by the sidelines instead of constantly rushing to join the next new social media. Perhaps its better to view them more from a position of an observer than a participant when it comes to the meta, tiktok, twitter type social media run by big centralized money or governments backing them.
Westerners would rather drown in capitalist propaganda than listen to anything a diabolical Chinese national might have to say.
What’s the fediverse alternative?
@youare_acooldude @Mrkawfee Loops
Ahh, thanks!
Loops?
Great, another app that nobody will use. Sadly users prefer convenience and popularity over things like decentralization or software freedom.
