Heh,
"We're a 2-year-old company operating with the expectations of a 10-year-old company," said Michael Beckerman, TikTok's vice president in charge of U.S. public policy. "We didn't have the opportunity to grow up in the golden years of the internet, when tech companies could do no wrong. We grew up in the techlash age ,where there's a lot of skepticism of platforms, how they moderate content and how their algorithms work.""
Well, yes, Compete or die. It's the same as a tobacco company start up.
Oh, wait, that's Juul.
What happened to them?
- prionassembly 6y agoI think there's a part in your comment that you thought but somehow neglected to type out. It reads to me like two completely disconnected parts.
- rootsudo 6y agoI meant by copy/pasting that quote that TikTok's excuse of "we're just 2yrs old" is not applicable because the Tech world is entering an era of regulation, which put TikTok on the front page of whom to target first, same as any other business that enters the marketplace. Using Juul as a reference to the regulation that they have to abide by (now) and how they innovated to become known/verb. Though, you can very much argue that Juul is both Tech & Tobacco. But, imagine the same statement from Juul.
