Another reason not to work at Tik Tok is that they are simply not to be trusted with their size and influence. They are very aggressive with their censorship. It’s surprising given that they are based in China, but I’ve seen them ban content that goes against American progressive views more aggressively than even Twitter or Reddit or Facebook. For moderates and conservatives, it means this giant network amplifies everyone else and suppresses them. In other markets they implement different policies that are similarly aggressive but with different biases. Their practices are unacceptable and tech workers shouldn’t help bolster such anti-free-speech organizations.
- erect_penis 5y agoThe prevailing sentiment around here is work for any company as long as the pay is good? Also no private company allows unrestricted speech including this place we're on now. "Anti-free speech companies" is kind of a straw man.
