Opindia citing Tucker Carlson, Stephen Crowder, and using "alleged" videos of non gender normative people as examples of bad content is pretty revolting.
I'll also say that Instagram is just as much trash as TikTok, but it's our trash instead of china's.
Infinite-scroll short form trash content is this generation's trash TV, yet more addictive.
- hammock 4y agoThe left-leaning head of the FBI made similar comments today: https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation-politics/fbi-director-raises-national-security-concerns-about-tiktok/ https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation-politics/fb... And you won’t believe me when I say this, but in US-China diplomatic terms, an official saying a technology “allows them…if they want to” to perform influence operations means they already are. As further corroboration, Andrew Schultz revealed earlier this week on the PBD podcast that sources at the State Dept confirmed these influencing operations were happening in the US via TikTok
- unethical_ban 4y agoOh, I have little doubt personally that TikTok is a malignant tumor, I just don't cite other tumors (Carlson and Crowder) for anything, even the sky being blue. I am quite critical of TikTok, of people who have it installed on their phones, and as someone who unfortunately has Instagram for certain reasons, I see the same mechanisms of hypertracking and attempts to push addictive mind-melting entertainment and softcore porn to people. I am unaware of legitimate critique's of Chris Wray as head of the FBI, but that's besides the point, I suppose. At least we have a comedian on a business writers' podcast to tell us about it.
