To increase distrust of the US Government, especially when it comes to warmongering. Great alpha for the country sitting at the top of many DOD lists.

- rightbyte 3y agoThat sounds like a cherible cause? I think TikToks initial succes was mainly due to a "fair" feed with no algorithmic nudging. Facebook used to be like that but somewhere around 2012 to 13 posts or articles could not go viral anymore, in the organic avalanche way it would earlier. Facebook wanted you to pay up for the reach I guess. If TikTok nudge people they will lose their edge.
- dogman144 3y agoThey’ve been nudging since 2019 at least and built an edge vs lost it. There is a lot of politics around the TK bans but one true aspect is the Natsec angle. It’s as if FB’s newsfeed was optimized for patriotism, vs ads. But bc TK pays well and Has a office in SV… blind eye. Blows my mind that westerners work there. There’s bad jingoism and then there’s considering your role in a global power struggle directly based on technology and these companies.
- basil-rash 3y agoIt’s a perfectly fine cause, entirely in line with what I’d expect from them. Just as nudging their own youth into practicing guerrilla warfare techniques while nudging ours into questioning their gender is in line with what I’d expect from them. To claim they don’t nudge is laughable.
