The pop up signaled that they are willing to emotionally manipulate millions of teens and young adults into doing what they want. Completely dumbfounding strategy here by TikTok.
- deadbolt 3y agoThat's an absolutely absurd definition of "emotional manipulation"
- BadHumans 3y agoDo you feel the same way when sites like Wikipedia use pop ups to talk about privacy legislation?
- remarkEon 3y agoCongress isn't considering a ban on Wikipedia because it's mission isn't emotional manipulation for profit. So, no.
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 3y agoTotally different situation. If Wikipedia somehow ended up with so much emotional influence that members of congress were getting 1000+ calls a day then maybe. Wikipedia ain't backed by the Chinese government though.
- BadHumans 3y agoI don't see it as a different thing. Both companies use their platforms to talk about legislation they feel is negative in one way or another. Wikipedia managing to get thousands of people to call congress over a bill that would ban encryption would be hailed as a miracle of democracy here.
