They are interested in a platform other than X (filled with alt right, Q, megalomaniac Elon & his worshippers) or Meta who tracks everything you do ion the internet & sells that data, that nation states use to spread propaganda to influence our elections and general falsehoods, spread by a handful of people that as a result, turned family members into conspiracy fanatics & turned them to MAGA).
Cambridge Analytics partnered with Meta to target elections around the world, bragged of using the data to install into office whoever paid them the most.
Americans, found in TikTok a place where they could learn about history, hobbies, comedy, and information about things NEVER taught in schools & being able to use it as a search engine instead of google to find people talking about what they wanted to find.
The world is already filled with propaganda from the US government, at the behest of corporations.
It is all out in the open.
As for monitoring? We have been monitored heavily and all our data is in the hands of the NSA, GCHQ, the Chinese government, the 5 eyes & every social media platform. There must have been thousands of data breaches with ALL. Of your financial data, your credit history, and more.
All governments use propaganda and have done evil by their citizens in the interests of power,control & wealth.
We are monitored by our devices with our internet traffic collected and sold.
We are tracked by TransUnion, Experian et al.
Our license plates are scanned on the roads, at shopping center, malls.
Google will send police lists of whose phones were in what area based on geofencing.
NSA was copying ALL inter data center traffic between all google data centers.
Our banks file SARS reports on deposits & withdrawals.
- jhanschoo 2y agoYou have made many claims, but my understanding of this claim > Cambridge Analytics partnered with Meta to target elections around the world, is that there was no coordinated effort. Rather, FB's early APIs were extremely permissive, as were many other social media apps trying to be platforms with 3rd-party developers building apps on them. CA exploited this permissivity to obtain a whole lot of PII.
