The most terrifying thing is there will be a trump-government representative in the governing body. We are truly looking at 1984 as a blueprint not a warning.

- OKRainbowKid 1y agoThat doesn't diminish the impact it has on the rest of humanity, and by proxy, on me.
- andsoitis 1y agoWouldn't it be better if fewer people used TikTok, given negative impact of social media on individuals and society? Wouldn't it be better if these investors lose money on this investment?
- mrbombastic 1y agoYes but how likely do you think it is that that will happen?
- A4ET8a8uTh0_v2 1y agoDepends. Better as a word is a little too wide to interpret accurately without some additional information to go on. For example, if you look at my post history, you will know that I am not too keen on social media in general. From that perspective, it could be interpreted as a win. And yet, I think most of us here recognize the development as a whole is not 'good' ( since we are going with generic, not-easily-defined verbiage ).
- cookiengineer 1y agoThe problem with that rhetoric is that at some point you need social media to prove legitimacy of your identity. It already happens at border controls and TSA checks. Guess when that "you can just not use TikTok" argument will expand to "you can just not use the internet" and effectively be punished monetarily or socially for not wanting to use it.
