Tik Tok wasn't built to be used as a weapon though.
- pixelatedindex 9mo agoWeapons can come in all forms and sizes. When wielded with the blend of censorship and propaganda, (social) media is absolutely a weapon. Is there a reason why it won’t be?
- buellerbueller 9mo agoAre you sure about that?
- ActorNightly 9mo agoYeah. I don't subscribe to the hypocritical vies that people are expected to have "free will" and "freedom", while also being "influenced by the algorithm". Its either one or the other. Personally I think its the former, and Tik Tok is just confirming to people what they want to hear.
- iugtmkbdfil834 9mo ago<< Its either one or the other. Why would that be a given? If we remove tiktok and replace it with anything else, that replaced influence does not automatically negate my will? Case in point, when I call my mother to talk a new car purchase, does her disliking my choice automatically mean I either influenced and therefore have no will? I am not certain you considered edge cases here.
