i don't like TikTok but i can't think of anything that would radicalize basically all of Gen Z against the ruling class in the country more than banning it. it's like if the US banned rock music entirely in the mid 20th century.

i know it's just a platform, a platform with a lot of serious issues. but you can't just remove something so central as a pillar of a lot of people's existence and not expect there to be all kinds of weird blowback. it honestly probably serves elite interests more for it to not be banned
"we were too gay and pro-palestine on here - oh well, guess that's over now! time for me to now listen to all the authority figures in my life and operate as an ideal model citizen of heteropatriarchy" - i'm sure all the kids will totally be saying that now.
i don't want to be accelerationist about this or Meta's changes but like... most people really don't like tech guys and people in power right now and i don't think that's going to change? i don't think saying "hey, go beat up on those trannies" is going to work on people it isn't already working on?
