We ban tiktok because it's stealing our data apparently and spying on us. But this is fine. Fuck off.

Instagram is now randomly showing users AI-generated images of themselves

every time I delete a social media app for being run by a bigoted pos, I’m immediately vindicated by seeing the most horrifying dystopian concepts I’ve ever heard of become a reality on there

To be fair the argument for the TikTok ban was that Chinese companies are legally required to give up all information they gather to the Chinese government apparently, I don't think most of the government (or most governments out there for that matter) care much about user privacy otherwise

Doesn't make it any better by any means but I feel like it's important to understand why

albarnsdemon.bsky.social•55 days ago

We give all our shit to facebook. Who cares lmao.

tiktok is bad bc china while instagram is le epic based bc its murica obviously, that's why insta is allowed to harvest data! nothing wrong with that !!

galacticamorphos.bsky.social•55 days ago

No, we banned TikTok because it was owned by a Chinese company, while Instagram isn’t

Come on man, if you’re gonna be upset, get your facts right at least smh

The president elect is owned by a Russian but here we are... the very same president that hid stolen documents from the white house at his resort.. . That's not a national security risk?

galacticamorphos.bsky.social•55 days ago

According to the government it’s not, at least that’s what I’ve seen so far, for all I know I could be wrong 🤷‍♂️

Fucking hate this country. I know. Such an original take for me to have. But it's all I can say anymore 😭

galacticamorphos.bsky.social•55 days ago

Don’t worry man, give it a couple more years and eventually it’ll implode on itself and be reset

At least that’s my hope because that’s what humanity, or at the very least this country, deserves at any rate

albarnsdemon.bsky.social•55 days ago

Honestly atp. I am hoping something just gives and we have a huge shake up. Idk why it hasn't happened.

galacticamorphos.bsky.social•55 days ago

It hasn’t happened because there hasn’t been a reason to, despite the government being complete dogshit the US hasn’t had a reason to reform or change anything, besides bad leaders the country (for the most part at least) is sitting well enough to where no one wants anything to change

galacticamorphos.bsky.social•55 days ago

Also before you say it let me be clear here

Yes the economy is dogshit, yes the officials running this country all, or most at least, suck ass, and yes this country as a whole is doomed

But the major parts of it? Hey, they’re fine, and so long as that stays that way nothing else really matters 🤷‍♂️
