so two of the leading bidders for big stakes in TikTok are Marc Andreesen (an overt authoritarian Trump ass kisser) and Jeff Bezos, who is currently busy destroying the Washington Post to make it friendlier to far right ideology

but hey I guess at least China doesn't have access to your funny racoon video click data (which they can just buy anyway from data brokers because the U.S. is too corrupt to pass a privacy law)
Is it wrong to think well Bezos/Amazon seems like a fair weather fan to those in power so maybe that's best garbage option out of all of the other garbage? They don't seem to be censoring their products or media to be pro Trump right? Well yet at least. I don't use Tiktok, but it's not going away.
What has Bezos actually done bad to the post besides since blocking its endorsement (thus bringing way more attention to it?) Did I miss something? I read it every day and it doesn't seem much different, and certainly very clear documentation of the mayhem and lies coming out of Trump's whitehouse.
I know TikTok has helped so many small businesses and created opportunities for creators. The question is if it’s going to be worth it if the force some kind of political spin. Trad wives are going all day videos.
all the money right now is in telling angry young right men that all their shittiest and most lizard brained impulses are correct, which authoritarians use to recruit, so much more of that, basically
I knew tiktok was doomed when that stupid little asskissing "we're back thanks to trump" went out. I had it uninstalled a while before that and have never looked back
Pitchforks wont come out until, for one reason or another, it becomes impossible to ignore news because it doesn’t directly affect oneself, and bills are more or less paid. Once those two change, and people are forced to face reality, then pitchforks come. Sucks that that’ll be in like 2-3 years.
it's all going to bleed into one corporatist, engagement chasing, soulless mass, making better, smaller, well run platforms and communities like this one be more and more attractive
I placed one order in March to use up a gift card I had. That's it, I'm done. Costco not an option as closest one is 75 miles away. And yes, I know you can pay a surcharge if you don't have an account. However, all extra shopping is stopped until Trump is gone. Only repairs, food, and medicine.
Well, it’s healthy for a democracy when the three most obnoxious and biggest oligarchs own all three social media platforms. We may as well line up and get chips planted in our brains.
