        Made in china, under complete control of ccp as every big company in china is. It is very unfortunate that younger generation is essentially being raised by tiktok and its algorithm.

        Facebook is bad, no doubts about that, it’s also unavoidable as the only social media for most people, and it’s also not fun for most people. Tiktok on the other hand is interesting, it’s captivating, the algorithm tailors it to you, microdoses you with dopamine. I’m sure that same algorithm can be, if desired, used to push pro-china/pro-russia/anti-west narratives to varying degrees of subtlety, tailor-made to each user, to further destabilize certain countries, united states included.

        Social media is dangerous, social media controlled by a potential enemy is dangerous on a whole another level.

            Big difference between “The US isn’t actually the greatest country in the world” (whatever the fuck “greatest” means, they’re never too clear about that) and “Uighyurs are dangerous dissident terrorists who need to be re-educated. Any organ donations are purely voluntary.”

            But then again, I am talking to a CCP shill from lemmygrad. Pretty much pissing into an ocean of piss here.

              Do you have a source to back your claims up?

              Make no mistake, there have been some allegations in the UN report, that if true, I would want China to do better. But I don’t remember reading about organ harvesting in there.

              Who do you trust to make reputable claims that aren’t motivated by political reasons on this?

      I actually dig it a bit. They’re not really censoring themselves, they’re still talking about corn and seggs just in a way the app doesn’t yet recognize. Take that advertisers!

        Yeah, they’re literally bypassing being censored. They’re continuing to talk about the shit that the company doesn’t want them to. It’s the opposite of what people are bitching about.

    My wife was telling me about how annoying it is that she’ll try listening to new true crime podcasts and they’ll shit like “unalived” instead of “killed”. Comes across hella disrespectful to the victims.

      To be fair, it’s pretty bleak to use someone’s grisly murder as a means of entertainment. Our society is weird

        If I was murdered and the case went cold for a long time, you bet I’d want everyone hearing about it after the case finally gets solved. But that’s just me.
