    Weapons for Ukraine, weapons for Israel, ban tiktok, but literally let everyone domestically die of poverty, don’t talk about abortion, and yell about people killing trans people and black people while increasing transfer of military weapons to police and increasing drilling for oil.

    And my lib friends still think there’s a reason to hope that the Ds will make things better

    It’s the only social media I use because the algorithm is so precise, it’s intensely trained on cat videos and possum videos. It doesn’t serve me anything else at this point, it’s a thing of beauty

    Fuck you Joe, I want cat and possum videos thurston possum-mama

      The algo is kinda insane cos it calibrates so fast and knows what i want at that point in time like it can read my fucking mind. Youtube either shows me videos that are already in my sub feed, videos I’ve already watched or fascist content

        What it doesn’t serve is right-wing garbage when you feed it literally anything, unlike YouTube and Twitter

          TikTok, this site, tumblr and a few reddit-logo subreddits are my only social media for this very reason.

          I can’t go two seconds anywhere else without getting a video saying that people like deserve to die just because it would be funny if we died. At least on these sites that number is slightly less.

          Nazis have the entire world as one big circlejerk for their ideas. All I want is one small circlejerk for my unpopular but correct ideas.

    In North Korea the media must serve the interests of the ruling class.
    If it doesn’t it gets shut down under false pretenses.

    they don’t have a problem with tik tok. the concern is the chinese ownership of tik tok. all that bad privacy stuff is no issue as long as the owners are “friends”.

    It’s still pending legal challenge ofc, but from everything I’ve read they’re only going to ban it from appearing on app stores, which should mean that anyone not on an Apple device can still install the app, and anyone with any device should still be able to access the website.

    So I’m expecting TikTok to continue to be very popular with Americans even after they’re no longer “officially” supported.

    I think this will be overturned in the courts, but who knows what SCOTUS will decide.

      the funniest outcome will be SCOTUS overruling it, then upholding it when Trump bans it by executive order again

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
