Your yuans are in the post comrade
Poor use of this meme template. The last sentence is not even a question!
I find it funny when people get upset that a meme template gets used in a novel way. These aren’t religious texts that are immutable, memes evolve over time.
By “censorship”, they meant not being able to scream the N-word at black people.
I’d like tiktok to fully disappear but not for the reasons governments want it to. I just miss YouTube haikus and memes without music always playing.
the tiktok ban is making them all flood youtube… it’s going to get worse
TikTok has literally nothing to do with informing tho… it’s literally the opposite.
It’s literally the main reason people found out there was a genocide happening in Gaza.
You just need to train your algorithm, my tik tok always show a lot of interesting educational stuff. I can’t remember the last time I saw any kind of soft porn there, my Instagram on the other hand is always shoving big and hard gym booties on my face.
Then you haven’t used it. The Reddit stream of 100% hate towards TikTok without understanding it is a very bad take. It provided a ton of momentum in recent US social movements.
Ya it’s literally the easiest way to get a quick video on something you wanna learn. Not to mention (unlike other platforms) you get a friendly face that teaches it to you

Right! I don’t get the hate
Not a fan of TikTok, but they did this because they weren’t towing the line on the master race’s genocide as an example to others who would dare defy the racial hierarchy of the West. That seems DEEPLY problematic on EVERY level.

Not really. There are plenty of social media apps and services that aren’t toeing the line. TikTok is being targeted because of their relatioship with China.
Mitt Romney explicitly admitted that the ban was due to TikTok not toeing the line on Palestine.
yes, trustworthy mitt
Lol, you’re suggesting he was lying about that? Antony Blinken was right next to him nodding along, is he also in on this lie?
Singapore
This is actually a good point. Last time I said something good about China I was attacked on lemmy for it being censored. As if that doesn’t happen here
There is no contradiction here, because the communists, with their customary candor, acknowledge the necessity of stifling speech they deem to be harmful. It is the liberals, those self-appointed guardians of unfettered discourse, who are engaging in hypocrisy. They wax lyrical about the sanctity of free expression, only to abandon their lofty principles the moment their narrative falters.
