Replacing one Chinese Spyware app with another. Lmao, it's just so funny to me.
Because an American Spyware app is much better?
Well, the American one doesn't have an incentive to turn its own people against its own government with propaganda. As is happening with Tiktok and pushing pro-CCP and anti-American content.
And even if the only concern was spying, it's like saying "well a creep on the street snapped a nude photo of me through my windows, so I may as well take my own nudes and pass it around the neighbourhood."
because no US social media has ever affected an election?
It’s actually worse because the American spyware apps give our data to the government to prosecute us for abortions etc.
That's always been my point. China can do less with my data than the UK or America.
Why not ban both if we are concerned about the harms of algorithmic content?
Both seem shit to me
You confused us by saying a race, like you're spreading excuses for anti-libre software.
'Replacing one spyware for another' is clear.
I said a what now?!
The fuck?
You remove my comment but leave the troll?
A race, like ethnicity, which reduced the clarity of your initial comment.
'Replacing one spyware for another' is more clear.
What does race have to do with anything?!
Exactly, the meaning is much more clear without it.
You know damn well they were referring to nationality rather than race.
Looks like you are trying to troll but the meaning is more clear without that too.
You completely changed your post.
Everyone here knows who the troll is, troll.
You're the one derailing by intentionally misinterpreting and being thick about it. Highly encourage you to take a step back, look at this exchange, and think about the point and effectiveness of it all. All I can say is reading it literally made me shake my head and sigh.
You are too obvious now. I will not be replying to you any further.
Don't know why the mods are removing your post. Or mine. But leaving the obvious.troll with all negative comments.
Wtf mods?
We removed rule breaking comments, we are not joining in the argument of who is trolling who.
Just don't feed the troll, it's fairly simple. Block and let them get their downvotes.
I will not reply back to you as poorly as you just did to me. Like I said, it could easily be worded more clearly.
