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.
Thinking this way is how you get "and that's everybody's problem" kermit
TikTok has literally nothing to do with informing tho... it's literally the opposite.
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

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.
All news agencies in my country have a tik tok account and regularly use it to publish exactly the same news as they do on their newspapers or on TV. I don't see how watching that news on tik tok is any different that turning on the TV and watching it there.

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.

By "censorship", they meant not being able to scream the N-word at black people.
Nah. You can still do that on X (formally Twitter)
And very soon facebook as well...
You can already say other anti-black slurs on Facebook.

Welcome to America, where you are free to fuck off and die. Here's your bill.
Tick tock was a bioweapon.
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.

Bad take. We're in the modern world of information warfare: expecting every citizen to be immune to psychological trickery from a nation spending tens of billions to research and test ways to trick them is unrealistic and unreasonable. There's people with PhDs in human psychology spending their entire time and untold amounts of compute power trying to stoke the flames of division and push misinformation and you think we should allow it?
This is such peak western projection holy shit
