So TikTok bad 'cos it allows criticism of the US... and Facebook, Youtube et al good? Seriously?
No, but any bias in what content gets boosted is bad for public discourse. Too many people think Tiktok is fine, but it being so heavily influenced by an authoritarian dictatorship makes it a bad platform. We need platforms that aren’t controlled by these opaque powers. I wasn’t saying Facebook or the like was the answer at all if you read my post.
All of these platforms are controlled by opaque powers, be it shady board rooms or political cabinets, and all of them entice engagement in any way necessary at any cost. But one isn't American.
The whole point of their algorithms is boosting specific content, but some specific content doesn't appease some Americans, and a lot of people think facebook et al are just fine.
I dislike all of those platforms.
This platform is not controlled by opaque powers. Decentralized social media is the best solution to this problem currently available.
Absolutely.
