MODERATORS
They can sue a company doing the corporate media thing very successfully, because it doesn't directly fund them....but they can't hold gun manufacturers, oil and gas companies, etc. accountable for actual harmful effects.
Is social media good? Hell no. But it isn't illegal. These kids can literally work in factories again, be married off to pedos, and these people are faking outrage to distract from all of that.
I mean I have issues with TikTok but parents could also just like not let their kids use it. Parental controls are a thing. I don't understand why people get so upset at social media companies for trying to get everyone they possibly can to use their apps as much as they can since it's how they make their money lol. They're corporations, not charities - don't expect them to do the right thing.
i don't understand why people get upset at nestle for taking and reselling water
it's how they make their money lol
they're a corporation not a charity
I hate my state.
Why do they hate freedom so much?
