            TikTok may have been the first to do it, but now the genie is out of the bottle

          imho Chinese platforms censor their words too much. you might not have seen it, but the users self censor words like death, suicide, sex, and stuff like that.

            Annoyingly self reported chinease users I used to talk to would go dark after mention a certain square, tanks, and massacre. Since the push for misinformation instead of censorship its been less common but it also just seems like there are less people from China in my internet social circles now too. :/

          And yet I’m seeing more censorship on the internet due to draconian censorship rules on places like TikTok, despite not using it myself. Almost as if the point you’re making doesn’t mean anything to the conversation.

          And? I’m simply explaining that this video undoubtedly came from there. But even if it didn’t, this censorship of super mild words on the Internet never existed before TikTok so it’s clearly influenced by them, ie China

          Cool. Everyone else uses tiktok, so all the content even off tiktok gets made for it and so its rules affect all of us. Do you think you just fell off a coconut tree?

      China has to do with malware. However you want to define it. NSA has plugs everywhere, so does China.

      Censoring has to do with reach and realities of parasite media. Targeting young demo keeps platforms first growing then afloat(see kik still being around shoveling “teenager demo” while being a csm hell hole).

        Lol so full mask off now? Instead of heavily twisting the truth into lies, we’re now just flat out making them up out of nothing

            They’ve been harassing me since I called them out for repeatedly lying. They are now blocked. I prefer not to block people but this dick left me no choice. They messaged me like 12 times this morning and I think I only responded twice, to basically tell them to stop.

              There’s a lesson here for lurkers looking at this conversation :-) Block people all you want. You don’t need a good reason. There’s no Socratic Method Fairy who’s gonna get mad at you for refusing to engage with bad faith arguments, lying, or abuse. Just click on the username, the block button is near the top and pretty big.

              About to block a few accounts here myself.

                Preach!

                My block list is long enough it lags my browser when I try to scroll through it.
