What’s this supposed to mean? You’re tripping on several fronts.
Not only am I a person of color and I also heavily criticize Meta/Amazon/Google and their egregious apps, but news just came out a couple of days ago that the Chinese government sponsored literal malware and attacked civil rights activists with it from inside the US. Yes, it’s obviously different than social media, but what do you think they’re doing with unlimited access to a popular app that everybody and their grandma has on their phones collecting all that data about people’s viewing habits and manipulating feeds?
And yes, I’m aware it’s technically spyware but my comment was hyperbole saying Americans would knowingly install malware if they could. They’re one step away from it pretending it’s activism.
.ml people are downvoting you for disrespecting the Chinese government, but people would easily install the Facebook or instagram or WhatsApp app if it had malware and had private api access even to microphone and camera data and sold all of that to advertisers to advertise on Facebook or instagram or TikTok or X. Unfortunately that’s just not happening, so everyone is in the clear. Your data by any capitalist profiteering corporation in any country is safe, but Chinese ones are super safe.

Never seen a double down while pretending to sidestep quite like that

I don’t get it.
Scary words get used to describe normal things when colored skinned people do it.
ok, but are the Chinese colored skin?
that’s what I’m confused about.
They are derogatory called yellow as not to be considered white.
so it’s a racist joke?
The joke is about racism. What constitutes malware or socialmedia is dependent on the skin color of the developers.
Fortunately, that’s not what I’m saying, especially as a POC. But thanks for explaining anyway!
As a black man, let me tell you about the evil Chinese…
