    This is true for any social platform. They’re all advertisement platforms. Where is the line between censorship and moderation? The solution here isn’t to draw arbitrary lines in the sand of free speech, it’s to promote data transparency laws. Let everyone know what data is kept and how it’s used and let them decide where to go and how to put pressure on the platforms they care about for change.

      Look, Tiktok has the backing of a corporation worth $225 billion. Not my problem.

      I’ve donated to the EFF. Why don’t we talk more about them? The two main people complaining about the Tiktok ban are “Influences” and dopamine addicts.

        Hi, I don’t use TikTok, I don’t really give a shit about that particular platform. I do, however, give a shit about the fact that this one platform is being targeted with some “think of the children” rhetoric while American companies get away with the same things (manipulation regarding current events, political propaganda, appeasing the almighty advertisers) without anyone batting an eye.
