Anti-<topic> Billionaires Have Always Been Able to Control What People in General See.

[–] yeather@lemmy.ca 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The difference now is Chinese Billionaires were Anti and the new American Billionaires are Anti

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Which chinese billionaires are anti israel?

The Chinese state is souring against Israel, likely the operators of the app were also against Israel considering how they allowed anti-zionist content on the platform.

The ones that used to own tik tok

They already did.

A few years ago, Osama Bin Laden's open letter to the American people was being shared and people had their posts deleted.

It was being shared because the first reason he lists for attacking on 9/11 was America's support for Israel.

He won. Every person employed by the TSA and every shoe removed is a posthumous W for crippling America

Ditch TrumpTok

[–] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 29 points 3 weeks ago

Oh no! Genocidal maniacs have taken control over TikTok… again!

[–] Microtonal_Banana@lemmy.zip 20 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Isn't that the case with all major social media platforms?

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Aside from the fediverse one would hope

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

sigh one would, wouldn't they?

[–] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Back in the day this just meant that people would mobilize and flood the platform with pro Palestinian content just to troll.

[–] demonsword@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

nobody would know if it's all supressed

[–] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

That's why quantity is important online. They can't suppress it all.

It just surprises me that people put more effort trying to get AI to quote Hitler than they do trying to fight for something like this.

Why is there this asymmetry of effort between the political factions.

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

This is also why governments are pushing so hard for "AI." AI won't be used to improve the quality of our lives. It will be used for advertising, propaganda, surveillance and control. Only AI is fast enough to run all the bots and generate the blizzard of BS fast enough to counter the opinions of millions of people online.

[–] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

What about in the opposite direction. Isn't AI a tool that can be used to create, analyze and research. Which is why I think it's pushed very hard for the left to alienate themselves from it. It gives anyone who embraced it a big advantage.

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

Remember when we were worried that TikTok was going to be used by the CCP to spread Chinese government propaganda?

Good news! It's STILL going to be used to spread propaganda, it just belongs to another group of billionaire dingbats, now.

[–] TheObviousSolution@lemmy.ca 13 points 3 weeks ago

Seems like that was always the end goal. Imperialist global power built on colonialism continues to push forward neocolonialism, more at 11.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

dont you mean pro-zionist/ possibly antisemtic billionaires. antisemitism gives legitmacy to BIBIs regime.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

I call them pro settler colonialism and pro genocide in Gaza

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Can we just all riot now? I just need a riot buddy?

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 6 points 3 weeks ago

I'm encouraging everyone I know who still uses TikTok to leave it. Ditto for CBS / Paramount+

[–] webkitten@piefed.social 2 points 3 weeks ago

But not what Loop users can see.
