I didn't open the video. Was it one of those videos that talk in circles about what they're "going" to talk about in the video, then they keep saying it in different ways?

You could try a shield instead. It doesn't push ads that way.
Games with their friends.
That sucks, but got my kids some cheap quest 2 sets and they're loving them. I even use them from time to time, and can't beat that price.
I'm fine with meta losing billions for my kids to have a decent experience.
Roku is a terrible product. It's cheap, and they have full control over every part of it and aren't afraid to exploit it to users' detriment. Like the recent user agreement changes that bricked TVs until you agreed.
Again, it's not about data being collected. It is about the algorithm that let's them control what users see in their feeds.
Lemmy users are just going to believe whatever they want to believe, instead of actually checking the facts.
It's 100% about privacy. Data collection, and algorithm manipulation to sway what users see in the interest of the Chinese government. If users think Russian interference is a problem, we'll this amounts to the same thing.
That's why they pay us the medium bucks!
Hot take approved
They do, and I'd love to see these laws expanded to include a ban against all algorithm manipulation. Manipulation coming from external sources is much more dangerous, even if local source manipulation is also dangerous.
This has nothing to do with free speech. And yes, 90% of the people out there, including kids, log into tiktok and get a hone page for whatever content China wants to sling, of that's to turn group A more right and group B more left, or to push their own agendas. People just don't look at thongs objectively and tend to follow what they see. This is a security risk for the entire country.
It's not stifling free speech, and blocking content for the sake of blocking content that they're talking about here. Is it moral to block influence like that? Yes.
It's not illegal to protest.
