    Yeah, definitely a boomer in vibes if not in age. Sorry. Everything you said is basically wrong. You’re just repeating what others have said without putting a single bit of effort into confirming anything but your own bias.

    Ethical reasons lmao. You all just laughed while our government illegally targeted one company with legislation to get rid of competition for big corporations like meta/google. Don’t pretend to be doing any of this for any kind of moral high ground when you can’t even be bothered to look into something before arguing for it. You’re just useful tools happily guzzling their bs excuse of it being for our security because that’s what you want to believe.

      I don’t get your point. I’m against tech monopolies and I hate Google. I want Facebook to be split up and think that the current tech companies are way to powerful, see this video by Last Week Tonight. I use duckduckgo and try to avoid google services.

      Don’t pretend to be doing any of this for any kind of moral high ground when you can’t even be bothered to look into something before arguing for it.

      Lmao. How would you get the thought I wouldn’t have “looked into this”. That sounds like antivax level of arguments.

      Everything you said is basically wrong.

      And this gives me the feeling I’m much better informed than you tbh.
      Because no, what I wrote is factually correct, read for example this, this or this or just so many more articles, outlining detailed how TikTok censors content made by minorities, talking about the Uighur camps or so much more.

      I feel like you can’t grasp the thought that someone knows how bad many tech companies are and still can see that content behind TikTok is at least as terrible. And what I’m writing isn’t any more boomer-like than what you write, you even use the same talking points but are just ignoring any of TikTok’s flaws.
