TikTok is now Big Brother

Tiktok is now "big brother"? They're owned by the CCP, they've always been "big brother". What the fuck? lmao

Nobody is forcing you to use that piece of shit platform, and you shouldn't be using it in the first place.

Anyone getting a lot of christian contents lately?
Since new years eve i've been watching one after one videos with christian topics
Not that these videos is bad

Christian content is not on Tiktok.

False christian content is. The same applies to all youtube videos.

I'd sooner find Miyamoto complimenting Sony and Microsoft.

Using the word Epstein in a chat will also get the chat reported and unsent.

I thought this was a joke, but it turns out to be real. Any mention of the name "Epstein" gets either an error or banned.

Good to hear calling a spade a spade. The goal is painfully clear. We're seeing how anything can be abused.

Yes. My point is that I never understood why people complain about not wanting companies to spy on them knowing what they do in their daily lives, like the supposed "Big Brother" from the book. Yet, they'll take a photo of themselves at the places they've been to, whether that is a restaurant, hotel room, or their time on holiday in another country. At the end of the day, every one of us is Big Brother. If the FBI and CIA are all government-funded entities meant to spy on civilians, why do it when considering that most of it is done for free? And where that lines up is social media will do it, because no one is self-aware or even asked to care to collect personal data.

TikTok was run by a Chinese company; it was Big Brother from the start. It was always pushing whatever value the CCP wanted people to follow. It was always censoring people from talking about issues the CCP didn't want people talking about. It was always spying on users. It was always terrible for LGBT+ people. It was always bad. The fact that it's changed ownership to another terrible person changes nothing about the fact that it was always awful.

Yeah. That, or there was nothing wrong with tiktok before, and the earlier complaints just amounted to "WE want to able to censor our citizens"
