this is no different than what apple, google and microsoft tracks. unless we stop using everything, taking one of these companies out of the rotation is pointless, there will be more.we should go back to low tech phones. delete all social media.

Or enforcing agencies could be even more diligent about what can and cannot be tracked and enforce laws. It's like you're saying we should all ride bicycles because the highways are filled with people going whatever speed they choose. When putting up speed limit signs and enforcing them fixes a lot of the problems.
Tik-Tok bad

The system will always be beholden to SOME monetary aggregate.It's like starting ANOTHER police station, eventually, it'll be full of racists and kkk.
should get some information about us
I do think the platform and format is nothing but damaging to brains and society.
But the platform has proven it can basically do no wrong, even with people knowing how bad it is they still use it daily.
I don't understand peoples' obsession with social media, but there is no doubt that "China" wants to vacuum up all the information in the world.
i think it's one of the most potent social media/entertainment apps out there at the moment.
These apps are levers for further capitalist rot. So we already agree, it's not there to entertain you, it's there to Sell-You-Stuff. The funny cat videos they insert in between advertisement is just to manipulate a person's emotional state, to compel spending. So we see that it's selling the user's data/ attention, the ads themselves sell planet destroying junk that you'd get bored of after 30 minutes, and reach for the app to brainwash you into buying Yet-More-Stuff. Social media applications under capitalism, greatly accelerates the death of our planet.Show Image
Isn't that literally everything in society like this. Like it's all made for you to buy something, not even something as essential as a house is free, you need to buy one.
