- Comment on Sign the petition calling on PM Keir Starmer to be bold when dealing with Donald Trump 1 week ago:
The petition alone won’t change much, but it could be one step in the right direction when we are willing to keep going a long way. That sounds pathetic, and maybe it fails, but being indifferent and doing nothing is certainly not an option as we know. As Biden said in his recent speech, “Setbacks are inevitable, giving up is unforgivable.”

Why are so many people still using this platform?
Just stumbled upon a 9-min video (Invidious link) about Twitter’s brief history after Elon Musk’s takeover. Maybe interesting.

Yeah, that’s not new, but I feel there are still many who are unaware, although I don’t understand why.

I guess many from the .ml communities have alt accounts here and just parrot the propaganda. But it’s certainly true that it’s much better at Beehaw than there.

The agreement was signed by the UK and China (in 1947 if I’m not mistaken). As @hddsx already said, it is China that doesn’t hold up to the deal.
That aside, there is no reason to violate the universal human, no matter what the agreement says.

- Comment on TikTok executives know about the harms the app poses for teenagers, lawsuit documents allege 5 weeks ago:
There’s no conclusive evidence that “social media” is bad for kids, much less TikTok specifically or only.
This is blatant misinformation and inconsistent with scientific evidence.
Even Tiktok’s own investigation says there’s strong harm caused by its own platform, let alone the strong body of research on Tiktok and other platforms. Just read tbe article.

Nowhere did I say China was good. That is just a bad faith take. I was hoping you were actually trying to learn. Don’t bother responding, you are blocked.
It is a ‘bad faith take’ if one thinks that ‘China is good’? Is that right?

TikTok’s ‘blackout’ challenge linked to deaths of 20 children in 18 months, report says - (December 2022)
TikTok faces lawsuit over ‘blackout challenge’ death of 10-year-old girl – (August 2024)
Blackout challenge – (Wikipedia)
The blackout challenge is an internet challenge based around the choking game, which deprives the brain of oxygen.[1] It gained widespread attention on TikTok in 2021, primarily among children.[2] It has been compared to other online challenges and hoaxes that have exclusively targeted a young audience.[3] It has been linked to the deaths of at least twenty children.
There is much more on that across the web.

So banning social media platforms for censorship is okay, but if you do the same for protecting children’s mental health it is not? Isn’t that weird?

Why is TikTok banned in China, my friend?
- Comment on More than a dozen states in the US have sued TikTok, accusing the social media platform of helping to drive a mental health crisis among teenagers 5 weeks ago:
And why is TikTok (and all other non-Chinese social media) banned in China then? Non-Western.narraties? Palestine? Other reasons?
- Comment on More than a dozen states in the US have sued TikTok, accusing the social media platform of helping to drive a mental health crisis among teenagers 5 weeks ago:
Is this the reason then why TikTok is already banned in China, TikTok’s parent company’s home country? Because media there is lying?
- Comment on More than a dozen states in the US have sued TikTok, accusing the social media platform of helping to drive a mental health crisis among teenagers 5 weeks ago:
banning media that shows a non western narrative.
Which media show a non-Western narrative? TikTok? Facebook? Instagram?
