People should stop using these ad and tracking apps disguised as some useful app.
TT is not a useful application, it’s a mental sickness virus. It leads to hate and self harm.
To be more honest:
Tiktok is actually very useful to find
- very specific recipes
- rare places to visit
- specific tutorials
- content in rare languages
- insight from countries and cultures not found in regular media
- some manifestation footage from the pov of the people
- even some war/violent event footage before moderation and is better than Youtube, Reddit or a regular search engine for those.
However, it also has huge amounts of
- misinformation
- political propaganda
- dumb people
- pseudoscience
- mass surveillance
and it’s usage has negative effects on brain such as:
- reduced attention span
- distorted time perception
- boredom intolerance
This is cope. TT feeds you the information you don’t need or search for it. If you search you will find better sources for everything. It’s just a big advertisement platform.
Also tf is manifestation footage?
How tf is this cope I don’t even use this shit. Just give me the better sources for everything then ? Because I know people who use it and they find things hard to find otherwise. Just because it’s a shit social media doesn’t mean you should lie about what it can do.
Manifestation footage is footage of a manifestation. Quite often people I know who use tiktok talk to me about things going on in other countries that are not talked about in public media
I don’t think its a good source for any of these, because its short videos. You don’t actually look for information there, because searching for specific these specific videos is hard. If you want specific information you gotta read, because text-based info is searchable.
Recipes are on recipe websites, interesting places in local forums, same with rare languages. Tutorials are all over the internet.
Protest are definetly not on the Chinese run social media, unless China wants it to be amplified.
It’s maybe good for memes.
Videos come with hashtags which are text and thus searchable, then the algorithm recommends similar videos or other with the same keywords that are related.
A lot of information is better in a visual format than text: tourism guides and art for example.
Sure but you must know the forums and they have way less user base than TT where you have all content with a single search engine.
Yes there are a lot, note that they have a different feed for chinese citizens where there are probably way less.
Don’t use Tiktok. But also, don’t use any social media run by large corporations. You deserve better than that.
Yikes! Glad I never used TikTok
I wish I could packet sniff or monitor what apps are doing what on my phone. If I install a calculator, I only want it to math some numbers, not harvest data from me.
Apple is supposed to mention this in the App Store but even then it’s just a tag on an app and there’s no more details.
TikTok literally checking up your ass at this point
a little reminder that trump’s bringing in a lot of reactionary doom and gloom, and the solution is revolutionary optimism. seriously!
Soon this data will be collected by far-right oligarchs like Larry Ellison through Oracle. We really need a huge push to urge everyone to stop using TikTok.
what would lenin do?
Even worse.
Soon this data will be collected by far-right oligarchs like Larry Ellison through Oracle.
And maybe the Chinese and Russian governments, too, paying top dollar through a bunch of cutouts.
at this point, we need to organize. seriously!
