Meta Mistake II - Jackin Joggin Woke Grok

[Krandor]

Apparently people just really want to give Bytedance their data since according to that article the number 1 and 2 free apps are from them.

[Milkster]

The logic people are using is 1) it's insignificant data they're collecting and 2) the American based countries are harvesting all our data/experiencing data breaches without repercussions.

And 3) being on RedNote is helping more Americans become bilingual. Granted it's Mandarin but still we love cultural exchanges

[Sirious]

All of those are correct. As a citizen your information is basically worthless, you're not worth anything other than a set of eyeballs to advertise to. Your data is harvested by hundreds of companies anyway. It'll be more important than ever to speak chinese sooner than later.

[Tymon]

Yeah clearly the feds and their massive investigation that convinced *checks notes* huge bipartisan support in every branch of the federal government must just be full of shit

Obviously since Zuck and Musk are Trump dickriding data hoarders we need to lean all the way in and fully embrace the company literally owned by *checks notes again* a foreign adversary of the global West

If you're so convinced your information is completely useless and hoarding data is a nothing burger then why is the only acceptable option to throw all of the chips in with the CCP?

Y'all gonna import Xiaomi cars and start using Huawei phones too?

Spoiler: show

I would 100% buy a Xiaomi EV though

The global West thats openly regressing to embrace white supremacy and Christian nationalism and putting them in charge of everything?

[Andalusian girls]

true, we should give Sino supremacy and Chinese nationalism a chance

who really likes Uyghurs / Tibetans / Taiwanese / Mongolians / gays / women / liberals / Muslims / free speech advocates / human rights defenders / journalists / democracy activists / [internet terminated for low social credit score]

[Milkster]

Have you seen the republican party lately cause.... they're against all that and will have control of every branch of government. Crazy that you think America has any kind of moral high ground. Haven't we been footing the bill for a blatant genocide the last 15 months?

[Salodin]

America does a lot wrong, but I think you're crazy to think the average Chinese person has more freedom from their government than we do. Many concerns here of course, but every concern is worse over there.

Trying to find a moral high ground on "footing the bill" for a genocide when China has been busy with one against their own citizens for a decade is an interesting choice.

Oh my God, this is how Firefly happened

Girl it's not a binary. It's a spectrum and this is how you continue to slide that Overton window further right. Well, at least it's not as bad as *insert place* as they continue to make America an oligarchy that employs white supremacy. And they'll slowly continue to pick apart those freedoms over time. It's not conspiracy theory when hell y'all can't even watch porn legally in Florida anymore.

[Cantih]

Oh my God, this is how Firefly happened

Tai-kong suo-yo duh shing-chiou sai-jin wuh duh pee-goo

[Krandor]

You can't watch pornhub in Florida (without a VPN) because they decided to just block access in the state instead of complying with the age verification laws they implemented.

The law is stupid but someone can literally just go watch porn anywhere else.

[Salodin]

The market has a solution in the porn case.

You won't see dystopian crackdowns like the US is doing to honest companies like ByteDance in China, Russia, or Iran!

We know who the good guys are!!!!

Rednote, which is already frustrating to watch as people get misled. I've seen countless Reddit posts claiming that China is far superior to America in terms of healthcare, quality of life, and basic wages. This demonstrates that people on the left can be just as gullible as those on the right when influenced by curated news feeds, especially since these posts seem to be coming primarily from liberal users spreading this narrative.

Again this isn't just about Tiktok. This how they sold the Patroit Act to our parents and they ate it up.

Look dude I can appreciate the concerning precedent and celebrate the death of that abhorrent shit stain of an app they're not mutually exclusive.

I mean it's a hard 180 reaction to how fucked the US is and a "grass is greener" mindset but I mean half these people are fucking up to their neck in student loan debt and will never afford a place of their own so yeah they're gonna look at China "MAYBE" having a better system to the things that vex them and go "THE HOLY LAND!"
