He can just fuck off with the rest of them.
Pretty sure the current administration wants to turn TikTok into an rightwing cesspit. Can they rely on Mr. Beast to make that happen?
Another soulless grifter like zuck and musk ?… yep you can count on him. As long as the money flows…to fuck all with anything else.
So it’s okay for some random dude to collect sensitive data and spread propaganda?
He’s a white male, so yep!
checks current social media landscape
Yep, apparently!
Hey I have a question, if the US go ahead with the decision of making tiktok sell its US wing, are the privacy concerns over? Would tiktok be seen as a regular app like Instagram? Don’t get me wrong I hate any kind of doomscrolling app.
The US wing is already owned by the Oracle guy.
First, I think that the concern is national security, not privacy. I don’t expect that it’d necessarily have a privacy impact one way or another.
Second, if you’re located in Europe – I notice you’re on a .de home instance – I’m not sure whether this would have any direct impact for EU users if just the US operations are sold.
Don’t really like the guy, but probably better him than Musk
Why did we have to shoot the fucking Gorilla? Why?
Can you get Taylor Swift, Jeff Bezos, Koch bros, Murdoch, Kanye or more to join as well? What about nationalising it, hell, selling it to Denmark…?
let the hunger games begin…
“Mister” Beast is a charlatan.
Yes. But. He is also only 26 and his life has had an insane trajectory during the years when he is supposed to be learning empathy, responsibility, budgeting, getting an education, life. His frontal cortex is just now probably finalizing development. Musk, Zuck, Bezos, etc fuck em. They are old enough to know better. Donaldson is a pretty big douche currently and has made many mistakes, asking people to do things without himself fully understanding consequences, not consulting with responsible adults in the industries he and his friends are attempting to join. I don’t know. I don’t have much hope that he is not an asshole and he certainly is in his villain era. I’m just grasping at any glimpse of hope for society.
Sadly, in the United States, these are the guys running the show. Because enough dumbfuck pieces of shit voted for him while another massive group of dumbfuck pieces of shit decided not to vote at all to stop him.
But, hey, at least Palestine is free! Oh wait…
