Smart enough to realize it, but not smart enough to not say it.
Rather than write a public letter pointing it out, he could have just let it happen.
When your enemy is helping you, don’t tell them.
It might encourage them to stop.
Loops is only two months old at this point. As far as I know it’s still just Daniel Supernault doing all the work.

I’m pretty close to a free speech absolutist. I don’t think I’ve ever disagreed so completely with TechDirt. This is not a TikTok ban. It’s a ByteDance ban. Corporations aren’t people. The government is fully within it’s rights to force a foreign state owned corp to sell or shutdown operations in the US.
Like you said this is another Corp vs Gov power play, and the public has largely been duped into supporting the Corpos again.
I’m pretty sure there are HIPPA rules about informing the public as soon as possible. I could be wrong.
There’s no identifiable info on the ballot.
The ballots themselves are available to be recounted if necessary.
Ente is trying to be an end to end encrypted version of GooglePhotos.
That’s what I was thinking.
I’m pretty sure FUTO isn’t the only one either.
This doesn’t seem like new tech.
What you’re looking for is Friendica.
Don’t try to screw things together with a hammer.
American social media platforms creating an environment where propaganda and misinformation flourish and refusing to take action against it has the same net effect as TikTok altering internal algorithm.
Targeted intent vs general apathy is a massive difference.
That could be. It sounds plausible. Do you have any studies?
What intelligence agency?
NCRI is a social media research group.
Lots of people think the US social media platforms do that. But none of the scientific studies have been able to show it.
The US companies are all purely driven by engagement, to maximize profit. The most effective source of that engagement, changes from person to person. But it’s most commonly what you might call “Rage Bait”.
Twiter’s recent bend toward the right, is primarily self selection of it’s users. As the left… left… the platform, the pool of available content shifted right; Causing even more to leave. Unless you have some paper I haven’t seen.
And Facebook selling data, is entirely different and unrelated. Nobody (no lawmakers) care about that.
Yah. Whatever happens, TikTok will NOT be leaving the US market.
Not quite. TikTok has been shown to tweak their algorithm against criticism of China. That’s the real reason for the concern. Their ability and willingness to purposefully manipulate people.
Again. Not a TikTok ban. A ByteDance ban.
If BytDance sells, TikTok stays.
Screen shots aren’t articles. And that one is 2 days old.
Here’s a followup article with more details.
