Why TikTok scares me

Alice is scarier.

UPDATE: The government-elect of the Philippines is accrediting SocMed Influencers to become their mouthpiece in their war against media practitioners here.

Basically, it's:

Influencer > News Reporter

 

[Macha]

Thanks for that. I'll def need it when the police/military would start arresting us opposition supporters (No, really, I'm serious).

I hope it won't become another Burma.

(I probably sound like a crazy conspiracist writing this thread, so watch this for a better explanation:

) To put it simply, TikTok is owned by ByteDance, who is backed by the CCP and many of its higher-ups.

Its’ algorithm is curated to your interests, learning about you, your likes, dislikes, or possibly even thoughts. There are hundreds of TikToks along the lines of,
‘has anybody else’s FYP been a little too accurate today? I’m talking thoughts that you haven’t said or anything, just thought to yourselves.’

The CCP has this information, and they’ve openly stated that they want the world to be ruled by the Chinese.

Y’see, the thing is, a few reports have shown that Gen Z’s attention span has already been reduced to the level of that of a goldfish, AND, while the western version of TikTok has a lot of degeneracy, with users stating their DoB as 13 and still having TikToks telling them to go to people’s OnlyFans pop up constantly, the CN version(Douyin) shows mostly positive content about the CCP in a good light, educational things, wholesome things, etc.


So while the west are on their phones, ‘sinking into depravity’, the Chinese, having gone from a third-world country to their current state, are getting smarter, more patriotic and more conditioned for war.


I genuinely dread what’s to come.

Also the label of conspiracy theorist is just like calling someone a fascist, racist anti-Semite and stuff. It’s basically a defamatory label used to gatekeep people from promoting and discussing topics that actually matter and should be discussed.

 

[ThrillingHuman]

Honestly I’ve lost a lot of friends my age since I don’t use snapchat or TikTok and instead go on message boards like some boomer

Boomers hang around on weird Facebook pages, posting cringe minion memes

Samsung exists.

Well let me introduce you to Nestle, who takes water from third world countries then sells it back to them for higher market value. Don't get me started on the amount of babies they kill because of their baby formula schemes.

Trump should have shut down tiktok, Twitter, instagram, Snapchat and all social media. Unironically.

That would literally destroy a lot of people's livelihoods and make it harder for the general populous to communicate with each other. The aftermath would not be as good as you perceive it in your head.

Well, considering that those groups usually end up being the ones perpetuating conspiracy theories like Jewish people are running the government from behind the scenes, then yeah its meant as a defamatory thing. Not to mention how lots of conspiracy theories generally ignore factual evidence to perpetuate their own agenda.

 

[Zirrboy]

Not even the "knowing what you think" part is new. The predecessors just learned their lesson after some initial unrest and mixed the results up with less accurate guesses to appear less creepy.

But anyone on social media I don't use is either inherently retarded, puppet to a political interest I hate or both anyways.

Okay and? You can still communicate without social media. Texting and calling would still be a thing. And honestly those whose’s livelihoods depend on social media should have it collapse. Unironically. The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race…

to a degree they kind of are right, seriously disproportionate. But provide an example of them ignoring factual evidence. And wait isn’t like all of factual evidence of these “conspiracies” tampered by the CIA and the dishonest main stream media. And wait why do the people magically trust big business and politicians when they know that they are evil, corrupt and teaming with another?

Hey, just think whoever gets the first quantum computer can screw everyone else over cyber security.

And people wonder why kids these days are so goddamn nuts? Seriously, Uncle Ted saw this taming place decades before 99% of this site was born. He wrote about it in a book called Industrial Society and Its Future.

It's not a conspiracy. You are being manipulated by systems you know nothing about for a goal you cannot comprehend.

You know the system is useless when it doesn't give you cheat powers and the ability to level up.

And the elite politicians, nobles of the modern society, calmed this unrest with their innate authority and upheld natural order against the anarchic vermin.

Everybody except me, of course! I'm lucid and in no way part of a puppet opposition catching strayers before they dig deeper.

Well the economy would crash for one. It's not just TikTokers or Youtubers that would be affected. Any profession that requires any type of internet access would be hurt tremendously. Not to mention, authors would be affected as well. Indie Authors would find it hard to market their book if social media is banned on all accounts, severely destroying the self publish boom. And I think you severely doubt the good the industrial revolution did for humanity. If it weren't for that moment of human history, hospitals would still be under the logic that rubbing herbs on wounds would cure more than actual medicinal practice. Hell, we'd still probably be riding in horse and carriages.

Literally the entire flat earth conspiracy. The way how they ignore the basic concept of light and climate proves that right there. If the earth worked like they think it worked, the equator wouldn't even be the constantly most humid and hottest climate on the earth. Gravity itself wouldn't even work on a flat earth, so they just ignore the concept of gravity by saying there's an ice dome. And even still, its scientists that are coming up with this stuff, even the ones without government funding. The whole earth is a globe thing was figured during the days of Aristotle.

That's not proof. That's something that some dude in their mother's basement made in two minutes with no evidence backing up their belief. Not only is that not proof, but that's not even right. The term "conspiracy theory" has gone back much farther before the CIA was even founded. 1863, Some dude tried to say that England was using the civil war to try and weaken the American trust in their government to retake the Americas, when in reality England couldn't have cared less about what we were doing. That was one of the first known uses of the word conspiracy theory.

Cope. The economy and technology only means to an end. The economy and economy are not a transcendental ideals like God, nation or community.

Medicine was already advancing a lot before the industrial revolution. Far beyond the point of random herbs.

Did I even defend the flat earth conspiracy?

It said that the term conspiracy theory was popularized by the CIA not invented by the CIA. Let me quote them.

“The term "conspiracy theorist" was a term made popular by the CIA .”

If I take the term LITRPG and make it popular as hell that doesn’t mean I created LITRPG, that just means I made everyone know it.

Calm down. Clam down. There’s no need to get in such an emotion frenzy. For sanity’s sake let’s shut up.
