How are they being harmed? Why was it so easy for them to make you believe this? Also, who asked you to protect anyone with your one petty little email lmao

Personalized feed? What? I’ve never heard of anything like that

TikTok is banned in China because the Chinese government doesn’t have enough control to censor the app there but ok. I’m sure all those cat videos created by American millennials on my feed are just part of their insidious plot to do… something real bad!

It’s genuinely embarassing to see people here behaving this way. And disappointing.

Oh no… Someone that was told the opinion they should have about tiktok years ago never bothered to think about it for more that five seconds before repeating it

Did it hurt? Becoming a boomer.

Why would I care? Is it somehow better for google or facebook to profit off of my data? China doesn’t even solely own the app. They don’t even own enough of the app to censor it and so it’s banned in China lmao

TikTok is banned in China because they don’t have enough ownership to censor it but ok. I’m sure it’s whatever you just made up too because China bad and reasons.

They also claimed that it was only “old people and teenagers” who were calling in and objecting which wasn’t true. One rep stood up and straight up lied claiming that TikTok users were “forced” to call. How would that even work? TikTok possibly being banned isn’t a lie but all that other shit sure was. It was just a popup offering to help locate local reps to call and make their voices heard. The fact that any of you are pretending that people taking this democratic action is a bad thing is appalling and your bias is blatantly obvious. The absolute ego on all of you to act like you just know better than all of those other people because… Reasons? Ridiculous.

Ok, sure. Show me what research you or they have done to justify “protecting them from themselves”. Already they’re telling lies by insinuating that only teenagers and old people are calling. And you all just believe it? Wild how biased people can be when presented with information they want to believe.

You’re not doing it to protect people. It’s ridiculous that you’d even pretend to be.

The fact that you guys just ate up that rhetoric without any hesitation… Like, you just happily believe it’s a bunch of “addicted old people and teenagers”? Is this reddit? Did I make a wrong turn at common sense and critical thinking?

It’s not just teenagers and old people. That’s just some bullshit rhetoric that you ate right up without question. Because of course you did. Millennials/middle age folk are abundant on TikTok as well as young adults.

The audacity of some of you to jump into action just to spite “teenagers and old people” is shameful. So easily manipulated.

This post was a joke but I once had a woman scream at me for an hour that her account number had 666 in the middle of it. She was extremely upset that nobody warned her about this. She wanted a new account AND a refund for the entire time that the “sinful” account was active.

I should mention that her account was 15 years old at the time. The number never changed during that time it was always the same. She screamed so long and hard that they gave her a credit that essentially covered an entire year of service. I hate it here 😀

Ahhh, the good old days

Cable sucked for other reasons and I sure wouldn’t have ever really called it cheap. There’s a reason people wanted to get away from it in the first place. I’ve been seeing a lot of pro cable nonsense going around and it would be such a pity if the streaming situation devolved back to putting up with the predatory nature of cable-like services.

That checks out actually… I’m satisfied with that answer lol

I’m not proud to admit that I kinda wanna know what John is up to in cell AE2672

God of War changed the way I speak to my cats on an embarrassingly cringy level

Back then an hour of grinding was a bigger deal than it is now lol

Yeah that’s great and all until you realize that paying for services just allows them take your money and still also do whatever they want with your data lol. If I could give them money for a guarantee that they wouldn’t collect or sell my data on top of that then…maybe. Probably not since I’d never trust Google to keep their word on that they’re so slimy now.
