We are now facing a time where democracy is in critical condition, but a dragnet of surveillance and suppression has already closed around young activists, an entire movement has been intimidated into silence, and the social media networks appear to be pandering to the federal government. To adopt the logic of information-nationalism is to commit to a course of action that is at odds with democracy. Now, the things that we need the most in this moment are things we have already given away.

We have always been at war with TikTok. We have never been at war with TikTok. And if we are lucky, one day, we can all look back and be able to tell the truth about ourselves — how we imprisoned our children, dismantled our universities, and tried to ban a scrolling video app, all because we could not admit that we were wrong about Palestine.

This article reads like a college term paper.

It feels like they value clever wordsmithing over making a clear point.

Edit: accidentally a word

It’s clear to me


they seem to miss the point that social media manipulation is a massive threat to democracy and has already affected many elections

the draconian measures being used now are because we have poor tools to tell if social media is authentic or not



The pressure campaign worked and TikTok has been neutered ever since.


They appointed an exIDF instructor to determine what's hate speech...

Suddenly it wasn't a problem anymore




So many people swallowed the Democrat lie that it was Chinese surveillance even though the ADL were screaming about Gen Z's pro Palestine views.

It's literally Chinese surveillance the way that Facebook is Corporate-American surveillance. But China has a lot more ownership of what its companies have, hence why it's considered essentially Chinese-owned.


Can’t it be both?


...but it is Chinese surveillance lol

I mean I find this plausible but I haven’t seen public evidence for this. Is there any?

no, but the zionists did offer to pinky swear on it.

Lol. Since I got no answers and only downvotes I’m left to assume this allegation is unsubstantiated. I don’t accept pinky swears from war criminals as a personal rule.





It's also Chinese surveillance. But maybe that's just another Democrat lie, like your dick, comrade
