FB competition (specially TikTok) gives a sh*t about controlling what is in their platform, and shrug to the fact there is a lot of young people exposing their bodies in very explicit ways. What makes me nuts is that apparently nobody cares when it comes to TikTok, but same crowd loves jumping and telling shit about FB "not fighting disinformation", etc. FB competition is extremely unfair. Let me suggest one experiment: Create a new tiktok account from scratch and select zero interests and don't give any likes. Start scrolling videos and take a look in the amount of borderline porn it will show you. As one of my friends once defined "-tiktok is a gateway drug to onlyfans" TC: 350K
People shaking their asses on tiktok is not the same as people spreading covid misinformation and organizing a radical coup…
No, it is worse from my perspective, borderline criminal enabling kids to expose themselves this way.
Worse? Wtf dude get off your puritan high horse.
There is some illegal stuff also with underage kids posting videos, which I won't get into details. Surprised they can get away with all this in the US.
Ok
FB is going to lose the fight. They are totalitarian and love to control content, they dont care about their user base People love to be free and to post or consume whatever they want. TikTok provides that
Sure thing Ford.
Same crowd that says they don't control misinformation accuses them of being totalitarian and controlling content. Could you guys please decide what do you expect from them?
If TikTok replaces FB then people would start shitting more about Tiktok.
Tiktok is already big enough for that. Either journalists don't know how to use tiktok and are unaware about its woes, or they clearly have a bias (my bet is on the later)
Yup they are biased because TikTok isn’t as powerful as FB
Most people don't understand how much info is tracked by other companies. Main stream media likes to blame FB as they've an advantage (FB is a news source, remember).
FB is as much "news source" as any other social media platform, including TikTok.
Why are you using TikTok in the first place? It’s a Chinese psyop
TikTok is a great place for soft porn. It's no better than that.
Maybe this is just the current dynamic equilibrium with the existing regulation. The names and roles will change, but you’ll have the self-regulated visible platform and the yet-to-be-regulated emerging platform.
The only thing is that the "yet-to-be" is already large enough, and even though media only targets FB.
