Tick Tok Ban

[K-Dog]

Clips from the Tic Tok reaction pepper this video.  Justified anger.

As K-Dog I'm allowed to seriously weigh in.  Censorship issues spawned this website.  Americans DO NOT understand that all American communications must be monitored by the deep state.  Servers must be controlled by Bezos on the front end, and homeland security on the back end. With a dashboard of buttons there to yank your chain.  Anything else is un-American.  Being American is all about minding other people's business.  You need info to exploit other people, and in America it seems, that is what it is all about.

Homeland security can't interrupt your TikTok feed and terrorize you as they have done to me over Netflix.  So Tic Tok has to go.

Learn the rules of the FSOA so you know what to do and how to adapt.  Go anywhere on the net and you are likely on a fully instrumented commercial platform.  Being here is a rare exception.  Here there is ONLY 24-7 surveillance (I don't customize your viewing experience), and I watch the bots that do the dirty work of watching us.  If things get too controversial the 'US Service Plan' kicks in and we loose the controversial content.

Which I may be able to restore, or not.

I hate this bitch.

* It saddens me that other people have not rolled their own platform as I have done.

President Trump opposes banning TikTok in the United States at this juncture, and seeks the ability to resolve the issues at hand through political means once he takes office," his lawyer Dean John Sauer wrote in a brief to the Supreme Court.

Once TicTok has a homeland security dashboard, the liar in chief of the FSOA will be fine with the new arrangement.

Why don't all those Tik Tok users form a cooperative and start their on Social Media platform?

Because they prefer to consume,  not create.

The young are by nature conservative.  They only rebel against their parents.  On other issues they are for the most part good little fascists.

While I am sure this is annoying for the users of Tik Toc, I don't see it as a very effective means of stopping thee content providers who are pro-Palestinian from voicing their opinions.  There are other plaforms they can migrate to.  Personally, I don't find the short video format to be that great anyhow.

Well, some concepts in there well expressed. Minding other people's business certainly rings a bell. When you participate at even small websites, you aren't safe. Before doxxing was even a thing, admins at previous incarnations of collapse blogs were tracing people's movements, tracking them to find out who they were, passing the information around among others "in the know", etc etc.

So obviously your point extends WAY beyond elites, and the same habits and desires to exploit exists among common website owners. How do we know which websites to trust? Is your anonymous word of protecting subscribers any different than what you accept when joining Facebook? When exactly these types are the norm?

* It saddens me that other people have not rolled their own platform as I have done.

If even the little guys are doing the same thing as the big boys, what is the point? Not you of course, but other litte Forum Admin Power of God types who use that power to be no different than Elon and Bezos and the big boys? Just because...they can.

Not my experience with my own "young" at all. Depends on perhaps who raised them? I can see parent's turning their kids into good little fascists. Just as I can see them not. Parents matter in the outcome I'm betting.

That's EZ.  Trust no one.  If it's important information for you personally, confirm it from at least 3 independent sources.  Question Everything.

Well that certainly is the absolutist answer that puts a stake through the entire point K-Dog was trying to make.He was saying more people should do it like he does....with the presumption being he is different. But you've just ruled out trusting him as well, for exactly the reasons I stated.

And by default all website owners need to be treated as the scumbag non-free speech sell you down the street in second for a dollar types.

Unfortunate that your solution simply reinforces my point. No one gets to pretend they are any better than the Brezos/Zuckerburg/Elon crowd....they are just less successful at being theiving scumbags.

Yes...good advice....even those with beyond advanced analytical training and the proven results demonstrating their use of decades would never have thought of that one along the way. Hell, they might have done what the amateurs all did and ran around like their hair was on fire and peak oil was going to destroy the world! Remember the old website, how close we came with contact with Planet X? BOE? People fleeing to doomsteads, buying vehicles to flee the MZB hoardes flowing out from the cities? It was all quite exciting...but because they didn't know the basic lesson you just mentioned.....well....egg on face, etc etc.

If you only know a person through the web, you can't trust them.  It's like with online dating.  You can meet a person online and begin to get to know them, but if you're wise you wouldn't agree to marry the person just based on that.  You would have to take the next step and meet in person and spend time together before you take that step.  I'd have to spend at least a couple of months of being with the person before I took that step.

For a good friendship, somewhat less.  Kdog and I have spent quite a bit of time together in visits plus our camping  expedition during the solar eclipse, so I have good trust with him as a close friend, but not enough to marry him. lol..

Even with the video nowadays, the web is very two dimensional.  If most of your interaction is text based, it's even less.  A lot of information is conveyed non-verbally when you are with a pescon in body language, facial expressions and voice modulation.  Even smell comes into play with pheromones.  There's no substitute for IRL interactions to develop a full relationship of trust.
