Bullshit on my end. Just checked another person’s ability to search and see Epstein videos on TikTok. Didn’t see any censorship there.
It might be algorithmic targeting. Or AB testing. We live in a world where no one sees the same site anymore.
man, if people only knew how deep that rabbithole was. At a company I worked at we’d sell ad buckets based not only who people were now, but who our models said they were probably likely to be in the future. It was a goldmine. CTR rate was extraordinary.
It wasn’t just the US. I’m outside and I couldn’t write the word in DMs either.
Thus driving the proliferation of alternative platforms, encryption, etc. They can’t put the toothpaste back in the bottle.
…”bottle”? Is it “bottle”? I’ve never bought toothpaste in a bottle, it always comes in a squeezie pouch nozzle thing…

I really don’t think the average tiktoker knows most of these words

I though the saying was that you can’t put the genie back in the bottle.

Trump and Epstein were best friends after Epstein opened the island
Trump was convicted of raping someone in civil court
Seems like the fediverse works fine 👍

Interesting safety feature about the fedverse is that it will also protect your password.

It looks fine to me.
If you press Alt-F4 it let’s you see account emails.
This is how I learn bash.org is no more…
Snapshots are still accessible on the Wayback machine, and I think a ton of snippets are available as an archive of text files too!
I’m bummed it’s gone.
Mine is 1,2,3,4,5.
Good. Thanks for helping me test this. Don’t worry about what I wrote, comrade.
Yeah, and we have like 0.07% of their reach.
You can fool some people some time, you can fool some people all the time, but you can’t fool all the people all the time.
Unfortunately, you don’t have to fool all the people all the time, 99.93% of the people most of the time will do just fine. Shit, 51% is plenty enough.
Oh, they’ll get around to shanking lemmy eventually. We should enjoy it while it lasts.
We like to shit on Tik Tok, but you’re right that their reach is absolutely massive. Recently when Democrats were writing op eds and taking out ads saying that troops should ignore illegal orders, a high ranking member of the military (I forget who) commented that the messaging was ineffective because troops almost universally get their “news” through Tik Tok.
Soldiers will obey orders. That’s what they do.
My Lai, Abu Ghraib, Kent State, Bonus Army March.
Soldiers aren’t trained to be moral philosophers, they’re paid to do what they’re told
Be all you’re told to be.
troops almost universally get their “news” through Tik Tok.
One finger to swipe leaves a hand free for munching crayons.
Proving the point perfectly. They aren’t paid to think. They’re paid to follow orders.
When the time comes, they will not hesitate to fire upon US civilians, and those who do will be shot alongside them.
It does? I didn’t see it can someone write it two or three more times just to be sure?

Why did you post a bunch of asterixes?
Hey - how did they know my password?
8 asterisks then Aa1! is my password too. It might be we all use the same password.
Fuck.
Both were blackmailers, their wonderful secret. That’s why they were such enigmas. But epstein was connected to a foreign intelligence agency, maybe the president was too, even that far back.
Meanwhile, we in Europe have American Billionaires constantly attacking any government or legal body that enforces their own national laws, by threatening to sue and throwing childish insults for suppressing free speech.
Many of us haven’t ever had legal freedom of speech in our constitutions, but the reality is we have a lot more than Americans right now.
It worked in America, so…
Well the companies that own social media have a right to moderate as they see fit, and the government has a right to force them to regulate speech behind the scenes. So, freedom of speech means dick online. I mean elsewhere, present company excluded. Reddit is a world better than the rest of them but they’re fucked too and clearly getting worse, as any company going public will be, even without fascists seizing absolute power and nothing left to stop them.
The government doesn’t have the right to regulate free speech behind the scenes. It has the ability to, but it is considered a violation of free speech for them to do this. Not that anyone cares.
What a joke. I hope tik tok crashes and burns.
They did all of that, because Israel. Because tik tok declined to rig moderation in favor of Israel. They care more about that country than our own. Now what were we talking about, epstein, ahem. Completely unrelated I’m sure, except for all of the child fucking blackmail Israel holds, that might have something to do with it now that you mention it.
I wonder if trump blowing bubbha can possibly be real. Can you imagine. That would do it, if it came out.
It’s literally the only thing I could imagine being bad enough to go to these lengths over. The Maxwell connection with her father and Mossad is the inflamed fucking toenail they are trying to hush up to hide the gangrene.
It’s got to be so fucking bad, like, I am beginning to think that the pedophilia isn’t the worst part, more like the tip of the iceberg, and that whatever that shit would uncover would spell the fall of nations, civilization or straight up nuclear war.
Worth noting is that among the investors loyal to Trump is Larry Ellison, renowned massive turd of a human being. Just totally coincidentally, his festering dingleberry of a son David Ellison is the person that installed the pro-genocide propagandist Bari Weiss as editor-in-chief at CBS.

No I don’t. I just like the sound it makes when it slices.
“It’s time to investigate,” he wrote in a post to X on Monday night. “I am launching a review into whether TikTok is violating state law by censoring Trump-critical content.”
What are “things I’d rather be said by my opponent rather than my ally” for 500?
Better get used to it. The oligarchs are swallowing up all the media companies in the US.
They’re actually already basically done, since like a couple of months ago or so. It’s kind of pretty very extremely fucked up!
MS Now/MSN seems to have honest reporting (at least some).
MSN is owned and operated by Microsoft Corporation.
MS NOW (formerly MSNBC), is a cable news channel owned by Versant Media Group.
Versant Media Group is an independent publicly traded company, after they spun off from Comcast.
Comcast CEO Brian L. Roberts and his family retain significant share holder control.
He’s a billionaire that paid tons of money to both parties (let’s pause and think about this for a moment because as obvious as it is to all of us, we tend to forget that it is not normal to live in a two party state no more than it is living in a one party state), leaning mostly republican.
So, I guess, as billionaires go, he’s not the worst offender. But, as billionaires go, he will always do what is financially expedient- that’s why any rich person pays both sides, so that regardless who comes out on top YoY, they win.
They’ve been gone a while sadly, most haven’t noticed.
Freedum!!

They’ve said publicly they intend to turn it into a MAGA-first platform. And now people are surprised?
and it should die just as X Tawtter should.
Anyone in the US with TikTok can you confirm you can’t type it?
Not me but apparently they’ve confirmed they’re looking into this “glitch”.
Im sure it’s a huge priority…… . .
I’m sure it’s a glitch …
I’ve just tried it. I can type these things and do searches, view the videos, whatever.
I will note, however, that my TikTok settings are very customized, even being on iOS. I’ve gone through every single setting, both within the app and within the iOS settings, and I’ve turned off anything and everything that can be turned off. TikTok sees virtually nothing. So, maybe I’m not blocked because all TikTok knows is that I’ve got an iPhone, I may or may not be in the US (I keep on VPN), and that I’m Trekkie who enjoys ASMR videos at night, but that’s about it.

A bit too inflatable-looking for me, but you do you.
What no one mentioned so far: going these lengths literally confirms this us a weak spot.
Well, weak spot removed for a majority of the voting public. This is going to be so fucking bad…
Tik Tok is a way bigger threat to democracy than ICE.
Gee I wonder why the USA bought it.
Idk, the federal agency with 200 billion in the bank I think it a greater threat, seeing as tik tok is just one social media company. They all steal our data too, and sell it, including to the chinese the entire thing was bullshit. Once again it was because of Israel criticism being allowed, they didn’t falsely claim they were terrorist sympathizing by acknowledging what was going on over there.
Israel first, to such a degree it makes one wonder why they care so much, until you remember epstein was a honeypot for israel’s intelligence agency to get blackmail on US politicians, and the UK. And businessman, the ivy league in general, swells. They’ve a critical mass. And they could have more than just child fucking blackmail too.
My point is that with control of TikTok, they can control enough of the voting population to be set forever (media is like, wow we don’t understand why young men have suddenly started skewing right wing hard), granting them the capacity to give as many billions they want to their private army. I legitimately think that 2024 was the last time we will have come to a semblance of a fair election- which I believe it wasn’t either way. They needed to win that one, the last one, every one after this will be “free and fair” in the Russian or North Korean sense of “free and fair”. I mean they are blatantly open about it, on every level, no need to even go into the fingerprints they left all over, or the times they literally were caught or did it anyway- 2000 elections being settled by the SC, voter record purges, buying votes, redistricting and gerrymandering, bomb threats to polling stations, mail in ballots banned, that time they were literally investigated by the FBI in Georgia and destroyed the servers, that whistleblower in charge of the voting machines getting assassinated, it just goes on and on and on…
On your second point, I’m with you, I answered one of your other comments, but it’s like… You have to tread lightly because you don’t want to give the nazis free ammo with that shit. I don’t know what to say, the situation is beyond unbelievably fucked up, and I genuinely don’t see how it can ever return to normality.
Our elections have always been corrupted to one degree or another. The concept of a popularity contest where the person that makes the most money generally wins is complete bullshit for a democracy.
