Honestly I don't even know where to start, just speechless.

This is just sooo bad 😑

#TikTok and #Meta = pure evil:

"maximizes profits at the expense of their audience's wellbeing"

"told us that it's because the stock price is down"

"maintain a strong relationship" with political figures to avoid threats of regulation or bans"

"advice to parents with children using TikTok is: "Delete it, keep them as far away as possible from the app for as long as possible"

Meta and TikTok let harmful content rise after evidence outrage drove engagement - whistleblowers

Companies allowed more harmful content on user’s feeds, knowing their algorithms ran on outrage, BBC hears.

No corporation has ever done anything altruistic. It is a myth. One cannot serve two masters, and their master is "shareholders", aka the 1%.

If they can get away with an evil yet profitable action, they MUST do it. There is no choice in their algorithmic profit maximizing natures, and their CEOs are slaves to this motive. Matters not if they're reluctant or eager for their dark deeds.

They and their owners must be muzzled and chained down to channel their greed towards public good.

@TrimTab Problem is those supposed to chain them down, are working hand in hand with them. Both sides would sell a child’s soul if they could get a penny for it ;)
@madeindex
Indeed you speek truth, it is a problem. But we vastly outnumber them. Change is inevitable, lets keep our heads up. :-)

@TrimTab I'm working on the change, hopefully I will be able to share the project this year :)

Are you by any chance knowledgeable about programming / tech or politics?

@madeindex
Programming is a past career of mine. Tech is my business. Politics - I can only say I'm interested in pragmatic level headed truth and honesty. Meaning I've gone my life without a political party. LOL
