That would still be taking money from kids. One would assume marketing is involved so that’s tricking kids into making a purchase.

My solution is simply stop letting kids have video games. If we want to censor things, let’s censor them.

So all games should be free?

We shouldn’t allow children online or playing video games. If we’re going full jack Thompson, let’s go full jack Thompson. No one under 21 gets Internet or games.

That’s nice that you enjoy a much less expansive library of entertainment and practically no social interaction. Most people think that’s too large of a tradeoff in a world where corpos have all the information about you from birth.

Hope you trust your VPN provider, that’s the most common single point of failure given your ISP is collecting and selling all of your data.

Yes, you know the dozen billionaires that will be in the executive branching in 3 days, or the hundred or so billionaires that completely control the US government?

Everyone that moved to rednote absolutely knows their data was scrapped by Tiktok, including contacts and general behavior on their phone.

We’re 30 years past that mattering. Every corporation and thus every government with money knows what you masturbate to and what makes you laugh. They all know where you work and what your net worth is. If they don’t it takes less than a dollar to find out through your advertising id report.

None of the major data brokers refuse to sell to specific governments.

Both parties have attempted in gain a partisan majority in scotus, one succeeded, and now Republicans have succeeded.

Three of the accomplishments in that selection were struck down before going into effect, the antitrust doj actions are nice and all, but don’t actually fix anything or defend the working class – mainly because the effect the admin desired, price reduction and wage increases, didn’t happen. Inflation corrected wages are lower now than in 2020, and food prices never stabilized.

No, you people choose to be ignorant and believe the US government, instead of visiting China yourself or talking to someone in China or doing any research.

Even the CIA, by the way, has stated China has eliminated extreme poverty in the world Factbook.

I get it, a lot of rich white people paid for you to be the way you are; it’s still your fault to remain ignorant.

It’s valuable, it’s not as valuable as the entire rest of the world combined. The US simply doesn’t have the user share to demand the service be sold off.

Please read the output of your LLMs if you’re going to use them, you said:

Well, the American one doesn’t have an incentive to turn its own people against its own government with propaganda. As is happening with Tiktok and pushing pro-CCP and anti-American content.

It’s simply not. It’s allowing Americans to speak freely on America without government interference.

When was the last time the Dems did?

All of that non sequitur is great, but the fact is no foreign country needs to do anything to make Americans hate their government. Nothing. Except provide a platform that allows free speech.

That’s all Tiktok is.

Except homeownership rates, poverty rates, homelessness, illiteracy, class mobility, workers rights, prisoners prisoners per capita…

The US is one of the worst countries given it’s comical amount of wealth, usually coming in at rank 40 or lower by pretty much any stat you choose… Except gross GDP, the number of prisoners, the number of proper capita, the number of slaves working for private corporations, and maternal mortality rates. That’s where the US excels that China simple can’t compete in, arresting people, forcing them to work for profit for companies, and killing women in child birth.

He’s not wrong. There’s a reason all tech billionaires switched to the Republican party when it became clear their dem donations wouldn’t help them any more.

The US is a tiny market compared to the rest of users, why would they ever sell?

You want to know how to turn an American against the US government? Tell them, without exaggeration, what their government is doing to them; and tell them, without exaggeration, what other governments do for their citizens.

It’s that simple. No lies needed. No american with an IQ above a glass of undrinkable tap water likes their government or thinks their country is worth anything.

Well luckily the straw man you’re assigning to China only exists in your head.

They’ve eliminated extreme poverty and are on track to eliminate poverty. Given even the poorest citizens don’t worry about rent or medical bills or food costs, their poverty looks incredibly different to that in the US.
