It's only okay when MY favorite country does it.
  • More like, tiktok is our specific version

    Douyin is what China has. That came first, then the parent company developed tiktok for release outside of china.

  • I mean it's a shitpost, there's no deeper humor here. Just 'wouldn't it be funny if family-friendly Disney-owned Pixar made a comedy movie about something so edgy as real people being crushed to death"

    The EU says X is the worst platform for disinformation | Just as it removes a way to report election misinformation
  • I don't know how you can say that was anti-democratic, though.
    That level of open and direct communication from the sitting president is very democratic. Say what you will about the content of that communication, but Twitter did not act undemocratically by allowing the president to speak freely...
