StrangersInTheNight posted:absolutely, there's a bunch of political reasons to hold them at arms-length which are more complex, I'm being reductive to point out they've never actually done anything to us and so there's also a hefty dose of propaganda in there, which can be seen in this thread with the 'business interests' chat No, dude. We did not 'make' them a rival. A lot of the source of this tension comes China's direct actions. Politically, the west isn't forcing them to support lovely regimes. Socially, the west isn't forcing them to implement draconian social programs, or conduct massive 're-education' efforts in camps. Economically, the west isn't forcing them to put Spyware that phones home to the CCP on literally every piece of hardware and software they release. Xi is a loving crazy sociopath, and while there is definitely some level of propaganda in the west at times, it's not like it needs a lot of help.

I know about all of that poo poo. But those are all things they're doing to their own people that are being used as justification for us to not like them politically, when its funny that we're kinda ok with that poo poo elsewhere I know full well about their Russian alliances and their lovely policies with their people, I'm not a tankie China stan, but cmon, banning TikTok is in no way related to that. Xi is absolutely a sociopath but again, threatening to ban TikTok in no way resists those social policies or even reflects on them.

F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:Stupid as gently caress. Brace yourself for something that sound like conspiracy nonsense: Tik toc is a Chinese weapon, there are a LOT of actual qualified experts saying there’s a very nefarious reason the Chinese government is pushing an app on the west that’s disruptive to the mental health and ability to learn/focus and concentrate of this generations youth. There are already massive gulfs in education and life quality between users and non users of tik toc. To paraphrase one researcher “compare the current generation of western children (using Tik toc) to the Chinese children not using it (because China does not allow its youth to use it) and extrapolate this two generations down the line”.

well, considering they released it upon their own people first, would be really dumb. kids having limited access to douyin is a newer thing. Teenage mode, limiting those 14 or under to 40 mins a day, only appeared in 2021.

I had and have dyspraxia and children dancing fills me with irrational, nearly violent jealousy. Fun fact: they only give you sympathy at school if you use a wheelchair or scooter, not if you involuntarily walk like a drunk, then they just call you the r-word, which they don’t call the actual r-worded students for some reason, also they didn’t get in trouble for calling you that in the 90’s. Dancing is an act of total loving HUBRIS. It’s why God punished Hank Hill and why God will nuke TikTok from His throne in Hell.

tik tok is cool and fun but like libs of tik tok and poo poo like that needs to be policied but thats not why they want to ban it infact if tik tok was us based and libs of tik tok was banned the chuds would be up in arms as per usual about chuds being silenced. also kinda sad to see what i assume are mostly millenials and younger gen x hating on gen z's go to website to post funny clips for t heir friends.

On the one hand, yeah, cool. On the other, the Zoomers will never forgive us and, in a few decades, will destroy the American way of life as an intentional and carefully planned revenge. IMO, win-win.

StrangersInTheNight posted:the conspiracy theory posted specifically suggests that China somehow protected their children from Tiktok to make them smarter than Americans and take us down “China's version of TikTok offers a child-friendly version, with educational videos and a time limit, that isn't offered in the U.S” This isn’t a conspiracy, China makes huge efforts to prevent tictok use in its territory. The people qualified to state this have done so. Ask yourself this: “why so I trust researchers and experts that the covid vaccine is safe, but don’t thrust researchers and experts that tiktoc is exactly what they say?”

Bro that child version came out in 2021 as a response to how social media is loving up kids, it's only been two years. Not enough time for this grand generational sea change being suggested in the conspiracy theory. Also we've made enough apps to destroy our own minds already, TikTok is just capitalizing on what we already did to ourselves. TikTok is bad for brains but not because it was designed in a lab to attack American children, but because it's a social media app that hijacks our brains reward system. It's known for having the best algorithm in terms of narrowing down content that is hyper-targeted to the user so it plugs directly into some of our worst instincts in terms of distraction. It is this way to sell advertising. StrangersInTheNight fucked around with this message at 08:46 on Mar 17, 2023 |
