So you were aware of this and didn't do anything about it until now? Why?

"our cracker of choice is better at being trump than trump himself" isn't the own libs think it is

so, the obvious reasons amerikkka wants tiktok gone aside, we've got

• internet-enabled doorbell cameras in our neighborhoods, provided by a corporation with a long track record of privacy scandals and abuse
• a corporation (for whom many employers expect you to use their platform) that has openly experimented on its users, facilitated a genocide, and rats out victims of this country's oppression to the authorities

and i'm actually supposed to be worried about fucking tiktok of all things? i don't have to install tiktok; it's certainly a hell of a lot easier to avoid than the above, and that shit barely scratches the surface. americans fall into a xenophobic panic over being spied on by gasp foreigners, all the while a techno-dystopia is being openly built all around us.

only when the last palestinian has been murdered, after all the denial, downplaying, and inaction toward this genocide we've seen from these sick fucks, will they employ that performative compassion they do with every injustice, and pretend as though they're deeply appalled by the tragedy they caused. not with a hint of introspection and accountability of course; they'd rather have a republican victory than truly compromise with us because then they can shift the blame from themselves to maga, and to leftists as well for supposedly letting trump win and continue to carry out the genocide that they themselves were going to keep doing anyway

when they inevitably bring out the crocodile tears, we should never let them forget how they acted during all of this
