Why Do Young Americans Support Hamas? Look at TikTok.
https://www.thefp.com/p/tik-tok-young-a ... ike-gallag
According to a Harvard/Harris poll, 51 percent of Americans ages 18–24 believe Hamas was justified in its brutal terrorist attacks on innocent Israeli citizens on October 7.
How did we reach a point where a majority of young Americans hold such a morally bankrupt view of the world? Where many young Americans were rooting for terrorists who had kidnapped American citizens—and against a key American ally?
The short answer is, increasingly, via social media and predominantly TikTok.
We know of TikTok’s predatory nature because the app has several versions. In China, there is a safely sanitized version called Douyin. That version, using much of the same technology, shows kids science experiments and other educational content, and its use is limited to forty minutes per day. Here in America, the application’s algorithm is exquisitely tuned to prioritize polarizing outrage and addictive, brain-numbing nonsense (at best) and dangerous propaganda (at worst). Put differently, ByteDance and the CCP have decided that China’s children get spinach, and America’s get digital fentanyl.

Re: Social media
So dumb. Twitter/X doesn't work on Xbox or Playstation any more because Musk decided to start charging exorbitant fees for devices like these to connect to their API, which neither console is willing to pay. Bye bye, free traffic and usage from lots of game players.

This sounds just great, where do I sign up?? I thought evil Bill Gates vaccines were what put microchips into your brain??
Re: Social media
IBM suspends advertising on Twitter/X because Musk tweeted antisemitic comments.
Re: Social media
Is Musk going to sue IBM now? Isn’t that his usual go-to move when someone expresses discomfort with his antisemitic behavior?

Re: Social media
You show ‘em, Elon! They can’t get away with framing you as an antisemite just because you constantly say and do antisemitic things!
This is the kind of “thermonuclear” weapon that detonates in its launch silo.

Re: Social media
He's not arguing the fact that he's an antisemite. He wants the free speech to talk about it without consequence. And that's the key. He has all the free speech in the world. Doesn't mean others can't respond however they want.

Re: Social media
He’s going sue companies for not advertising with X? Good luck with that.

Re: Social media
No, he’s going to sue Media Matters for convincing them not to.
If this actually makes it to trial, it will be hilariously humiliating for Musk.

Re: Social media
I enjoy that Mr. Free Speech Absolutist Elon has a fat cry and tries to sue anybody who criticizes him. What a hypocrite.
Re: Social media
Lol, from the Twitter/X lawsuit against Media Matters:

Chris Christy has a better chance of winning the Presidency than Musks lawsuit being successful imo.

Re: Social media
I think it’s safe to say that the target audience for this lawsuit is not the court.
Either that, or Musk is a complete fucking moron.

I just see another spoiled rich man child lashing out when publicly embarrassed. How did that big cage fight go? Oh yeah, it didn’t happen.
