r/technology is suddenly :marseyworried: about TikTok's influence on the youth

https://old.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/xhw53j/tiktoks_search_engine_repeatedly_delivers

Generated by TLDR This:

When a TikTok user searches the social media app for information on top news stories, ranging from Covid-19 vaccines to school shootings, nearly 20% of the videos presented as search results contain misinformation, according to a research report published Wednesday.

For example, a search for the question "Was the 2020 election stolen?"

NewsGuard's report was released amid bipartisan concerns in Washington about the possibility that US user data could find its way to the Chinese government and be used to undermine US interests due to a national security law in that country that compels companies located there to cooperate with data requests.

TikTok does not operate in China, Pappas said, though it does have an office in China.

But this takes it so many levels further."

Fricking Liberals are so disgustingly hypocritical it's absurd, they have less moral character than rodents. Listen you absolute cute twinks you need to pick a side already you intellectually dishonest fricks, is it 1) private company can do whatever it wants or 2) a private company that has taken over the role of the public square and needs to be regulated or 3) a private company that has taken over the role of the public square and needs to be held accountable for any first amendment infringements. just fricking pick something already and stick with it instead of changing your entire political ideology on a case by case basis.

Libtards just refuse to commit to any positions. it's fricking insane. Without question modern liberalism is like the childcare of politics, which makes perfectly sense since I ditched that garbage the moment I turned 21.

To actually understand liberalism, you need to read several books of theory, and probably get a separate degree. Which makes sense, because of course being right isn't easy. Conservatism is the ideology of idiots: if something makes sense after thinking about it for three seconds, it's probably something a conservative believes. The arguments liberals air in public are simplified and distorted versions of the actual reasoning behind their policy. They exist to confuse and befuddle simpleminded conservatives, a task they perform beautifully.

That's just enormous levels of midwit cope, literally reaching "It's not my job too educate you, read marx" levels of cope.

Heres the actual reason why libshits are able to scream "Private company" over and over again when someone like trump is de-platformed but in the same breath DEMAND facebook cleans up "misinformation" or get regulated. It's power before intellectual honesty, that's it. The modern liberal power structure and the midwits you find on reddit will simply do anything for power, that's how their policies are able to 180 within the span of 15 minutes.

Conservatives might be dumb, but liberals are literal serpents and I'd prefer to be around dumb people than serpents.

"free speech" means private companies should regulate speech, not the government. It does NOT mean your average midwit can suddenly understand politics and work out the best tradeoff for some scenario. Private companies should regulate speech well, not poorly, and its up to your intellectual betters to make sure they do that. There's zero hypocrisy here, you've just been delibrately mislead into thinking your voice matters.

in typical libtard fashion the key to this statement is who he views as Intellectual betters, which of course are just your stock standard liberal elites.

So we are just back to square one again which is private companies should only regulate speech liberal elites disagree with and this is precisely why I called you and your pathetic political group the ultimate serpents. You're nowhere near as close to being as intelligent as you think you are, in fact what you're suggesting is simply the oldest trick in the wingcuck book lmfao 1) put people who only agree with me in positions of intellectual power 2) get those people to rule in favor of everything I agree with regardless of intellectual honesty. 3) oh you disagree with my intellectuals blatant hypocrisy??? you just don't get it because you're dumb unlike my intellectuals who I hand selected!!!

But quite literally thank you for proving everything I said in my previous statements about liberals and the fact they only have 1 goal which is total power and control of speech rather than any of their usual deception which typically manifests itself into terms like "misinformation" or "safety online" or "russian propaganda"

The facade is just a simplification of the actual reasoning. The simplication changes depending on the situation, which is what leaves your typical rightoid confused. But its wrong to say that leftoids don't care about your well being; they do care, which is why they need to protect you from yourself.

Thanks for showing how ignorant and hateful you are! I guess that's what happens when you only get your information from right-wing sources that only tell you what you want to hear. It's no wonder you're so misinformed and full of hatred. You're nothing but a serpent yourself, spreading poison and lies. I pity you.

Liberals aren't a monolith, they can have different factions with conflicting positions. The trouble with them is that when they do have greatly conflicting positions, they refuse to battle it out internally until only one faction of leftoids remains and allow those survivors to lead their tribe. So naturally their politics tend to be schizophrenic because the worst fricking extremist r-slurs on their own side are never totally destroyed - instead they waste all their time deplatforming conservatives even though it's provably the extremist Leftoids on their own side who cost them the most votes.

Conservatives don't tend to make this mistake. When there's a major schism within the party, conservatives love to fight it out until there's only one faction remaining because that social darwinism field-tests their ideology and makes it more battle-ready. Our politics are vicious and decisive.
