So people on the internet can get mad that you didn’t vote how they wanted instead of getting mad at you for not voting.

That’s great. Nothing has changed about Facebook so nothing is stopping them from banning it now for the same reason as TikTok. The only reason they wouldn’t is if they had a motivation that had nothing to do with protecting elections from foreign influence.

Foresight? We’re talking about the present and the recent past dude are you okay or do you just argue in weird slogans?

I am for severely restricting the ability for all corporations to gather and sell user data. You think I’m making a whattaboutism or whatever debate buzzword you want to conjure up; what I’m taking issue with is the argument that the reason they’re getting banned has anything to do with that data collection or “national security”. If that had any truth to it, Facebook would have gotten the same treatment, or at the very least would be in the conversation now since they do the same exact shit. If this was about data collection they would pass regulations about that instead of targeting one specific site to unilaterally ban.

Their justification for banning Tiktok is that it allows the Chinese government to collect on their platform. It's the same fucking thing.

Did occurring in 2015 happen to make it less bad somehow? We sure as hell weren't passing laws to ban facebook back then either, so I'm not sure what point you think you've made.

Facebook sold personal data to a foreign organization called Cambridge Analytica who used it to influence our elections. If their motivations are to protect us via protecting themselves, why is Facebook not banned, and not even in the discussion of being banned?

I see a lot of people build her exalted for fire rate but I think the alt fire build is way more fun and strong.

Well they also love bullying the homeless; gets the cops something to do that isn’t murdering people over petty crimes and racism. Doesn’t get the public as riled up either, since most are already well practiced in ignoring the unhoused.

If they want people to keep shopping there and providing the income necessary to maintain that charitable work, they should probably try to maintain the perception that they price things cheaply enough to make it worth digging through racks of second hand goods.

Through various stages of my life I have used torrents, streaming, Usenet, Napster, limewire, aol/IRC chat rooms, discord, and even google searches. You must adapt to whatever works.

Yeah that all seems pretty common sense. The problem is the people who make the decisions about this stuff pretty much only read headlines, if they don’t get this shit fed to them second hand from some sycophant who also only read the headline. When it reaches their ears what they’ll hear is “increase pizza parties 20% and create a rewards system that lets you buy cheap plastic baubles with good boy coupons.”
