Dude, I was there for when Vine was born and for when it died, and Vine didn't even get picked up for mass disinformation, and y'know what? Life moved on. If you think that makes me old and out of touch then fine.
I think it's sad that you're all just ok with this kind of blatant government overreach to protect corporate pockets tbh. You just go along with the disinformation thing without an ounce of critical thought because you didn't like the app lol. I guess I just expected better of this community but I was wrong. I think lemmy just got the reddit boomers that are in denial about being boomers. It seems like it's just an alternative retirement site to facebook for y'all. So have fun with that I guess.
Which corporation's profits do you think banning TikTok is intended to protect?
Also, "boomer" is a specific group of people and applying that term to everyone who doesn't agree with you makes it pretty damn silly and meaningless.
One of the guys that wrote the bill invests heavily in meta and invested even more in March after putting forward the new bill that recently passed to ban it... But I'm sure that's TOTALLY just a coincidence lmao. Mike McCaul. Not to mention google's potential benefit for getting rid of a major competitor but they'd never meddle with our government right?
A boomer is someone that's out of touch and hateful/distrustful of things they don't understand. It's a mentality. If you weren't a boomer you'd know that
If you weren't a fucking fetus maybe you'd be intelligent enough not to offend everyone you interact with.
Oh fuck off ya prick.
