Just like seemingly every major player in tech, Elon, Zuck, Bezos, Gates et al, they know all they need do to avoid any semblance of regulation or ill favor is suck up to the wannabe fascist with no actual beliefs or principles. Just an ego too fragile to take a joke at the correspondents dinner.

And now TikTok is sucking up to Trump in front of the entire country, most of which are addicted to their product thats being threatened. The doing away with the BIPARTISAN law feels so obvious and inevitable at this point it’s a joke.

It’s the same problem with immigration or the economy. As much as we might believe in anti-corruption or basic human rights, we will give it all up for even the possibility of maintaining the gerontocracy and a semblance of power. God forbid we try and convince anyone or make hard choices.

Biden and the Dems, seemingly having given up on this whole democracy thing, fumbled this so massively it just reenforces we have no ability to actually govern. If it’s unpopular, we’re going to give up entirely on even trying to make a case for it, even if we believe it’s the right thing to do.

This doesn’t even get into the privacy implications of a nearly ubiquitous app having access to your location data and an insanely accurate profile of all your likes and desires.

Of course the USA shouldn’t let a foreign power operate like this! We shouldn’t let Meta or X operate like this either!
This was so obvious it was passed with overwhelming bipartisan approval. It was originally proposed in an executive order signed by Trump!

People get addicted to the small doses of dopamine, another pull at the slot machine. The algorithms can then be biased to push opinions in any direction.
Devoid of any sort of fact checking (thanks Zuck and Elon!) you can just lie enough and eventually people will start to think it’s real.

1. Meta’s policy bans allegations of mental illness *unless* the person is LGBTQ, in which case you can falsely say the person is mentally ill:
(The policy uses the word “transgenderism,” echoing right wing terminology.)
