Im sorry I hurt your feelings at some point in the Zuckerberg thread. But how long do you plan to continue being obsessed and following around a poster on surlyhorns you know only by a lowercase name I picked 15 years ago?
The Democrats should have looked after the interests of the 7.3 million Americans that rely on tiktok to make a living instead of holding hands with the GOP and getting their pants pulled down. It didn't take a genius to see where this was going
AOC voted against the ban. Rest of the party should listen to her more often.
Might be time to start mentally preparing

It would have to be in the cloak room, so no.
Final thing I'll say is even if Trump brings it back, I'm not interested in Trump Tok. Im out, I won't be using. But millions of Americans will. Seems kinda dumb to hand over control of the third most powerful propaganda tool humanity has ever created to Donald Trump. But we can thank the Dems for that.
I've been a Democrat my whole life, but I can't stop feeling like we are intentionally playing
Tik tok is gone. In a few weeks there wont be anything to discuss.
Zuckerberg gets to wear this. They can profess his innocence all they want but the perception of him among millions and millions of Americans has gone from Rich Dork to What The Fuck? Fuck That Fucking Piece Of Shit.
Its part of his story and his image. And Zuckerberg isn't going anywhere so this thread isn't going anywhere. I know people are too busy listening to 55 minute Mark Zuckerberg deep cuts to be able to scroll past the tiktok discussion that has carried this thread for the past week. But fret not, it'll be over soon
I can't hold any headspace for someone as completely uninteresting as Mark Zuckerberg. He's the soulless embodiment of a corporation in human form. Nothing we learn about him is contradictory to that assessment.
At least Musk, despite and in many cases because of his flaws, is interesting.
I just watched a video on X of two Amazon warehouse workers fighting, allegedly over a work wife. Fight ends with one dude getting stabbed in the chest and falling over and dying on camera. Right outside the guard shack. It looks like the deceased was waiting outside the metal detector area for the killer to come out and got stabbed with his own knife
I wont post the video but its not hard to find. I wish I hadn't watched it and I'm gonna lay down now
The next big social media platform won't come from any of the legacy tech giants IMO. MBAs know how to make money but they can't figure out how to entertain.
It's like the old casinos where you were having so much fun all night you didn't care if you went home broke. Then they shifted to trying to seperate you from as much of your money as quickly as possible. It works but eventually you're gonna stop coming back.
I'm also curious how exactly people define "social media" Is it the personal aspect of it, attaching your name and image to the content you put online? How is that really different from message boards besides the pictures and fake names?
All the youngsters I interact with mention Discord and I dont really understand what's going on there. So Im gonna put my chips behind that being the next big thing
How is Zuckerberg even currently newsworthy if not for the tiktok ban? Because he went on Rogan trying to butch things up?
The tiktok ban was the top story on Cobert but doesn't even have a thread here. You have made over a dozen posts arguing with me despite admitting that you dont even disagree with me. Now you write a 1000 word essay about how off topic a story about social media is in a thread about a social media douche (who at the very minimum stands to gain more than anyone from the tiktok ban)
