Social media as Spyware

#1 Post by davidy »

When I first heard that they did not ban tiktok but came to an agreement I realized it was simply for the fact the US/CIA were not the ones in control of the actual data itself. That's it! The "that's impossible" youtube channel just posted a video wherein people are not able to go live on tiktok anymore and that it "feels different". Plus tiktok now wants you to link your facebook to tiktok. What I think is that they took the time this weekend to reroute all the tiktok data coming in and out of the US directly through the meta ai servers and this is one reason why live won't work. In any case, when I said attention is about control I was not kidding because ALL social media is simply a control mechanism. They don't want people to do anything they are not aware of and all this data does is give them the realtime ability to head anything OFF using their ai garbage. Pokemon go is another cia mechanism just to see how many idjits would actually use it and they were happily recording everything in realtime and feeding it back to their ai bs as well. I'd puke but it wouldn't be legible.

I've never been on any social media ap ever. I was on twitter once but my very first post regarding obama was not well received and that was that. No free speech for thee. All I can say is if you get a chance get a de-googled smartphone and NEVER logon to google, and NEVER use any social media garbage ap for any reason whatsoever. It's about control and they want to be the ones in control OF you. Good luck. The lemmings are out in droves. The funny part is you can actually find more interesting videos off of tiktok than you can from anywhere else atm (obviously because people felt the freedom to be themselves moreso). Not anymore. It was never about banning anything it was a ruse to reroute ALL the data through meta which btw congress is heavily invested in.
I check the weather with 'oss weather', rcv txt messages with 'silence' for deliveries, and make phone calls on my phone. Rarely do I ever even open a webpage with it and that's only if I want more info quickly on an fdroid ap. I also drive with it turned entirely off as I use a separate device for gps altogether.
It's actually quite disgusting the lengths one has to go to just to try and get some simple privacy.

I posted this because I care about people, unlike the government, and would like more people to be more aware of the shenanigans that take place without our consent or control. Feel free to delete if it upsets anyone.

I can appreciate your frustration, however if you want to get this message across to people, you actually learn how your target audience works and what will help them see things your way. Calling everyone lemmings and idjits etc (as much as I can appreciate your frustration) will not win any allies. Also bombarding people with loads of information all at once like this doesn't help and, to them, you sound like you have misplaced your marbles (even though that may not be the case).
