  • On the post: Our Growing TikTok Moral Panic Still Isn’t Addressing The Actual Problem

    That Anonymous Coward ( profile ), 02 Mar, 2023 @ 09:06am

    The little chickens who claimed that China is coming. They can not articulate an actual problem. Well they could do a,b,c... but offer no evidence this is happening. They can steal all of your personal data!!! Evidence please? The information that can allow anyone on this planet to pretend to be me and get loans, cars etc. has been leaked enough times that I have "credit monitoring" until 3010... what the fsck can TikTok do with knowing what videos I like? Oh they could give you misinformation!! stares at Congress Its just like the flu. It was just like any other tourist visit. The election was stolen. We stand for smaller government! Tax breaks for the ultra wealthy help the economy. Masks can kill you! The vaccine is a bioweapon. I'd keep going but I think the point is so obvious even MTG can get it. Once upon a time the US was a shining beacon to the world of truth, justice, etc... now some of our leaders are claiming we should just let Russia destroy a nation & murder the population because it might cost to much to help defend them. Some how a random app is the biggest problem in a nation where covid is still killing people, the economy is fscked, corporations are posting record profits while citizens are facing higher interest rates to cool the economy... but omg tiktok!! Invited a murderer to read the pledge of allegiance. Tried to use a CCP controlled newspaper as 'evidence' in hearing. Blamed the current POTUS for actions from the Former twice impeached POTUS. They are passing laws to erase people from society, trying to pretend history didn't happen that way, spreading hysteria about "groomers" while ignoring the actual child abusers hiding in the churches, kids have active shooter drills but its covid that harmed their learning. But sure keep screaming about TikTok and trying to pass laws banning certain races of people from certain places from owning property if they are a citizen or not...

    Is it really a breach when their entire security plan was a sign written in comic sans that said no peeking?

    "“The marks SLIM SHADY, SHADY and SHADY LIMITED have become unique and are identified by the general public solely with [Mathers] and his goods and services,” the filing states." Ummm no. And sweet jeebus if they awarded him the mark for just Shady someone needs to be slapped. It's like THE second really stupid mark I've heard of in THE current year.

  • On the post: Yet Another Former Israeli Intelligence Officer Linked To Yet Another Shady Company Offering Hacking Tools

    That Anonymous Coward ( profile ), 27 Feb, 2023 @ 05:21pm

    Could this be part of the reason Congress is flipping out over TikTok? One of the recent lesser covered threads of concern was about them recruiting former intelligence workers & somehow this would magically destroy all of our security. Next question is how long have we employed these companies or do we have our own doing the same underhanded things we call out but are often doing so much worse than?

  • On the post: Getting Kicked Off Social Media For Breaking Its Rules Is Nothing Like Being Sent To A Prison Camp For Retweeting Criticism Of A Dictator

    That Anonymous Coward ( profile ), 27 Feb, 2023 @ 09:47am

    Heh if they passed these laws here the country would stop... So many members of Congress would be in prison. But then these are the same people who feel that being forced to wear a mask is way worse than seeing their child murdered by police. All of these stop the disinformation laws they keep wanting to pass literally would empty the halls of power, they should be careful enough people would enjoy seeing Tucker behind bars and might support it just for that reason.

    So the real question we need to ask... Did the vote change because of a contribution or because of someone playing the 'hates police' & 'you'll be unsafe' card thats been so popular.

    But they need to keep a high population of underage kids to clean the meat processing line, their little hands can clean between the blades without having to take them apart for cleaning like the manual says. Its just a few fingers, we'll blame it on fireworks... Besides as that AK rep recently said that dead kids are a financial boon to the state because they won't need state services.

    1 - Next you'll tell me that Nigerian Price isn't sending me billions. Mastodon is a real place. 2 - Really that was your take away from what I pointed out? I thought I was pointing out how they keep taking positions that make no fscking sense, trying to convince people reality is different from what it is, and expecting people to bow down because they have this great reputation... I might know a thing or 4 about having a reputation & actually having to work to keep it. I'm an evil super hacker according to some people who needed to try to destroy my reputation to discredit me, but the facts say I am not a super hacker & I am well aware that doing stupid shit would shatter my reputation so I avoid the stupid shit & call out the stupid shit. It takes work to keep a reputation, and the NYT has done hugely stupid shit over & over and it might be time to ask why they are allowed to rest on their reputation when they keep destroying it.

  • On the post: Rather Than Making The Internet Safe For Kids, Make Your Kids Safe For The Real World

    That Anonymous Coward ( profile ), 24 Feb, 2023 @ 07:45pm

    You can't teach kids about sex!!! It will make them have more of it!!! Umm okay, how about a program that teaches consent? OMG How Dare You!!! Thats a parents job!! Well watching the Maury Show, parents get an F-. Its the fault of the media!!! Maybe stop pretending you ever turned on the V chip in your tv & take responsibility for what your kids watch?? I'm to busy to do that society should modify itself to appease me!! Are you fucking high? We live in a nation where females aren't allowed to bare their shoulders in mixed sex situations, because it might distract the boys. At no point has anyone ever considered teaching the boys that seeing bare skin & feeling a tingle in your pants doesn't give you the right to touch, that no means no & if you refuse to accept that answer you will be punished. Boys will be boys... no boys will be extras from Lord of the Flies unless you create order, enforce the rules, and punish bad behavior... see also: QI and the mysterious case of why more POC end up dead over cops losing their damn minds. But then we're expecting parents who while enjoying the 4th glass of wine on the crapper believe this post on FB PROVES that Fauci is a reptile alien inserting 5G kill switches into real red blooded humans and the media won't report on it because its a huge secret... Fscking boomers should have taught their kids to not believe everything on the internet... To be blunt... Your crotchfruit, your fucking problem. Stop demanding the entire planet be covered in bubble wrap because you can't find the time to teach your kid that there is no way thats really a famous tiktoker sliding into their DMs asking for nudes.

    I asked on Mastadon why anyone listens to the NYT given their complete failure through history. Stop talking about slavery and it'll be fine. Hitler is a dynamo! Hitler isn't REALLY anti-semetic. https://masto.ai/@That_AC/109898231394998919

    NYT runs yet another Anti-Trans opinion piece and someone ends up murdered... so the correct person to sue is the NYT right? You're making that motorboat sound again.... Banks can sue the maker of the car the robbers drove away in right? Other than the patent office, I have never ever seen such delusion that adding "on the internet" somehow changes things so drastically. Google didn't make the ISIS videos. Google didn't force people to watch them. When they are reported Google removes them. But because Google has lots of money and its "on the internet" so magically it has to be their fault. I mean I would absolutely love to bankrupt the various groups screaming all teh gays are groomers that have lead to property damage & attacks, but the only people responsible are the dipshits who took the actions. About the prior idiot, is this the same FL that is changing the law to say that if you suggest someone is anti-lbgtq+ is defamation, no need for a trial, no need for a court, and they can bankrupt the people who offer up an opinion that DeathSantis hates gay people for profit. "cancellation" - No the dildo of consequences rarely arrives lubed, there isn't some magic button that cancels them... their own actions screw themselves, but its easier to pretend that they are the victim of the all powerful left.... If we had the power to cancel things cancelling some has been actor with a shitty opinion would be way fucking far down the list. But then they have gone back to claiming they were teaching kids how to summon satan at the grammys & witches used magic to make them sick... Something something mental healthcare very lacking...

    Cause nothing ever bad happens when there is no access to these records... stares at the church where a former military man emptied his weapon into innocent people with a weapon his conviction would have barred him from having if only the military had let the information out.
