And guess what? If you’ve ever sold anything on TikTok, Bytedance (and the CCP) has your SSN, asking with a treasure trove of personal info! Byebye, identity!

The technical term is “platform decay”. “Enshittification” is not the term to lead with if you want people not aware to take you seriously.

And this isn’t that.

This is a weird take. That ticker telling you about scores and schedules for a whole bunch of different sports has been on ESPN forever.

Way ahead of you. When trying to persuade, you need to know your audience. I’m going door to door canvassing, and having conversations with voters that have these concerns. Those conversations, meeting people one-on-one with empathy, has a profound effect.

In contrast, here, I was responding to someone who was obviously acting in bad faith. I’m not trying to convince that person, but making sure others observing the conversation don’t feel gaslit and second-guess the reality others are trying to distort.

I’m not as dense as I might appear. However, I do appreciate you calling me out so we can have a conversation like this. It’s important, and it helps us all learn and grow.

Thanks for making it disgustingly obvious how easy it is to cherry-pick statements, excluding the full context, to push forward an agenda.

We all know the situation. But we also have more folds in our grey matter to understand the consequences of the alternatives.

Russian trolls just getting desperate at this point…

Kirkland Signature is Costco’s store brand.

drr drr drr

Fucking Pocket.

Your scenario doesn’t exist. All you had to do to get around this was make a new profile.

Which is not even a big deal because blocked users could just create a separate account to view posts they’re blocked from anyway.

No they aren’t. They are changing how it works, in a way that is mostly immaterial to the user. That is not even close to completely removing.

Less?

Not until now where they’ve been getting bomb threats to SCHOOLS and HOSPITALS.

Got sources that debunk those? I’d like to learn.

This isn’t a helpful answer and comes across as disingenuous. You should provide even just a few.

Ah yes, a single random data point having nothing to do with the original post. You’ve convinced me.

What manufacturer? Name and shame.

CarPlay I can see if there’s an ongoing cost of making sure future Apple updates don’t break compatibility, but it’s very highly unlikely that will ever be an issue.

People won’t switch from driving to cycling over this. They’ll just pick one of the several dozen other car manufacturers.
