MODERATORS
It's almost like one is something they agree on and the other isn't!
You see how that's a problem that the government cant agree on making things better for people but can agree on ban something millions enjoy so their donors can have more control over the data of that thing right?
Its not exactly a great example of democracy when we can't raise wages when the price of groceries is rapidly increasing but we can ban apps where kids make 15 second clips of them dancing.
Well when half the population votes against itself that's what you get
Gerrymandering
They don’t care about kids dancing, they care that the platform allows people to be critical of the government and the right-wing rhetoric that is so pervasive in the American platforms doesn’t really exist on TikTok. You could call that due to Chinese influence or due to the community rejecting it but either way, the American government has been moving right for decades and does t like getting called out on it.
On the other hand I get the governments concern that a foreign adversary has access to so much data on American citizens and could have undue influence on American culture by adjusting the algorithms and making their own targeted content that looks benign and natural
No, they're both things they agree on; banning competition of and decreasing labor costs for their campaign donors.
