Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Ok, can you protect Americans from domestic adversaries tho?
No. Meta will harvest the minds of the youth unimpeded.
My brother in christ TikTok is literally run by old NATO ghouls.
It's amazing how fixated they are on it.
They wanna take away my tictacs cuz that's where I get exposed to anti-Israel vidyas.
Seriously, the Tiktok algorithm is fucking goated. I get two things: Pro-Palestine stuff (that makes me sad and angry cuz its about genocide and attrocities) followed by stand up comedy (that makes me laugh, allowing me to keep scrolling).
Working hard to not infuriate young people!

Unless you have Pentagon secrets saved on your phone or something, what difference is spying from China ever going to make? I'm far more worried about spying by agencies in my own or allied countries, as in those cases the information is infinitely more likely to be used against me.
