Yeah, your tech is now under the control of Donald Trump. That’s the issue.

    When I was 11, on 17th Nov 1989, in Czechoslovakia, my father was watching the evening news on our (black and white) TV, as usual.

    There was a protest and the state media was reporting on it. When the reporter said, "our camera broke down and we can only show black and white pictures", my father IMMEDIATELY jumped up and angrily said, "that's bs, you don't want to show how they [the protesting students] got beaten up [by the police]!"

    This was an interesting life lesson. So yeah, sure, technical difficulties..

    Let's now test the inertia of tiktok users. I know a lot who feel like they're the bastion of the resistance against fascism and love to call x users fascists. Now tiktok has turned fascist as well. Let's see if they will get out from there in substantial numbers

    I've even noticed some of my anti-ICE Instagram stories will not publish.

    I was going to suggest using pro-ICE rhetoric dripping with over the top sarcasm, but there are too many sufficiently smart pro-ICE people who'd see through it and too many anti-ICE who might have trouble discerning it. And then there's the issue of getting the tone right in a stressful and dangerous situation.

    It's almost as if they had a dinner with all the big owners of all these stalkerware businesses to ensure allegiance to the new king beforehand.
