●● IRC: #boycottnovell @ Techrights IRC Network: Thursday, January 26, 2023 ●● ● Jan 26 [01:18] techrigthssec The Nation's article *also*, like almost all, fail to address the purpose and [01:18] techrigthssec origins of ByteDance and instead try to downplay TikTok's role as a harmful [01:18] techrigthssec disservice inflicting damage and disinformation on a generation. The Nation [01:18] techrigthssec mistakes it for "entertainment" with maybe a side of "politics" rather than [01:18] techrigthssec addressing it head on as a disinformation service run by a propaganda and [01:18] techrigthssec disinformation company on behalf of a hostile political entity. [01:18] techrigthssec So far only 60-Minutes has covered it and their coverage has been roundly [01:18] techrigthssec ignored [01:18] techrigthssec https://www.cbsnews.com/video/tiktok-in-china-versus-the-united-states-60-minutes/ [01:18] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.cbsnews.com | TikTok in China versus the United States | 60 Minutes - CBS News [01:18] techrigthssec It's also a healt matter since it aims to and succeeds in harming social and\ [01:18] techrigthssec mental development along with often causing lasting physical damage through [01:18] techrigthssec "challenges" [01:25] techrigthssec The damage from "challenges" is often pysical. The social and mental harm comes [01:25] techrigthssec from the rest of the disservice and is part of the design. [01:26] schestowitz-TR even non-useds are affected, by "peer" [01:26] schestowitz-TR btw, I saw people doing reisky things to get "likes" in FB [01:26] schestowitz-TR like taking high-powered "smart" phones to the spa bath [01:26] schestowitz-TR youtube causes or gives incentive for some peopole to be antisocial [01:26] schestowitz-TR it's more "interesting" [01:29] techrigthssec Yep [01:29] schestowitz-TR bad services encourage people or reward people for bad things [01:29] schestowitz-TR good services would do the opposite and moreover pounish/catch bad people [01:34] techrigthssec The version that ByteDance provides to the CCP is 180 degrees different from [01:34] techrigthssec the attack they are making on the rest of the world. [01:34] techrigthssec These tools could manipulated people into constructive behaviors insted of [01:34] techrigthssec destructive and self-destructive. [01:34] techrigthssec https://middleearthnj.org/2023/01/23/how-to-prevent-teens-from-destroying-property/ [01:34] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-middleearthnj.org | How to Prevent Teens from Destroying Property | Middle Earth [01:34] techrigthssec https://panthercreeknews.com/823/features/devious-licks-2021-trend/ [01:34] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-panthercreeknews.com | Devious Licks, 2021 Trend Panther Creek News [01:41] techrigthssec However, the manipulation is in and of itself bad regardless. [01:41] techrigthssec The platform is designed for and focuses on manipulation through addiction. [01:41] techrigthssec That is in itself harmful. Thus the domestic version of ByteDance's tiktok [01:41] techrigthssec limits access to 40 minutes per day per kid and only shows educational videos. [01:41] techrigthssec instead of the destruction of self and society perpetrated on the foreign [01:41] techrigthssec audience. [01:41] techrigthssec By the way, when should the gallery hierarchy on tm-old start doing a [01:41] techrigthssec redirection https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/308 to [01:41] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-developer.mozilla.org | 308 Permanent Redirect - HTTP | MDN [01:41] techrigthssec the gallery at tm-new? [01:41] techrigthssec Or is 301 more appropriate than 308? [01:41] schestowitz-TR I am going to study the differences after daily links and the sirius installment (deadline 2:40am) [01:42] techrigthssec The rewrite engine can replace the hostname and leave the URL more or less [01:42] techrigthssec the same, as one option. [01:42] techrigthssec ok ● Jan 26 [03:02] schestowitz > Thank you Roy. That was so beautifully written. Had us all in tears.

[14:31] techrigthssec Twitter serves an addiction not a need, unless you count the need of large [14:31] techrigthssec governments and the occasional multinational corporation to warp opinions and [14:31] techrigthssec steer discourse.
