    Ladies and gentlemen! Line up to see conservative influences turn against free enterprise if it means that businesses are allowed to deny service to shitbags, and then twist and contort themselves to support it once again when a bakery refuses to make a cake for a gay wedding!

    Hey look, it’s a miracle. A sack of shit has started to speak!

    Oh…wait…it’s just Andrew Tate, my mistake.

    Why has nobody cleaned that thing off the surface of the Earth yet?

      Lol, only if he were a lot poorer and a lot less white. That mother fucker launched a UK political party, acquired citizenship to Vanuatu, and rubbed elbows with the American Right in Florida. All within 2025 year to date.

    May they pay for their crimes they have committed and may they end up with incurable hemorrhoids the size of grapefruits.

    As someone who used tiktok when he was a meme with the French song, it was a blatant action done against him. They (shadow) banned all the tiktok accounts making edits of him, they modified search results to put the official new sources relating to him at the top, hiding the user-generated content. Note, they did the same thing during the California wildfires to show only verified account videos to hide misinformation.

    I think Tate is a grifter, but we really shouldn’t let governments or big tech companies to artificially hide content because someone is a controversial figure.

    You currently cannot search ‘hitler’ on tiktok at all. It’s all a slippery slope that led to age verification, chat control, etc.

      So get off of those platforms. Stop giving them that power.

      There isn’t going to be some heroic government that will come in and make Silicon Valley and other assorted media owning billionaires suddenly behave like careful stewards of online discourse.

      Nothing that they’re doing is illegal, you read the TOS, right? They have no incentive to change. Stoking outrage drives engagement and keeps the money rolling in.

      It won’t affect them in any meaningful way. They can just move away if they accidentally tear a society apart.

        I go where the relevant content is. I clearly don’t mind using alternative social media like Lemmy, but tiktok has great creators and indie music that I wouldn’t be exposed to anywhere else.

        I use multiple social networks to prevent bias with adblockers to limit how much money they make.

          Sometimes doing the right thing means making sacrifices.

          I’d rather miss out on some content than support these systems that give a handful of rich narcissists control over all news and discourse in the western world.

      True. That guy is so censored, I read news every two weeks about him, with his words quoted. Must suck to be censored like that 😢

      And for no reason too.

      He did absolutely nothing to deserve it. A totally innocent dude who has definitely never committed any crimes ever.
