Oh no! Big tech company bought out my barely functioning, small, energy inefficient AI business! Whatever will I do with these wads of cash!

I am very worried about who they are planning on hiring as “Poll Watchers”.

Oh cool! Now the govt can create data collection regulations and ban TikTok if an investigation shows they are in violation of those laws! Oh yeah, I forgot it is just foreign adversaries potentially collecting US data that is the problem. Thank goodness they are strong arming TikTok into selling itself to a pre-existing media company instead!

Makes sense, kinda like the Battle Royale or fall guys explosion.

Ah yes, the good old, “Leave the disease alone and see what happens” tactic. I wonder if it will just go away this time?

From the article, the data collection hinges on a bot going into a public server then scraping the history. Still a problem that Discord should act on, but it looks like there is no need to worry about private servers.

Sounds like just the kinda company we need to get into the Fediverse!

When news sources start saying shit like, “The economy is great, you kids just need to stop buying stuff and save for a house!” “The war in Gaza…” (seems pretty damn one sided to be a war.) “Biden is trying his best to protect women’s rights!” (We can tell by the lack of action on the various tracking and criminalization of women’s choices in deep red states) People start looking elsewhere for news that reflects the world we live in vs the obvious propaganda we are seeing from major news sources.

USA: In Shareholders We Trust

Agreed, something is 100x better than nothing.

Flint GlockWood!

True, but from what I’ve been seeing about the currently approaching climate crisis, we need to do everything that we can to stop or at least slow it to find more solutions.

Great! Now do private jets.

And the private equities that own hospitals will purchase this anyway.

Comedy is subjective.

US military:

It will kill industries temporarily, until the corpos realize their success came from the artists.

From what it seems, no. This means they have more than enough missiles to sell some, even though they are in the middle of a “war” (genocide). They will also most likely not use the funds for anything good.
