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 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.

01:41 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
03:02 schestowitz; > Thank you Roy. That was so beautifully written. Had us all in tears. My
03:02 schestowitz; > father mentioned you all the time as he had a great affection for you too.
03:02 schestowitz; Thank you. That means a LOT to me.
03:05 schestowitz; > Wow. That is so kind and an incredible tribute that brought me to tears. Thank you
03:05 schestowitz; >
03:05 schestowitz; > I will share this with the rest of the family and his friends
03:05 schestowitz; I still have over a hundred photos of you and your family. I browsed some with my wife yesterday.
03:05 schestowitz; You may not know this, but we spoke a lot about family stuff.
03:05 schestowitz; Thanks for passing the word; I wish I could write something better (he deserved better), but it was too difficult for me emotionally and so I had to take breaks.
03:10 schestowitz; > Hey,
03:10 schestowitz; >
03:11 schestowitz; > Everything is OK? I entered today and yesterday and there is no one in
03:11 schestowitz; > the chat.
03:11 schestowitz; Yes, I was asleep at the time. I saw when I woke up that you had come to Mumble. I usually sleep 5pm-11pm, so try another time frame.
03:11 schestowitz; Is everything else OK? I know this email address of yours is not private, so let's chat in Mumble.

14:31 techrigthssec; Truthout mistook twitter for a commons and, worse, for a communications medium.
14:31 techrigthssec; It ignores the filtering, shadowbanning, hidden sorting, hidden boosting and
14:31 techrigthssec; down ranking, and other mischief which shows it is a means of manipulation and
14:31 techrigthssec; not of communication.
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.
14:44 schestowitz-TR; "Some folks I follow still seem to be active on Twitter, but it seems like a lot of the microblogging activity has just stopped altogether. This might just be the circles I travel in, but Im wondering if the impact will be a lot like Google Reader and RSS." https://dissociatedpress.net/2023/01/25/how-have-your-social-media-habits-changed-since-the-twitter-takeover/
