You’re like the old people that yelled about rock music ruining the youth. But for the the internet lmao. What’s it feel like to become that? Is it sad? It seems sad.

Nah. I was wrong to come here though. Lemmy isn’t the next step forward. It’s the retirement site for people that got mad at reddit lmao.

Yet you celebrate when the government illegally passes legislation targeting only one company to the benefit of meta and YouTube lmao. Hypocrit.

Yeah, definitely a boomer in vibes if not in age. Sorry. Everything you said is basically wrong. You’re just repeating what others have said without putting a single bit of effort into confirming anything but your own bias.

Ethical reasons lmao. You all just laughed while our government illegally targeted one company with legislation to get rid of competition for big corporations like meta/google. Don’t pretend to be doing any of this for any kind of moral high ground when you can’t even be bothered to look into something before arguing for it. You’re just useful tools happily guzzling their bs excuse of it being for our security because that’s what you want to believe.

One of the guys that wrote the bill invests heavily in meta and invested even more in March after putting forward the new bill that recently passed to ban it… But I’m sure that’s TOTALLY just a coincidence lmao. Mike McCaul. Not to mention google’s potential benefit for getting rid of a major competitor but they’d never meddle with our government right?

A boomer is someone that’s out of touch and hateful/distrustful of things they don’t understand. It’s a mentality. If you weren’t a boomer you’d know that

I think it’s sad that you’re all just ok with this kind of blatant government overreach to protect corporate pockets tbh. You just go along with the disinformation thing without an ounce of critical thought because you didn’t like the app lol. I guess I just expected better of this community but I was wrong. I think lemmy just got the reddit boomers that are in denial about being boomers. It seems like it’s just an alternative retirement site to facebook for y’all. So have fun with that I guess.

Of course you do. You’re all just the old man yelling at cloud meme and it’s honestly sad.

Nah, pretty sure it’s because so many religious people are just kinda crazy

Of course. But I keep it to myself if it’s not actually hurting me. It seems so senseless to make someone ashamed of something like that.

Lmao. Ok 👍

Are you actually an adult?

I’m not telling you old man

Lmao polls. Ok. We’ll just ignore the fact that the large public outcry the last two hearings stalled the proceedings forcing them to shove it through with another bill I guess.

It’s literally illegal to make legislation targeting a single company. If you don’t see a problem with them breaking their own laws to please their corporate overlords then I don’t know what else I can tell you.

My favorite part about replies like yours is how willing you are to stoop to the same level of China in retaliation. Even if it impacts millions of US citizens. But that doesn’t matter to you because you don’t like or use the app so what do you care right? Not to even mention the people that make a living through it.

What a non-answer. If you can’t hold up your end of the conversation by backing up your own claims then just say that and don’t waste people’s time.

Put a limit on how many single family homes anyone can own. Especially corporations. They should honestly be banned from owning these homes at all. The housing market will adjust naturally without all these shitty big companies scooping up homes and making them inaccessible to buyers.

Individuals should also be limited on how many homes they can own if anything to prevent corporations from exploiting loopholes and having individual people “own” them instead. But also because it’s just morally wrong to hoard property in the first place. I pay more in rent than I would on a mortgage but I can’t afford the down payment for the very few homes that are even available within a reasonable distance from my job. Even if I could so many companies smatch them up over the asking price so people don’t have a chance.

People like me that could financially afford the payments on their own homes are blocked by bullshit that was created solely to keep them perpetually renting. It’s wrong. I shouldn’t have to move to a whole new state or two hours away from my job because the same big company has bought up every house here. Not to mention a bunch of them recently got busted for illegally controlling the rent prices across multiple companies/properties using some kind of third party algorithm.

I don’t think anyone should have to give up their property for free but if we’re paying someone else’s mortgage we should be getting more than a roof over our head.

My favorite part is how they ALL claim it’s so much work and they don’t make any money. Ok? If you don’t profit why do you keep buying property and doing it? Because you DO profit you bunch of lying liars! lmaooooo

Ok. Show me where the propaganda is? Is it hiding in the recipe videos or cat videos or memes on my page that were made by other Americans? This is a bs excuse that way too many of you gobbled up simply because you wanted to believe it. The actual issue here is that millions of Americans aren’t profiting American corporations and they hate that. So the corporations that basically run our country at this point found a way to put a stop to it. Now they’ll try to buy up all of our data, without our consent as usual, under the guise of protecting it for us.

As an American, my own government ignored millions its citizens telling them we don’t want this and quietly banned it by tucking it away inside of other bills. As an American, my own government is using my tax dollars to fund a genocide while declining to feed school kids and protect women’s rights. As an American, I’m disappointed in my fellow Americans’ eagerness to dismiss and defend this extremely unpatriotic act by our government.

Take a look at the buffoons “protecting us” and tell me you still believe they have good intentions and aren’t just fear mongering.

They don’t even know basic geography or how the internet works ffs. Feel free to watch the whole thing. It was long but really eye opening to see just how little the people representing us actually understand about the world we live in.

And he’s said that companies can’t sell property like the TikTok algorithm to other countries. I highly doubt he’ll suddenly have a change of heart now. I honestly hope he doesn’t because the US shouldn’t be making legislation against its own citizens wishes just to fuck with China in the first place.

In what way is taking a platform away from millions of Americans an acceptable way to do that? Yes, our taxes are funding a genocide and instead of listening to the droves of people protesting that they suddenly all get together and magically agree to ban tiktok. They can’t agree to feed school children but still agreed to ban TikTok. The fact that you see it as retaliation is also hilarious because that’s supposed to be illegal and they’re still claiming that’s not why they’re doing it. Even you see through that bullshit on accident

Everything I said was relevant to my point. You linked the wiki to whataboutism and still used it wrong lmaooooo.

Of course you didn’t answer the question. I knew you wouldn’t.
