Well this also happens with all (US owned) social media. Their intention is to depress/dehumanize people, a sense of distrust of humanity while promoting the automaton dystopian future.

@@itzajdmting We are living under TechoFeudalism. The illusion of democracy is over when 5 companies (Google, Meta, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft) are more powerful than entire countries (including the US). The have not only the most concentration of money in history, but also the most concentration of knowledge/data. The can not only predict actions of people but also induce new conciousness (in this case: depression, anxiety, fear and numbness, to better manipulate them, creating passive consumers).

The sentence he is saying at 3:10 also works for the US.

Thanks for putting this out there, Tim! Very interesting and informative. We all know the Chinese government (note: not their people) to be brutally oppressive and insidious - that's not new. But it's helpful to learn the specifics about how exactly they go about this manipulation, and what the effects are on western society with something like TikTok.

It’s a Citizen journalist platform, government and city leaders would be shaking in their boots. When something bad happens, tiktok is the fastest way to make something horrible or good known from all angles.

If we freak out on Tik Tok can we then show similar scrutiny to Zuck and company including this plat?

Agree. Nice to hear an informative piece that touches on a number of concerning issues. Powerful (and subtle) food for thought of what isn’t shown at the front but what goes on behind the scenes. Sadly some comments I’d say are due to the impact of what had been shared & a number of individuals are more easily persuaded (opposed to digging to find the actual truth). A thank you to Tim for this angle. Wondering if this same type of angle could be taken across all platforms (Meta to even Snap and X, for example), and see if there are similarities or where they differ - to ones that are the most genuine. Also, it’s interesting topic to explore censorship of explicit content where some are doing a better job that others, and others not censoring etc. Many layers but definitely takes someone game enough & informed enough to help better educate those who are interested in these dynamics.

@@DrAshleyMBerge Thanks for your reply, it's nice to know I'm not alone in my commentary! The overarching issue for me is how effective a tool social media platforms are for distraction on the whole. (Could go into the McLuhan angle of how screen lit devices are a medium of "change" in themselves, but I won't for now!). Your point re Meta, Snap & X or generally any platform is really valid. If you go on to consider that many people are using multiple platforms, the "cross pollination" of chaos is boggling no? Especially when there are generational skews in usage, experience and skill to discern information from misinformation. Censorship again is a wild topic and as with media in general, has huge ramifications. It's all part of our evolution now and we're not very well equipped to manage.I like the term 'social depth' brought up in the full episode. It's an interesting one on macro and micro scales when considering how to foster agency over our own minds and actions both separate and together. Right, I'm off into nature now for a walk, thank dog! 🙂

and they don't need all the data to know us, better than we know ourselves. This is evil. Privacy is vital to democracy and liberty, and human rights. We are in serious trouble. As they begin with the censorship and compelled speech. Tyranny. What this nation was founded to for. not this corporatized greed and tyranny.

btw welcome Finland and Sweden to NATO. Bad ass people to have on your side. Study their history. Especially what they endured in the past World Wars.They helped win WWII big time. Finlands border with Russia history. Hope to visit one day.

As far as I can tell this entire video is just an appeal to authority. That tends to happen every time tik tok is brought up.

This guy speaks in a freakishly similar way to Dan Carlin of Hardcore History

To quote Jay: "We don't believe you, you need more people".

1:10 the look on Tim’s face when he cuts a fart during a recorded interview 😂

'anti-semitic?' nah man. Not true.

India banned TikTok in 2020. A step that other countries should follow.

The tiktok ninja is after this guy

I don't believe it. I watch TikTok daily and always get served up what I tend to watch... Personal development, marketing best practices, and methods to use AI for writing. I never see anything pro China, anti Isreal, or divisive.

Ask yourself, why is the Chinese version of TikTok in China so different. In China, they amplify technology, science, achievement, educational achievement. Not only that, in China, it also has a scroll time limit of 15 seconds between video for everyone under 15 years old. Lastly, all social media gets shutdown after 22PM. Shutdown, justvwrap your had around that one. Now ask yourself, why would they make these differences

@@evolutionXXVII I don't believe grocery stores are dangerous because one of the items they sell, ice creme, which is fine for most people, might be misused by some tiny percent of its customers.
