Spyware garbage, I hope it will be just a fad.
Tiktok surpassed google in most visited websites in the world, it is now the number 1 most visited website in the world
Well, in that case I just pray something bad happens to it.

Yes
Talking about your Clario link, I have a hard time believing Gmail is so “data friendly” though I do not have proof to state otherwise. It has access to all emails (purchases, mailing lists, work, plane tickets etc…). If it were up to me that shit would be way higher up

I sure as shit don’t trust it and put it in the same category of Meta’s spyware bullshit like Facebook and Instagram: Actively avoid!
Good concept with a lot of solid content, but I’ll just stick to watching compilations instead of downloading a CCP spyware app, thank you.
Lmao, on yt, I’m sure. You’ll let the three letter agencies in the US watch you all day long, but you’re afraid of a political party half a world away that is trying to build socialism.
“Trying to build socialism.” As with most professed communist societies, China is currently ruled by an elite class that suppresses the majority of the citizens. Surveillance capitalism is bad and I do try to avoid Google products to the extent reasonable, but the CCP is a much bigger threat to free speech and world peace. If you think they just want to control China (which includes Hong Kong, Taiwan, etc. in their eyes), you’re deluding yourself.
Try reading anything but Western propaganda for like five minutes. Blackshirts and Reds isn’t even about China, but if you read it and actually understood it, I think you’d see your takes on China are as ill informed as the uniformly negative takes of the USSR addressed by Michael Parenti in that book.
It’s not that there’s nothing bad ever happening in China, but you’re 100% just regurgitating propaganda which was spoon-fed to you in grade school and by the mainstream media.
Like, take this for example:
If you think they just want to control China (which includes Hong Kong, Taiwan, etc. in their eyes), you’re deluding yourself.
Firstly, Hong Kong and Taiwan are China, so I don’t know what point you’re making. China was colonized by Western powers and Japan, which led to the complicated material conditions in those special administrative regions.
Secondly, what proof do you have that China wants to control anyone else? If it’s the classic “debt trap diplomacy” claim, I recommend you listen to actual African leaders and intellectuals on the subject. There’s a reason that people are adopting Chinese debt in place of IMF and World Bank debt. China isn’t mandating domestic policy, while the IMF and World Bank are mandating domestic policy. It’s so common as to almost be a guarantee for the IMF and World Bank to force austerity onto borrowing countries.
professed communist societies
No one of consequence has ever professed that any existing or previously existing socialist state had achieved a communist society. I recommend you read about communism if you want to understand it, and if you don’t want to understand it, I honestly have no interest in engaging with you further. Anyone who criticizes something without even tacitly understanding it is not worth my time.
You should be asking questions not making assertions.
