On Bisan's Internet

Palestinians doing victory signs inside a Red Cross bus. A woman on a red sweater, a young girl man standing behind her. The bus driver in his seat.

“Breaking: Israel has started releasing 9@ Palestinian prisoners, all women or minors, as part of the Gaza ceasefire deal with Hamas.” The photo is of Hamas fighters wielding guns triumphantly, a batch of kids making the same angry gestures in front of them, a violent photo much different than the actual released hostages.

The actual released Palestinian hostages versus the photo the Associated Press attached to their headline.

This is what “Zionist media” means.

Oh thank God I get to bully you on here too.

SELL OUTS! GET A PLATFORM A SINGLE ONE, GIVE A 💩 AND STOP BEING ABSOLUTE LOSERS

Biden committed genocide. Going to repost this until it sinks in.

Cringe NYTimes editorial aside, it’s worth noting that the Associated Press style book - the definitive guide for journalism and news writing in American English - has explicitly recommended against using the word “junkie” like this since 2020.

Water resources have been severely compromised, with around 60,000 cubic metres of untreated sewage and wastewater flowing daily into the Mediterranean Sea. Gaza’s drinking water system, already insufficient before the war, with 90-95% of groundwater undrinkable, is now in a further critical state.

I think this is the show they want to give us, but ALSO because they want us to think this is just about TikTok and not all tech

I think it’s actually really important to make sure that bad actors cannot manipulate us using our data. The problem with the TikTok ban is didn’t address the fundamental data security issues at play here. They could’ve developed policy around data privacy and manipulation. 1/

I'm not shocked a company would do this. I'm more on edge about Newsom saying he'll comply with raising the flag tomorrow because Trump is upset it's half mast for Carter still.
And the increasing ICE raids happening, DURING evacs, in southern California after Newsom said we will remain a sanctuary.

ICE is planning immigration raids starting Tuesday. Please amplify.

Culturework confirmed the app is not in the app store. So no new downloads are possible 👀

Uber exec stalked and harassed a journalist for exposing them too, then wanted dirt dug up on every critic in their early years and look at Uber now.

But again it's the law that is the issue, it's not about a single app.

I follow them! They are legit 😄
Also you're back on the app?! 😃

Someone said no new users can download the app though, can someone confirm?? 👀

tolerant interpretation of it it.

That corp barely if ever got fined by the US govt and all of its competitors got fined yearly if I’m being nice lol

However,this could totally be for the dramatics too!

Still think this ban is silly and the folks who started it and upheld the ruling is wrong

Everyone thinks tiktok is on its brat vibes but I get the concern

I worked with conservative (not politically but otherwise) corps that want to make sure they follow every rule possible and would take the strict interpretation of a law/regulation/statement instead of the more…

I agree! I think the operative phrasing is "in agreement with service providers" because they were the ones that were going to get the huge fines per user, and why would tiktok want to leave them high and dry if there's any possibility of making future apps?

Y'all before you dive deep in a nothing burger, the precedent this law sets is still extremely alarming. And if there were a billionaire choot playing right in our faces...there's no more quiet part anymore 👀

If you've never been on TikTok before then you've never seen how pliable the algorithm is. I could zip myself to any corner with a search & couple interactions.
Did they promote content via that tactic for sure. But I was able to move away from it pretty easily.
It's better at suppression honestly🥴

Mine just came back online but I still feel suspicious 😭

Part 2.
The ban is also about *any* app/website/tech/etc that is deemed to be held by a "foreign advisory," not just TikTok.

This is exactly why we are crumbling over this. We are going to lose our human to human contact and exposure. Other apps are brand to consumer.
So unless 🍊 opts to leave it alone, which I don't think will happen, then it's a matter of how much danger are we in under his regime? (Not to be dramatic)

Gaza children return home only to be killed by Israel after ceasefire delay Strikes killed 19 Palestinians during the three hours Israel refused to enforce the truce over issues with the captives' list

No because the point was the algorithm was unique on TikTok.
1. If ByteDance keeps the algorithm (which China says is their IP) then TikTok becomes another Instagram (boo).
2. If ByteDance sells the algorithm then we are in more danger than originally thought because why the sudden team up 😬

This is the GOP’s long con on full display.

Screenshot image from the No Thanks app. Pop up window says "Netflix is in No Thanks! boycott list."

Netflix thought continuing to associating themselves with genocide was exciting news. 🥴
Not BDS official but adding it to my list anyway of things to tell everyone about. (Cancelled my membership in Oct 23')
