they can adjust their own algorithms to show things that can sway the minds of people too young to think critically
Ironic. You’re literally commenting on companies adjusting their algorithm to create a narrative and censor something your government doesn’t like.
Think critically next time. You’re not smart as you think you are.
We help our allies and protect democracy in the region.
LMAO. Your military protects interests of the billionaires and their economy. It has fuck all to do about democracy.
But keep guzzling whatever you already are, those braincells aren’t going to repeat propaganda by itself.
Hahaha. First of all this is old
wow what an attitude. everything will get old, so you’re fine with your sides atrocities cuz they’re “old” but it’s just not acceptable with others. Hahaha, suddenly a saint of peace, eh?
It more seems like you’ll be fine by no matter what your side does, and will have deflections lined up with propaganda but are gonna have a meltdown when it’s the other side doing what you fuckers do without consequences.
Attitude like yours is why there’ll never be peace.
Ya but it was us doing it, so it’s perfectly fine. Now that others are doing it, it’s bad.
Code Red! Code Red!
There’s a reason most of the regular posters on reddit and (probably lemmy too? it isn’t hard to automate these things) are likely run by marketing agencies. Post relevant posts 90% of the time, comment occasionally, and then sneak in a post or ad disguised as an article rest of the time.
All run by virtual assistant in some third world countries for that human touch.
better, lmao. They’re switching to apple because they want their staff to be obedient little guinea pigs that that won’t tinker with their phones but are tracked and monitored just the same like all Apple users.
So better for surveillance, of course they are. That’s why they’re still allowed to operate and bend over to every request by authoritarian nations. But you do you.
ya, it’s all totally real and none of it is faked for marketing purposes to get more attention to their account at all… nope
Some people really do believe everything on the internet.
This generation.
points vaguely at everything
I’m not dead yet, AFAIK.
Why is it when Israel is trying to eradicate Hamas, thousands of innocent Palestinians are dead? Seems like they planned it just like the song encourages it, doesn’t it?
but keep your head up yours.
No matter how often wannabes try to point out that companies are “independent” of the government, and time and time again events like this prove that US and its crony companies are one in the same, in bed with each other.
It’s hilarious how much targeted propaganda they swallow from these “independent” big tech companies. It’s working as intended.
Every youtube reviewer’s goal is to be popular enough to be a paid shill. It’s money they’re after, not your praises.
And Apple marketing invests a lot in their image in internet discussions. There are lot of shills and a lot of sock-puppets that prop them up. Every marketing company does but go to any popular Apple posts on reddit, hackernews, or Twitter, they just have same pattern.
Why this isn’t obvious is just idk.
There wouldn’t be so much anti-china propaganda, if the popular companies didn’t do so much shit behind people’s back to drown out the good things coming out of China.
I mean China is becoming a economic powerhouse, just make your companies not be backdoors until your influence and trust increase without competition. But nooooo, they have to do every worse thing other big tech companies do, but at a script-kiddie level.
By comparison Meta and Google merely take advantage of user ignorance and apathy by making opting out frustrating - but still technically doable.
This is simply just not true. Meta used an adversary-in-the-middle attack to decrypt Snapchat and other competitors traffic. Facebook, Apple, Twitter and Google have been intercepting traffic since before https/sandbox/anti-virus were the norm. Do you think they didn’t do anything malicious?
Install any Google app on Windows and it will install a task schedule and a always online background service to “check for updates” and downloads and runs their executable without any user consent. I wonder why no body had a problem with that. hmm…
Google runs it own operating system so they could technically do anything they so fucking please. You think Chinese Android variants are using exploits or just scooping data wholesale, because it can. But you think Google and Apple aren’t?
It’s showing your prejudice, bias and concern trolling more than anything.

I seek more FLOSS/FOSS stuff where I can
Oh yes, the open source enthusiast that does fuck all but seek out the most competitive softwares for free and adds nothing but constant moaning and complaining.
You’re doing open-source a great service.
Then prosecute him for that. But the US doesn’t care about activists, does it? Why do you think US is after him specifically?
What about, what about, what about?
Post the actual proof rather than a link to a wikipedia article.
You do BETTER.
Regurtitating the same talking points your government uses for people that reveal its atrocities are “bots” no matter how you spin it. There are tankie bots and you are a wankie bot.
Tell us more about how revealing war crimes and global surveillance are traitors, bot.
Social media monitoring and marketing is a big business. There are tools that alert agencies to any critical posts for their brand/celebrity/product/keyword so they can defend or at the very least deflect any criticism with sock-puppet accounts. These accounts seem like normal individuals with lots of history but are either accounts sold to these agencies or home-grown to seem “organic”.
Looking from outside people think karma and posts/comments count mean nothing but accounts with good standing, posts, comments has a big market in black hat marketing sites.
There’s been a lot of vote brigading last couple of months on anything critical or showing the real “history” of the US.
A lot of snowflakes coming on board.
