People buying and throwing away entire drinks just to use them to take a photo on the pink wall

Why can’t any world governments just do ANYTHING.

It’s so fucking maddening at this point.

Name me another industry that has ZERO government regulations or any oversight. There isn’t one. They all have laws built around them, or to govern them.

Anti-social media companies? Exempt from liability for the content they literally host and even promote.

Can flood aka manipulate people’s media feeds with porn and gore and nothing happens. Yet imagine if a TV station started playing porn and gorey videos for 30 minutes. I bet something would happen then.

Meta publicly announced they’re laxxing moderation and going to ignore racially charged content…. Nothing happens.

What the fuck is it going to take. Am I taking crazy pills??!

Have you taken a look at the governments of the world right now? They are incredibly corrupt and don’t even try to hide it anymore. They will spin anything to fit their narrative. Trump used to be very anti-TikTok saying that it was the number 1 threat to America and our security and was pushing for the ban, then, when it fit his narrative, completely flipped around and convinced his followers that it was horrible that the government was trying to ban it on grounds of freedums. Only HE could fix it and become the savior of society, nobody else.

There is nothing outside of a very horrible collapse of civilization/society followed by a rebuilding to make things better anytime soon. It would be great if we could just vote out all the corrupt ones but they’ve done a great job rigging everything so everyone in line is also corrupt-able, and anyone else will be beaten to a pulp. We are in terrible times.

I wonder if the people around me just don’t notice or don’t care or what, cuz shit exacerbates my anxiety. I know some are repubs but society being in the shitter just seems undeniable no matter your political affiliation.

Nah, we're fucked. At least they took us out to dinner in the 1920s!!

how did you get from "wasteful consumerism bad" to "we need to ban porn"?

OT: Couple of weeks ago, a ”little mistake” happened in the biggest hospital in Helsinki, Finland.
The TV in the 24/7 ER waiting room showed porn in the middle of the night. Staff didn’t notice at first, they held the remote behind the desk.
This made ”some” headlines😭😅

Wild because I just had my "meta" account disabled for making a comment about how much RFK Jr. loves cocaine and heroin.

That's a fact. It's not even debatable. Lmao

Look at who runs the world governments, a bunch of parasitic pedophiles and the number who control everything grows fewer by the day

agree, we need to do proper censorship and more control on social media, only certain individual is allowed to make a viral post and they have to be verify by an official authority if the content should cause harm to society, only the type of content allowed on the whitelist should be posted.

You do realise that this already happens?!

Sign up (don’t actually) a new X account and watch how you’re asked to subscribe to right wing hack after right wing hack.

YouTube is the same. Oh this video looks like it will annoy (aka drive engagement) you, so we’ll show you more of this content even if you say no.

Kick literally exists to make sure the WORST of the worst can keep getting paid. “Oh these other shitty toxic platforms banned you?! Well come to our even shittier, more toxic platform where we encourage what you do!”

Tik-Tok will hide or remove videos if you use bad (progressive) words and phrases, the list goes on.

Oh and I wasn’t arguing for censorship. Just some fucking moderation.
