It’s already a propaganda mill.
You mean the propaganda mill is being bought for another group’s propaganda machine.
Musk (formerly richest man in the world) bought Twitter
Ellison (current richest man in the world) buys TikTok.
Both of these fascists see the value of controlling social media.
And unlike Musk who at least had a period of “liberal darling because he shut his fucking mouth and probably had a pr team” Ellison has always been widely characterized as an abusive, controlling, tantrum throwing piece of shit
Love rewarding the worst of humanity
Lol wut. Musk was never a liberal. Just some dumb neolibs celebrated him.
Yes exactly, thus “liberal darling”
What people don’t seem to get is that these platforms don’t have any secret sauce. Tiktok could be cloned by a team of students in a few weeks.
The platform isn’t actually valuable. It’s the user base.
Hosting video is hard. You’d need a large team of sysadmins, and they would make a lot of mistakes before it was stable.
The platform is valuable. But, yes, everyone knows the most valuable asset is the userbase.
i cant think of many tech companies with a worse reputation than larry ellison’s oracle. this is not goi g to end well.
Those who know are laughing cause they know it won’t end well.
I can’t wait for 100% of all media to be Reich wing bullshit and hear them all still decry the MSM “liberal media” …
All media will be right wingers and they’ll still act like they’re practically non existent among a sea of “leftist media.”
It already been a propaganda mill
Sure a Chinese one now it is an American one. And I think the American one well be worse.
