      Ban drugs. Easy fix.

      It’s fighting the symptoms, not solving the problem. There won’t be any real democracy as long as people cannot avoid manipulation on their own.

        I don’t know why this gets downvoted, this comment has a lot of truth. I don’t agree with people needing to avoid manipulation tho, in the case of AI it is for some people extremely hard. Its also not the problem, its a symptom. The real problem is people trying to gain power and wealth, trough any means neccessary. Democracy and (lightly-regulated-)Capitalism doesn’t go well hand in hand in my opinion.

    The interesting thing is that any pieces only slightly critical of China are immediately censored at Tiktok, but anti-European propaganda isn’t.

    Tiktok has also been spreading Chinese, Russian, and Iranian propaganda to Western audiences for years. It’s really time for a ban.

    Not that I wouldn’t love to see that shit banned all over Europe…

    But “we need to ban populist bullshit desinformation” from a government constantly operating on populist bullshit (see for example: talks about being ready to defend their western border against those aggressive Germans that also refuse to acknowledge the monthly reparation demands) reaks of hypocrisy. In the end it’s basically: “Help, voters we fed idiotic bullshit for years to get their votes are now falling for other populist’s bullshit, too”.
