The US wants to ban TikTok, because they know that social network algorithms can be abused to prioritize content in a way that manipulates the public discourse.
That is fair. But what about how algorithms on American social media can be used to manipulate the public discourse in the EU?
Have you seen any EU politicians demanding algorithmic transparency from US social media available in the EU? Or can Elon Musk freely promote the far right in Europe algorithmicly, with no pushback from Europe?

Agree about #algorithm #bias from #TickTok and a #quote or two here...
===============
IS IT ALL THE SAME?
===============
🔴 If #TickTok vs. #Facebook #Meta, #Twitter #X, #Instagram, #Bluesky #YouTube #Google are all the same types of #bias then it seems like a lot of #hypocrisy / #hypocrisies happening.
⬇️ Sounds like these similar types of phrases below ...
(please correct / add ➕ your version )
🔴 " It's not #terrorism when we do it "
🔴 " If other countries do the same we do, it's called terrorism
- we are Freedom fighters so it's different..."
🔴 Other "#Freedom fighters" are terrorists. Only space for our version of Freedom / #Capitalism / #Capitalist Monopoly only.
🔴 " Only we get to do the #fuckery and #enshitification because that's also a #monopoly we want to control! "
I might be confusing a #Government with #Company here in this post - but also that seems like a 'company' of sorts with it's own similar #algo pattern (as #army company or #financial company helping provide it with #tax) - so it's hard to separate these kinds of competitive and territorial entities, one setup within the other.
#Government #Governments
#Company #Companies
#Taxes ➡️ #War or other 'smaller' #Oppression / #Depression

So these sort of #quotes and arguments from same people [ #Zuckerberg #Musk #Trump #Bezos etc] have demonstrated their full alignment with what seem always about the same #monopolistic #power, #territorial #aggression, #spy / #spying #control, #growth using other people's #resources etc... to make their country and " #SiliconValley " seem great...
