Facebook etc are inadequately regulated but they are still regulated and regulatable.
Some random chat program registered in Mozambique by a resident of Belarus at the behest of an investor in Syracuse is a whole different sort of beast.
CW: very racist rhetoric
This is from yesterday, popped up on my feed, a post by my friend's brother. Inadequately regulated is putting it lightly. I reported it over 24 hours ago and yet it persists. Not pictured: half a dozen posts re: climate change. Spoilers: he believes climate change is real, but it's the brown people's fault for emissions as if the global north doesn't subcontract their manufacturing to the global south.
I did say "the devil you know vs the devil you don't". The random chat program registered in Mozambique by a resident of Belarus at the behest of an investor in Syracuse may be worse, but allowing impressionable children to be bombarded by the above isn't any better.
Idk, hopefully the kids find a Hexbear instead of finding a Stormfront. I might be unusually optimistic about the whole thing, but leaving reddit, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube might not be an entirely bad situation.
May the trans kids find a better online space than reddit and discord. May the insecure kids find a better online space than instagram and youtube. They deserve a space but the poisoned well of American for-profit social media conglomerates shouldn't be it.
