#32Ellison’s Murdoch killer flexing its muscles for a mild warmup. They got Paramount and CBS and TikTok, are allied with Twitter, and still have a chance of grabbing Warner. I don’t think American billionaires ever particularly liked Murdoch, an Australian, controlling so much of the media environment in their country. Maybe they’ll make an offer for Fox News that the Murdoch heirs can’t refuse.

#33Happening because TikTok is under US laws. Use https://www.douyin.com/ then. And if they wouldn’t, they would be blocked or prevented of doing business in the US.
US laws, hmm. Wasn't there something about an amendment to their constitution? I believe it might've even been the first? Something about freedom of speech? Maybe I'm just misremembering, but I could've sworn conservatives kept harping on about it.
The Constitution is silent on the matter of the cutting room floor and Ellison lawnmowers.
It only restricts the Federal government (later extended to state governments IIRC?)
This is one of many reasons Federal government is now partnered with private business.

Since when is speaking out against fascism virtue signalling? Like, how bad does it have to get before it's just speaking out against the attrocities happening around us and not virtue signalling? Or are celebrities just flat out not allowed to do it?

Fascism takes hold in stages; Nazi Germany didn't go from 0 to 100 in one day. You have to nip it in the bud before it grows up.
Right now, ICE goes out of their way to beat and arrest protestors and steal their cameras. They're not yet mowing them down but by that time it would be a little late to do something about their conduct. Remember that the current US president admires how the CCP crushed the student protestors in Tiananmen square with tanks and guns.

#37I have a bit of experience with video platforms.
It’s really hard to say which video will work or not. What people react to and what not.
All I’m saying is that this could also potentially be explained by "The Algorithm" per se.

#39This isn't very compelling. It's 2 anecdotes and a pretty damning final paragraph. Is there any more reliable data?
I believe the headline is missing a “mistakenly”. Very strange article given the headline.
