  • We’re forced to speculate due to a lack of insider knowledge

    You mean you want people to believe unsubstantiated claims that lack evidence?

    but we can use context clues like the fact that other nations are using social media for the same purpose and it originating in China, a fellow world superpower, to reason that they would be using it for similar purposes. Why wouldn’t they be using an effective tool like this? This stuff isn’t being created for altruistic reasons.

    Still don’t see any argument that justifies substituting “could/would” with “is” except vague notion of “we do it, so they’re definitely doing it”












  • I think in this day and age we can stop pretending public relations actually mean anything for the 12 digit club

    I wonder why your mindset is like this.

    At the 12 digit club it’s ALL about image. Why else would Bill Gates try to do stuff with his foundation? Why would Jeff Bezos try to fly to space with fuck you money? Why would Elon Musk enter a slap fight in twitter and end up buying the damn company?

    Elon Musk literally exposed everyone’s grandma’s social security, waved a nazi salute, and turned Twitter into a CSAM generator.

    They backpedaled because backpedaling was the right thing to do, not because of any fake consequences you’re imagining.

    No they backpedalled because they care about their image. For them, any consequence is far preferrable to tarnishing their image or becoming irrelevant.

    Egos control people who have such wealth.

    And they wouldn’t do the right thing if it meant they have to admit they are wrong.
