I don't know if it's all nonsense, but something similar happened when Telegram popped into view and became a superb rival to Whatsapp (superior IMO).
I remember the anti-Telegram campaign claiming it was Putin-run Russian spyware with the CEO of Telegram (a free-speech advocate) only pretending to be a Russian refugee in the Middle East to boost his cred.
I'm actually beyond caring who's spying on me at this point. I just assume that this info can be shared with the highest bidder including non western nation states. There must be so much of this info by now! I have no idea how they store it all. Well... maybe a bit. At least some of it goes through the filters at the NSA data farms in Utah among many others. Maybe they're making clones of us or some sheet. Maybe they'll round us up for stepping over some line online. That would be a huge waste of time and resources but maybe that's where the fear thing does its job and keeps most people behaving.
I'm sure X will implode at some point after Elon has had his fun and he's carted off taking dreams of the everything app with him.
My dad was the scary one growing up. When I overcame the fear of death/fear of my dad (super-strict) I told him about Machiavelli's 'Prince' and he thought it sounded brilliant. The father should be approached with intellect, because that is what he is supposed to represent, even in theological circles (which generally bore me).
So from this one could say the intellect is responsible for the fear of death in that it 'doesn't know', but in understanding death (Eastern doctrines make sense of this) the lesser fears fall by the wayside too.
To bring TikTok in to it, the fear of Chicom seems like smoke and mirrors, but 'TikTok' clearly refers to time, and suggests time is running out.
I propose time'll be 'run out' by 2030-2033, and the cloak&daggers are bog-standard theatre to distract folks. Maybe there'll be a war, but it could also refer to the war in ones head ("meta" the word itself can be interpreted this way) and the shadow of fear in every soul that needs to be resolved.
What's that you say? Follow the money? Surely the truth cannot be as tawdry as that!
Probably one reason Musk is trying to stand up an app. Even for him it had better be different enough to attract users.
I'm on MeWe and think it's dying the slow death. Lately they've been 'tweaking' by removing all the tuff I originally liked. So it goes.
