Trudeau government bans TikTok from operating in Canada

If you're wondering how bad the situation is regarding young men perception of reality, take a look at genz reddit and at the hottest post of SubredditDrama (the one that talks about genz reddit). On one hand, we should do something at a societal level to prevent young guys go into the red pill rabbit hole. On the other hand, TikTok being banned is a big deal, and I can't say whether it will pay off or not, but sure as hell I hope it does

Edit

On a second read (it's been a long day) they're closing offices but not banning the app, my comment is worthless. But feel free to check out the genz subreddit and get appalled but what's being said there

An interesting perception of Reddit is to analyze how many subreddits/threads contain hate/anger inducing topics or replies, and of how many accounts with 1m+ karma post inconsequential or random information constantly and consistently get thousands of upvotes per post.

I always try to keep a neutral understanding of topics, and I find that once my research involves exploring what others have found on reddit, it becomes weirdly easy to get sucked into addictive pits fueled by emotion. Certainly unfortunate since the name Reddit as a name translates to "read it", suggesting idea sharing of some sort.

I try to limit addictive features by disabling things like thumbnails, recommendations, or some cookies, but Reddit is the only social media platform where I've seriously considering just blocking it entirely.

People like you who think others should be banned from accessing information that might cause them to develop certain political views are a big part of why so many people are being radicalised. That's the reason Joe Rogan gave for endorsing Trump for US president, that Kamala Harris had explicitly threatened to censor social media.

I was talking more about preventing they get into those rabbit holes, such as Idk, emotional education at school or something like that, I don't know what could work. But anyway, do you know who's the guy that has banned some accounts on his platform just because and that doesn't ban accounts spewing huge lies? It's not kamala, it's musk

I use reddit mainly for the same 5 niche subreddits I visit often
