| Douyin, Douyin, Douyin, Douyin, I'm begging of you please let me login. Douyin, Douyin, Douyin, Douyin, Even though I'm not a Chinese citizen. Your algorithm's like TLC, the cable channel, how it used to be, serving education, not cheap junk vids. Just months until Tiktok gets banned. There'll be now more Bytedance in this land. To save yourself, just please think of the kids. As someone who grew up in the edutainment 90s, I'm starting to think that there might actually have been something to the CTA et al. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulations_on_children%27s_te... ) It seems as if the regulations have just been weakened over the years, and they're of course nonexistent with streaming and cable. Maybe that should change. Tiktok is just one of the starker examples of a company that COULD be using its algorithmic power for good and choosing to use it for greed, the well-being of users be damned. |
