Whose going to do anything about it?
It's not one government. That it seems naturally emerging, or connected to particular administration in the USA, or something like that, - these are all not important. Only what really happens, which has been constant over many years with all US administrations, UK governments, EU countries' political situations.
It's a very slow and gradual transition, because, well, faster transitions lead to more resistance. It happens all over the "western" world. It happens simultaneously with development of mass-scale autonomous weapons. Both are made more dangerous by having intelligence on any possible adversary on the whole planet. It happens in preparation for WWIII which the "western" world will start. Yes, I'm crazy, discard this all you want.
They’re unsatisfied with just being the gestapo so they’re getting their stasi on next
US: China is using Tiktok to spying us!!11
Also US: Literally spying their citizens.
Now, actually using TikTok to do it too
Now that is what I call winning!
China is gonna set up some shell company and buy the data the USA-TikTok collects. Its all coming together.
Do they have nothing better to-do lol?
of course not
Now they will chase you down for suggesting that they have something better to do.
We need to sanction these fuckers. If you own a business, stop doing business with them. Don’t conduct any kind of transaction with them. Refuse service, tell them to leave your establishment, etc. Stop dating these losers, hanging out with them, etc. If you have one as your neighbor, give them the cold shoulder. These people live among us. Find out who they are and isolate them as much as possible. Don’t invite their kids to birthday parties, kick their kids out of sports leagues, etc. Be calm, polite and firm.
The real Joker wouldn’t have suggested a single one of these.. unless that’s the joke?
Why are we talking about the Joker exactly?
His username is literally Joker? Idk.
Ahh, missed that haha. Thanks.
No advantage to using social media tied to your name or identity.
Be a hermit crab. Start new accounts periodically. Be certain they are not tied to your meat space persona.
It gonna be tough since I always make references to the same movies, tv shows, and anime, its so easy to link my accounts together.
Tor browsers, vpns, no chrome, no google, no gmail.
The anti liberals are getting exactly what they wanted.
