Well one of them is a video streaming and clip app run by a giant tech company that harvest your data for China and the other one is a video streaming and clip app run by a giant tech company that harvest your data for China

That's not what social media means...but lol at you if you don't think someone is harvesting your data from TD without your explicit consent.

How do y'all think "free" platforms like this make money?

You’re so caught up in the semantics of whether or not TD can be classified as social media that you didn’t stop to think that the things people are bitching about don’t apply to TD
I've actually thought about it a lot. The things people bitch about social media absolutely do apply to TD.

This is all pretty known, and Apple even busted them stealing data, yet it is still available in their and google's app store.


Should tell you something.

Wait, I thought Saggy was Emily. If Emily wasn’t Saggy who was? It’s a damn shame that thread got whacked. The first decent thread in weeks with no mention of Coronavirus or race.

TD has an app that has access to all of your personal data and is run by a tech giant that actively monitors and promotes certain content as a form of social engineering while working with foreign governments to undermine the United States?

It's also what Kroger and Target and Amazon do. That doesn't make them "social media".

Except that it's directly responsive to your own definition of social media

Pretty sure LSUMarket440 was Emily. She posted twice on like the 2-3rd page then came back for one post on the 18th-ish page and called out some girl, Heather something, and 30 seconds later the thread got whacked. It'll all come up again in the Official Break Up Thread.
