How about we sue AND ban
Comment on India Banned TikTok, It Didn’t Go Well

I think we need to separate “social media” from “giant corporation social media”. News groups were “social media”. Bulletin boards are as well. It’s clear the damage being done is from Meta, TikTok, etc. so maybe instead of banning, everybody sue them for damages. And taxes. Hit them where it hurts, the pocketbook.

I call Facebook/Instagram/TikTok/LinkedIn and all that garbage “parasocial media” to separate it from forums and stuff. They are just grotesque places of self-representation, or rather conjuring up an image of oneself that soothes cognitive dissonance. A dreamworld with little social aspects other than that you may browse others’ fake self-image and feel-good escapism escapades.

Parasocial Media, good name for it.
