Comment on Microsoft is reportedly banning Palestinians in the U.S. for life for calling relatives in Gaza

No, it’s standard corp level behavior that’s beholden to government censorship and propaganda when it doesn’t fit the narrative. You can substitute any big tech company in the US for Google. They all do this. It’s why the government is not a fan of TikTok, they don’t have that same level of control over the flow of information.

that and it is quite literally spyware that sends all the consumer data to the CCP where they can adjust their own algorithms to show things that can sway the minds of people too young to think critically

  it is quite literally spyware
  
  So are Facebook and Instagram, which are apparently not a problem. Remember Cambridge Analytica?
  
  where they can adjust their own algorithms to show things that can sway the minds of people too young to think critically
  
  Every social media platform does this for maximum retention
  
  to the CCP
  
  What’s the CCP gonna do with it that’s worse than what Western companies do with it?

  the cpc adjusts the American version of an app operated in Singapore to propagandize Zoomers
  
  This only happens in the minds of the paranoid. China has their own version of TikTok, Douyin, which operates under their media restrictions.

  Ironic. You’re literally commenting on companies adjusting their algorithm to create a narrative and censor something your government doesn’t like.
  
  Think critically next time. You’re not smart as you think you are.

  The hell do you think the data from American companies goes‽ Snowden literally told us the US govt is doing the same thing…not saying they should, just asking where is the outrage that we’re being spied on by our own government… It’s plenty there when we’re being spied on by China… And quite frankly I feel like China can do a lot less to me than home can.
