news
Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also xcancle.org (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

Fuck this piece of shit. Everything is a weapon for that cancer country.
Everything these fuckers touch is turned to absolute braindead dogshit. Like America lol
Also China just letting tiktok be sold is insane.
They may have decided it had become more of a headache than it was worth
It does seem like that. Maybe they expect it to go the way of Myspace post sale. So either let the US hamstring the platform and lose all the value or cash out and leave someone else holding the bag. I do hope post sale it becomes irrelevant. Tbh it's already seeming more and more like Facebook and starting to cater to the same user base. Most lefties or libs seem to be going to bluesky, which is hilarious, because these are the twitter people basically that let twitter turn into X. It's like the cycle continues. Lefty libs get on a platform and right wingers chase them. They leave for a new platform and the cycle resets
TikTok has been under control by the CIA for many years already.
