I saw this clip yesterday but it's going viral on twitter today.

“Shlomo Kramer” complaining about how he doesn’t control the media enough is actually 3 groypers in a trench coat

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 31 points 1 week ago

I feel bad that I blurted out laughing at this.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 51 points 1 week ago

Oh cool to stop people from promoting hate speech like genocide denial, right? anakin-padme-2

Oh it's about silencing critics of Israel, isn't it? ... anakin-padme-4

Imagine if civil war starts because Americans lost their right to Post.

[–] arcticx@lemmy.ml 31 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Genuinely that may do it. So much of the American ethos is being able to say whatever you want about whatever you want.

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 47 points 1 week ago

unless of course you're speaking out against genocide and ecological collapse

[–] huf@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago

only if they restrict the right to talk about trucks.

This is so bad for the Jews

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 34 points 1 week ago

Only democracy in the middle east huh

[–] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 31 points 1 week ago (2 children)

saying his name feels like a hate crime, how is this real life

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 25 points 1 week ago

"shlomo" sounds like something we'd put in the filter

[–] LeninWeave@hexbear.net 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wait until you hear about Shlomo Vile.

[–] SchillMenaker@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And here you thought Watto was the most antisemitic Star Wars character

[–] Eternal192@anarchist.nexus 30 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's frikkin fascinating how they know they are the bad guys and don't give a shit and constantly going the extra mile.

[–] jackmaoist@hexbear.net 21 points 1 week ago

They've pretty much become invincible after the fall of the USSR. So why even have the good guy act when you can fully indulge in Sadism.

We have to start starting to start starting

JERRY JERRY I FINALLY FIGURED OUT HOW TO GET THOSE PROTESTORS TO SHUT UP

Rage-inducing for sure, but I don't believe it to be "bait". I think the guy in the video is saying his genuine belief.

It is definitely Israel's interest to take control of social media. Benjamin Netanyahu has said social media is Israel's weapon. The ownership of tiktok is being transfered to Larry Ellison, who is Netanyahu's personal friend. Twitter is owned by Musk, who is loyal to Israel. Facebook/Instagram/Meta is loyal to Israel.

Absolutely.

It's no different from those clips of Hillary Clinton from a while ago where she was talking about how it's a problem that people are no longer getting their information on Palestine/Israel from a handful of heavily curated sources. Her implication was obvious, they want to be able to control the narrative again, and this guy is just stating it even more plainly.

[–] dead@hexbear.net 33 points 1 week ago

The Hillary Clinton clip wasn't that long ago, it was less than a month ago. She gave a speech at the Doha Forum in Qatar on December 8, where she said that social media was giving misinformation to young people.

Shlomo Kramer is the co-founder of multiple Israeli tech security companies used internationally: Check Point Software, Imperva, and Cato Networks. He is still the CEO of Cato Networks. The companies sold security software and security services to businesses in the US and elsewhere. The companies monitor the computers and networks of businesses.

If there were ever a moment where it's time to get off of social media and never return it's now. That's so fucking grim.

[–] hellinkilla@hexbear.net 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No cause for smugness. I don't think Lemmy has yet been tested with any attacks.

That we know of.

If even 1% the resources now going into controlling tic tok were directed here, do you think it'd survive?

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Lemmy? No. Hexbear? I feel like we're the unique instance where their typical methods wouldn't work.

[–] LeninWeave@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I feel like we're the unique instance where their typical methods wouldn't work.

Yeah, they would have to innovate a new method, such as making a controversial post about rocks or cats. che-smile

[–] F_State@midwest.social 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Fediverse aside, are there alternatives we can steer people towards for either Video (ala TikTok and YT) or socials?

[–] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago

I think @TankieTanuki@hexbear.net runs tankietube which is a video platform?

[–] SevenSkalls@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago

We need more but hosting video files is so expensive 😭

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago

2A people claim they're protecting the others, so get to it lads.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Lmao i like how his experience is listed as "street cred."

Also if Elon and a ton of other right wing ghouls are free speech absolutists, let's see what they have to say about this. My money is on them totally fucking ignoring it.

i think shlomo kramer should be abandoned at sea

[–] btbt@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

huh idk why hexbear is leaning into anti semetic jokes, we’ve managed to criticize israel without dipping into… WAIT THATS HIS ACTUAL NAME ROFL

[–] LemmyBruceLeeMarvin@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 week ago

"We have a TikTok problem."

I dunno I’ve been thinking about this a lot. Fuck this guy, but we need to address all the corporate media in the US. Maybe get the fairness doctrine back? Funding education and having actual news media would really help.
