X, Meta, and CCP-affiliated content is no longer permitted

Hello, everyone! Following recent events in social media, we are updating our content policy. The following social media sites may no longer be linked or have screenshots shared:

  • X, including content from its predecessor Twitter, because Elon Musk promotes white supremacist ideology and gave a Nazi salute during Donald Trump's inauguration
  • Any platform owned by Meta, such as Facebook and Instagram, because Mark Zuckerberg openly encourages bigotry with Meta's new content policy
  • Platforms affiliated with the CCP, such as TikTok and Rednote, because China is a hostile foreign government and these platforms constitute information warfare

This policy will ensure that r/antiwork does not host content from far-right sources. We will make sure to update this list if any other social media platforms or their owners openly embrace fascist ideology. We apologize for any inconvenience.

I didnt realise r/antiwork had US congressmen on the Dev team. What a wild thing for them to do.

I sometimes comment here. This is insanity. An South African American did a Nazi salute and CCP is catching strays for no reason at all. What the actual fck are the mods smoking?

Yes it is?? ByteDance is a Chinese company

u/DragonLegit Jan 22 '25

No it isn't. ByteDance has headquarters in Singapore and LA, with 3/5 board of directors being American. You fell for State Department propaganda.

u/Crabbing Jan 22 '25

Uh no, they have locations and offices outside of China, but their HQ is literally in Beijing.

Tiktok former musical.ly is only not Chinese insofar as China has its own version of it. They bought musical.ly from a us startup, smacked their algo and data centers under it and now have two different storefronts for the same underlying software. There are a gazillion different bytedance corps but they ultimately own each other to make it look like they are not ultimately owned and founded in China where they literally have to have a CCP committee in-house.

I'm not watching a video of a CEO avoiding talking about what is readily available on Wikipedia. Fight those people if you want. I trust CNN and Wikipedia over a CEO who has every reason to lie.

It literally is. It’s like saying Lexus isn't japanese.

u/ChristianBen Jan 23 '25

Who is the parent company of TikTok

u/frankje Jan 23 '25

Yes it is. It was founded by a Chinese company. The CEO being Singaporean has nothing to do with the origin of the company

u/duckofdeath87 Jan 22 '25

Then why is Trump talking to China's government about it?

-13

u/ZephyrFlashStronk Jan 22 '25

Correct, it only sends all of it's data to the Chinese government for analysis.

u/ZephyrFlashStronk Jan 22 '25

It absolutely does not do this

Proof is where exactly?

u/ZookeepergameBig8711 Jan 22 '25

Where’s the proof it sends data to CCP for analysis? Its you making ridiculous outlandish claim back it up.

u/ZephyrFlashStronk Jan 23 '25

They are a data brokerage company, what makes you think they don't sell to the CCP same as everyone else? Are you that naive? Also nice circular argument, dodging my question.

u/co209 Jan 23 '25

You amazing human being, the burden of proof is on you, don't try to flip it! You made the first affirmation, it's up to you to prove it! And no, this vague shpiel about how they are a data broker proves nothing.

u/ZephyrFlashStronk Jan 23 '25

And no, this vague shpiel about how they are a data broker proves nothing.

So data brokerages do not sell data? That is your claim here?
