"The Office of the State Attorney has charged Peterson as an adult for firing a gun into a home, a second-degree felony, as well as two misdemeanor counts of possession of a firearm by a minor."

#US legal system at it's finest. The only place you can be an adult and a minor at the same time! 😜

TikTok rap beef may be to blame in 'targeted' Pensacola shooting

Pensacola police arrested 18-year-old Charm Fails for attempted premeditated murder for a shooting about a TikTok argument.

^{, Pensacola News Journal (Pensacola News Journal)}

The old headline of the article said it all:
"As #Meta removes #privacy controls, #TikTok explains why it never had any"

No idea why they changed it 🤔
-Guess even big #News have to suck up to the algorithms ✅

Your Instagram DMs are no longer encrypted: Meta is reversing course on privacy and removing end-to-end encryption from Instagra

Two of the world's most powerful platforms are making a deliberate bet that safety beats privacy—and experts say they're right.

Kids & young adults around me are heavily affected by #TikTok use & they themselves are even telling me about their #addiction.

It's time we did something to fight back!

Let's raise awareness, promote alternatives & get people to healthier communities like the #Fediverse :)

Honestly I don't even know where to start, just speechless.

This is just sooo bad 😡

#TikTok and #Meta = pure evil:

"maximizes profits at the expense of their audience's wellbeing"

"told us that it's because the stock price is down"

"maintain a strong relationship" with political figures to avoid threats of regulation or bans"

"advice to parents with children using TikTok is: "Delete it, keep them as far away as possible from the app for as long as possible"

TikTok and Meta risked safety to win algorithm arms race, whistleblowers say

Companies allowed more harmful content on user’s feeds, knowing their algorithms ran on outrage, BBC hears.

above reads “TikTok significantly reduces the reach of AfD politician Maximilian Krah”.
I thank TikTok for restricting EU Nazis.

urgent:
Hereby I do notify you again and publicly that MEP Krah uses his secure EU infrastructure for organising and managing events which are directly against EU fundamental values and the German Constitution.
ENOUGH!

Verstoß gegen Plattformregeln: TikTok drosselt Reichweite von AfD-Politiker Maximilian Krah deutlich

Maximilian Krah hat über TikTok zeitweise ein Millionenpublikum erreicht. Weil der AfD-Spitzenkandidat für die Europawahl unter anderem gegen Flüchtlinge gehetzt haben soll, zieht das Unternehmen Konsequenzen.
