I really wish media would differentiate between different TikSlops. It‘s like Americans adopted the metric system but what they call meter is just a foot with a new label.

Sooo Social Media platform purchased by facist fuck nut billionaire, Larry Ellison, starts spitting out racist ad images with AI - I really am hoping for Apophis to hit in a couple years

Always include his name. Larry is way to evil and powerful to continue to keep his name so out of the headlines.

I don’t think you understand. Larry Ellison is a Bond villain, but with actual power. Like when he bought a fully armed (and functional) Mig-29 as soon as the Soviet Union collapsed, but the US would not allow him to import it.

A few months back, he was the richest man in the world. He owns TikTok, Oracle, Paramount/CBS, and more.

I understand they say the modified ads are offensive, but it’s still kind of annoying that the article doesn’t include any side-by-side comparisons so we can see how bad it actually is.

Also, after getting blown off by their bullshit “highest internal team,” the developer needs to escalate to their legal department by suing for defamation.
