I’d say Snop dog, but he’s central Florida trash and the beaches aren’t that nice
Honestly biggest thing im taking away from this election is that my roomate is going to be salty for the next 4 years.
He one of them racist ass, hardcore conservative ass, Tim Pool/Alex Jones watching ass niggas.
preemptively slamming twitter so that when his account gets deleted for constantly violating the rules he looks like some truth-telling martyr
EMERGENCY TSUNAMI fire tho
Twitter does have some really shady practices with their trends tbh
It blows my mind that a mostly unregulated private company is in charge of something that is so influential in this day and age
this dumbass retweeted a video from from 3 years ago where the reporters read out a PRO TRUMP script

its pretty clear that youtube, twitter, and facebook (among others) all obviously manipulate their trends manually; it's the most easily testable on YT (videos with 30k views getting #1 on trending over videos w/ like 5M in <5 hours let's say), but it's definitely the case on twitter. Twitter & FB get around certain legislation by mixing in algorithmic tailorship alongside manual action; it's not completely manual, hence why certain people see certain tailored trends, but they definitely have their internal standards for trending; it's more clear when you click on trends and you can see they manually pick out featured tweets in their "top" section for some news articles, which is disingenuous. FB is all over the place. Google does the same thing, they editorialize their searches by deciding how and where sites are indexed, but they get around certain legislature by doing this on top of otherwise algorithmically placed content. The worst part is that no one - legit no one - in congress or any real gov agency has any idea how tech or data works nor has any real industry experience. They don't even know where to begin questioning or writing the laws, no less questioning these companies themselves in a coherent manner.

Yeah, you make a really good point. By the time congress is even capable of identifying the problems and trying to even do anything, the industry will be about 100 steps ahead.
It’s pretty terrifying, honestly. These companies have more reach than traditional media ever had, and they’re running almost completely unchecked. Google could easily swing an election if they wanted to, and there really isn’t any kind of legislation that could even stop them or punish them AFAIK.

it's one of those things which is a bit of an unfortunate paradox because i would rather not have the ultra-capitalist technocracy that silicon valley wants of literally everyone making laws to have a tech/data background (which you would unfortunately need in order to understand their systems) - i also don't wanted random unelected bureaucracy of silicon valley appointed regulators - but at the same time it's also vital that people in congress literally understand what they're regulating and how they work. if you've ever seen the congressional hearings, they're not only abyssmal but theyre embarrassing as the smug tech ceos run loops around congress people. it's incredibly frightening not only how much social/cultural power they have, but also how much bureaucratical governmental/political power they have when you consider their subsidies, gov contracts, positions on transition teams, etc. all done w/o politicians understanding how these companies actually work.
