Putting politics aside, Twitter's app is purportedly very clean compared to TikTok. Just type in "tiktok spyware" in your search engine of choice and see what comes up. There's plenty of mainstream articles about how TikTok aggressively spies on and fingerprints the user.

Facebook and Google aggressively track users. Couldn't this just be a monetization strategy?

> Twitter == "Democratic Party USA"

You mean to argue Twitter that revised it's rules specifically to justify not taking action for Donald Trump’s flagrant, serial violations of the then-current rules is an organ of the Democratic Party?

Yeah, no.

An opportunist that sticks it's thumb in the wind and leans where the political momentum appears to be at the moment while deliberately maximizing engagement by courting and accelerating controversy, sure. A party organ of the Democratic Party? Not even close.

I was an elected 2008 Hillary Clinton DNC delegate and have ran numerous campaigns for the Democrats. I also work in tech. Twitter supports Democrats.

This is a legitimate comparison.

If you study the trending tweets, those that tend to easily trend favor Democrat issues, ideas and movements. Comments on object news articles promote Democratic comments over conservative commenters.

Looking deeper, if you study campaign contributions by the staff of Twitter, its at North Korean levels (95% Democratic Party vs 5% All others) of popular support.

How is this level of political support different than TikTok's support for the CCP?

How are the design patterns different?

Would be more accurate as if true {}

Depends on the language.

It was referring to the evaluated statement, not the syntax.

Damn, you write code for a living?

If I made a comment like that Dang would have words with me. How does this move the conversations forward? I made a comparison with the political platform of two popular social media platforms. What do you think in regards to this issue?

Just write it out normally, the code added nothing to the conversation either.

Eh... strikes me more as the Democrats shifted the Overton window far left. Twitter's only bias is in favor of dollars.

I don't agree Jack Dorsey thinks this way. I believe Facebook is bias towards dollars, Jack strikes me as an ideologue and someone that really believes in his personal impact
