And what is the evidence for it being a Chinese spying platform? Is it owned by a Chinese company? Is there any hard evidence? Why is it so controversial?

    I mean, that’s exactly what Facebook and YouTube and Twitter do as well just over different things like radicalizing people towards Maga and whatnot.

      Facebook and You tube haven’t been pushing Maga content, they’re just allowing it to exist. The feed itself isn’t set to give it to everyone or hide left-wing content for a default user.

      Twitter is a different story, and should probably also get banned at this point. Elon is absolutely using it to push his own rhetoric.

        Really because I’ve had right wing content recommended all the time on YouTube even though I don’t watch it. I don’t see left wing content recommended outside of what I’m already subscribed to.

          I consistently see both even though I’m subscribed to neither, so… no idea what you’ve taught the algorithm about yourself.
