    “No way to prevent this” - says only industry where this regularly happens.

      I’m not a fan of TikTok but like, what exactly do you mean? Like online platforms requiring user registration are the only services where online user records are leaked?

      You’ll need to venture out of the microsocopic Lemmy echo chamber to find them.

      My mom, like 90% of people, is very tech illiterate. She spends hours mindlessly scrolling through Tik Tok with her phone speaker on max. Lemmy users are basically the complete opposite.

        My dad does the same but with facebook. Often looping the same shit with shittier laugh tracks. Pretty annoying.

        For me it’s because this smug attitude of “people still use it” is ignorant to reality and that ignorance serious consequences if you’re politically minded.

        Where ever there is popular social media site, there are accounts on the left are trying to convince everyone to abandon it.

        At the same time people on the left are frustrated how the whole world seems to love Trump and right wing messaging.

        It’s almost like there’s botted accounts that exist to convince people on the left to abandon the town square in order to give room to right wing voices while the people who left the town square also complain how their opinions are not magically shared by others.
