Too much #veganjunkfood nowadays. There was a time when to be vegan you had to use whole foods, What you ended up with was healthy and ethical towards the human animals you fed. You weren't killing your kids. #veganfood #junkfood #CorporateIrresponsibility

When the focus is on making money by addicting people to the app, of course, it becomes destructive! We have to stop reinforcing the idea that being rich is the greatest good and the definition of true success. This capitalistic free-for-all, will be the death of us! Look at climate change! Look at how social media was used to undermine democracy, inflame social division and even promote genocide. We can't let the "free market" cost us everything!

"Vulnerable users are bombarded by images promoting self-harm, suicide, and eating disorders, according to the Center for Countering Digital Hate

If they aren’t careful—or potentially even if they are—TikTok’s youngest users could find themselves bombarded with dangerous video content within minutes of joining the platform, a new study claims.

The report, released Wednesday evening by the nonprofit Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), aims to decrypt TikTok’s algorithm by using accounts that posed as 13-year-old girls, among the platform’s most at-risk users. Every 39 seconds, TikTok served the harmful content to the “standard” fake accounts created as controls. But the group also created “vulnerable” fake accounts—ones that indicated a desire to lose weight. CCDH says this group was exposed to harmful content every 27 seconds."
