@rafat @Jason @profgalloway Yeah, not what we should be holding up as an example or moving towards in my personal opinion — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@Jason @profgalloway @finkd I think our problems are much bigger than TikTok and a lot of it’s coming from inside our own house. The focus on TikTok without clear evidence of wrongdoing just makes for a huge and convenient distraction (imo!). But I’m sure this will not be the end of this debate — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@Jason @profgalloway @finkd So u want to ban Chinese companies from doing business in the US? And take all Chinese money out of Silicon Valley? Idk man, I’m glad we live in a globalized world and until there’s clear evidence that TikTok is doing wrong I gotta disagree. Also where’s this energy for FB?! — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@Jason @profgalloway India has a totally different government and tech landscape than we do! I don’t believe we should be emulating India in many ways. I think scapegoating TikTok allows FB and other platforms to avoid addressing their data privacy issues or the ways they continue to cause harm — PolitiTweet.org

@profgalloway @tiktok_us (Also I’m not trying to be a hater, I just get mad about the TikTok stuff because as a reporter who covers this stuff we’re forced to debunk it constantly while ppl in power ignore what I consider far more pressing issues with the tech landscape!) 😅 — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@profgalloway @tiktok_us I’m not “pro” TikTok in any sense of the word, but the app is not controlling kids minds. Many young people hate the U.S. all on their own because of deep systemic inequality and living in a crumbling, broken, hyper capitalist hellscape (as they’d describe it) — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@profgalloway @tiktok_us Instead of stoking moral panic about TikTok destroying democracy or poisoning children’s minds (while Facebook and other US based platforms continue to wreak havoc), let’s talk about the real issues like comprehensive data privacy reform etc. — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@profgalloway @tiktok_us I would love to have a real convo abt this because I think ur TikTok take prevents us from discussing real, broader issues in the tech landscape. Def too much to fit in a tweet, but there’s zero evidence China is pushing propaganda on TT nor is there evidence they’ve sought to — PolitiTweet.org

@SnoozyWeiss No, actually. This piece is disgustingly wrong and inaccurate, it’s riddled with blatant errors and outright lies. It’s ableist drivel that intentionally misleads people to push an agenda. There’s nothing journalistic about this writing. — PolitiTweet.org

@hpmacd @SnoozyWeiss This is a terrible and disgustingly wrong and inaccurate piece. It’s riddled with blatant errors and outright lies. It’s ableist drivel that intentionally misleads people to push an agenda, there’s zero about it that’s “great work” — PolitiTweet.org

@tszzl Ehh just because you have issues with a Tesla and want it to be better doesn’t means you “hate technology.” Good design is invisible and Teslas clearly have design flaws! As many products out there do — PolitiTweet.org

“It’s what happens when young tech guys are flooded with money doled out by old tech guys who see dollar signs in the eyes of people who look and sound like younger versions of themselves. It is clannish and insular; you’re either with them or you aren’t.” https://t.co/670MPkskMi — PolitiTweet.org

She recalls hearing “countless” sexual assault allegations. “If it looks and smells and acts like a fraternity, it’s a fraternity.” https://t.co/670MPkskMi — PolitiTweet.org

“I heard that Launch House has retaliated against a woman who’d been sexually assaulted there in the past,” said the woman who was groped. “So I just decided not to tell anyone.” https://t.co/670MPkskMi — PolitiTweet.org

In an investigation into Launch House, the startup incubator-slash-social club funded by Silicon Valley's biggest VC firm, @rebexxxxa uncovered allegations of misconduct, sexual assault, and serious security risks. Fantastic reporting https://t.co/670MPkskMi — PolitiTweet.org
