Disgusting nazi fucks use the dumbest propaganda and people fall for it. How the hell is that reality?

To quote George Carlin:

"Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that"

Ban drugs. Easy fix.

It's fighting the symptoms, not solving the problem. There won't be any real democracy as long as people cannot avoid manipulation on their own.

I don't know why this gets downvoted, this comment has a lot of truth. I don't agree with people needing to avoid manipulation tho, in the case of AI it is for some people extremely hard. Its also not the problem, its a symptom. The real problem is people trying to gain power and wealth, trough any means neccessary. Democracy and (lightly-regulated-)Capitalism doesn't go well hand in hand in my opinion.

Just fine TikTok. EU wide. If it costs them more than it makes, they stop.

Ban the propaganda platform. Do not let the cancer fester any further.

The interesting thing is that any pieces only slightly critical of China are immediately censored at Tiktok, but anti-European propaganda isn't.

Tiktok has also been spreading Chinese, Russian, and Iranian propaganda to Western audiences for years. It's really time for a ban.

Idk, Polexit doesn't have as nice a ring to it as Brexit...

Maybe because Polish people wouldn't use an English name?

It’s probably called Eukurwa in polish.

Shit, I shouldn't give them ideas

As someone that knows absolutely nothing about the Polish language, i find it fascinating that "wypiEUrdalaj" isn't a cat walking across a keyboard...

idk, it sounds more polite?

(OK I'll show myself out)

Not that I wouldn't love to see that shit banned all over Europe...

But "we need to ban populist bullshit desinformation" from a government constantly operating on populist bullshit (see for example: talks about being ready to defend their western border against those aggressive Germans that also refuse to acknowledge the monthly reparation demands) reaks of hypocrisy. In the end it's basically: "Help, voters we fed idiotic bullshit for years to get their votes are now falling for other populist's bullshit, too".
