Glad to see you’re culturally educated by knowing the greatest comedian intellect this world has ever known RIP George Carlin

It’s worth noting that the CEO’s of the major US social media companies don’t let their kids use them. They know what they’re doing is evil, they just don’t care.

Great discussion— and sorry for any TikToks I may have sent you! 🙂 PS and by the way, who the hell scratched open the chair? Must have been a new girlfriend because those kitties would never do that.

Damn Luis, you actually changed my mind! TL;DW – creating a legal framework to restrict a free and open internet is bad, but the government being able to ban any individual company or service without doing the same to others involved in the same behavior is worse.

I’m not a tech guy but I love your takes on stuff in general. We’re in a state of collapse and if there was a way out we wouldn’t know we’re in a state of collapse. The train has no brakes. Still, keep on keepin on brother!

Strong Patriot Act vibes. I loathe tiktok and will quite literally never be compelled to use it by any force in heaven, earth or hell. But I’m incredibly wary of this “camel nose in the tent door” style of over-legislation.

I love it how Louis’s channel got from “how to fix computers” to “how to fix society and humanity in tech area”. There are a few technophilosophical people I know. All of them are unique. I am happy that the we have the Louis Rossmann.

Yeah, you’re right that we’ve normalised being spied on. Even as a kid I kind of knew about it with Google and similar services, but ignore it anyways. After all, what option did I have?

But even in an ideal world where spying wasn’t normal/accepted, the problem is TikTok is too addictive that people just won’t stop using it on their own, even if verbally told to stop, which is why I feel *some kind of* intervention is needed by authorities. Its like drugs. Some of them are illegal, some of them are legal but have requirements (Eg age on cigarettes) and some of them are legal with no strings attached.

I don’t really like the restrict act for the reasons you mentioned, it does overreach. The kind of legal framework you mentioned as an alternative would be great, but I don’t see it happening…

It’s so true to JUST ban TikTok. Somebody can come up with TikTok 2.0. But I’m glad you are listening to others so that we can really figure out what to do.

This is what I like about you LR: it’s okay to change your mind after great exchange of ideas and facts. It’s the ones that even with great facts and ideas, they are bought out to take the money versus do what is right.

I think I’m mostly surprised that you actually had a positive conversation on Reddit. I need to schedule that snowball fight in Hell I’ve always wanted to have.

I have avoided most social media things, I used to have 1-2 social media profiles in the past a long time ago but deleted them a long time ago. Even with them I didn’t post private stuff or anything just mainly some funny pics or chatted with some friends at most. I knew to avoid tik tok as soon as it came out cause it was just like instagram or twitter which I also avoided for how bad they were. Tik Tok is worse in my opinion cause of certain practices but I will admit lots of social media platforms collect info on people to sell etc. But I believe tik tok goes even further with accessing even more personal stuff than other ones.

Even with youtube I limit what I put out there. I was planning on doing a bunch of videos in the past but seeing how bad youtube is for content creators countless times it put me off from it. But it’s clear it also collects info etc.

The main problem is SOO many people have social media profiles and don’t care they are being spied on claiming stupid stuff like “I have nothing to hide” etc. Until lots of people quit using social media it isn’t gonna really change.

I’ve always respected the work you do and always recommended your content to everyone I know. I truly appreciate that you are willing to educate the people about this.

Love that you are open to a different pov and aren’t locked in to only one way of thinking. We need more of that in the world💛

Honestly, my bigger issue with TikTok is what it’s doing to people, especially children and teens, regarding their attention span. And then users double-down and make every TikTok or other short form video have a second clip in the bottom half of the screen to retain people’s attention. When you think about it, it is really concerning.

This isn’t like when our parents said videogames will rot our brain; this is genuinely bad.

12:25 Oh no, I’m not letting this one go. Louis, it’s not possible that Atten St-862D can blow more hot air than a US senator, I won’t believe it.
