    Curious if Facebook is affected also. I received some porno videos mixed in with an advertisement about ED. I clicked “hide video” and saw the same advertisement about 5 more times under different names. The following day NADA.

    Yes I know,,,,, I’m setting myself up for some jokes. lol

    No jokes here. Just make sure you have a browser buddy. Someone to delete out your search history when you die. :)

    What is y'alls aversion to quotation marks? They are free, afterall :)
    Or maybe italicize the paragraphs you quoted without quotes.

    My wife, who uses TikTok, says she's notice a shift the last few days of the algorithm going to very pro-China feeds, Asian posters telling Trump to fudge off, and the message of 'the US needs China more than China needs the US' ...

    I haven’t really noticed any changes since ever. I still get mostly cooking tips and movie reviews. The algorithm knows I don’t want any politics and doesn’t give me any.

    She's showing me a bunch of stuff, Chinese people showing their factory jobs, how much it costs to make their product vs. how much he pay for it... It's pretty good stuff. Not sure why she started getting that all of a sudden, though ...
