Please stop posting about every fart that asshole makes …

I have been using Firefox as my only browser for many, many years now and I have never seen that message before.

Give then a Nobel Prize!

Quote and sauce or it did not happen …

I think you completely missed the point. The relevant question is not if there are better ways to reduce one’s negative impact (because obviously there are) and also not if Ecosia is perfect (because obviously it is not). The relevant question is how much environmental damage using Ecosia does compared to using other search engines and how good the search results are.

Who’s to say that the same won’t be true of TikTok

Who knows but we are talking about the negative effects TikTok has on society right now.

I respect your opinion and don’t think you are arguing in bad faith. However, I think you are missing the central point. Which -in my opinion- is that a social media platform that turns out to have extremely negative effects on society and especially kids, should get shut down. If it happens with intent or without is not particularly relevant as far as I see it. I apologize if my initial comments were phrased in any misleading way, I am not a native speaker so I sometimes miss the finer nuances of certain formulations.

What I mean is that Facebook for example is aimed at and consumed by older adults in the first place. Most young people in fact see it as a boomer platform.

By design. Especially the format (short video clips) and the optimization for being used on phones (not computers) makes it attractive for kids.

63% of Americans between the ages of 12 and 17 used TikTok on a weekly basis

TikTok reportedly has 18 million users who are 14 or younger, renewing concerns for children’s safety

A Third of TikTok’s U.S. Users May Be 14 or Under, Raising Safety Questions

I tried googling, can’t find anything that supports these claims

Seriously? it took me one google search to find an endless list of such articles. Also, did you not notice all the kids outside filming Tik Tok dances with their phones, it has been going on for many years now, how is it possible you did not notice it?

Yes but unlike Facebook and other platforms, Tik Tok is aimed at and consumed by minors specifically.

Tik Tok pushes so much toxic content towards children and teenagers it should be shut down in my opinion.

Well done people of Grünheide. Pine forest matters. Fuck you, Elon!

Agreed, I have no objections to that.

I in fact agree with both, but imo reducing the number of cars is the top priority.

With the human population there is in the world today, I am afraid high density cities are necessary. Space is limited, without cities suburbia and villages would cover every square meter of land and there would be no space for the little nature that is still left.

That sounds like a strawman argument tbh. I didn’t say anything along those lines. I in fact agree that electric cars are better, just like smaller cars are better too but the basic problem, that they are cars, always remains. What improves cities the most is reducing the number of cars and rededicating streets and parking lots to sidewalks, bike paths, gardens and public parks.

In urban environments we don´t need different cars, we need less cars.

It seems like they might have invented the Hamas connection of UNRWA as part of their starvation tactic against Gaza.
