  • This seems to he based on a lot of hypothetical and not actual data.

    The study examined the carbon footprint associated with each user per minute by incorporating the emissions associated with data centers, which made up about 99% of the footprint, and the emissions associated with charging devices after using the platforms.

    TikTok’s emissions are the most opaque of the social media platforms. Tech giants such as Meta and Google release detailed reports to the Carbon Disclosure Project every year, even posting their findings to their respective websites. TikTok has no publicly available emissions data.

    It’s just the theoretical output of emissions needed to run a Data Centre based off viewers and average time spent. While these are all rough numbers it could also very well be that the Data Centre’s are powered at least in part by renewables.

    So it would make sense that Tiktok would use up a lot of electricity for its platform. We just can’t be sure how much of it actually translates into more emissions.




  • For those of you unaware, Doug Ford is a shitbag of a human being who only does things when it’s of personal benefit to himself. He hates Toronto with a passion ever since his druggie of a brother, who was mayor of Toronto, got busted doing drugs (which was an open secret) and ended up dying from health complications. He tried to run for his brothers seat but Toronto essentially told him to fuck off. He then ran for Premier and won and one of the first things he did as Premier was to slash the Toronto city council by half as a gigantic middle finger to them. He seems to enjoy screwing over Toronto because of how petty he is. Oh and did I mention that Doug used to sell crack to teenagers before he became a politician?














  • Really?? The Vice President of the United States, second only to the President, has no control over policies being made in the United States? She doesn’t have a podium to address her citizens and her fellow politicians to speak her mind and influence public opinion? She doesn’t preside over the senate to cast tie-breaking votes so that she can help sway decisions? She doesn’t have the ability to make a campaign promise, as the Democratic candidate for President, to stop arming Israel while they slaughter innocents?

    No, she has a lot of power to help influence decisions. She’s just scared to because of that sweet sweet AIPAC money.
