It’s notable that the same people who say that books about children’s experience in the holocaust and about famous baseball players need to be removed from schools, drag queen story hours can’t happen, adolescents can’t have access to contraception, and accurate history can’t be taught in order to “protect children” have absolutely no problem with children in workplaces where they absolutely do not belong. Almost as if everything they claim to believe is a lie. https://mastodon.lol/@brooklynmarie/109988456677638283

Tik Tok is next to tell you what kind of links you can put on your online profile. "TikTok has begun blocking links to app stores in creators’ bios, [....] The block [...] also extends to third-party link-in-bio solutions like Linktree." And this is why you need to own your web presence, even if it's a basic, single page hosted on https://neocities.org or https://glitch.com. https://techcrunch.com/2023/03/08/tiktok-begins-blocking-links-to-app-store-pages-from-creators-bios/ via @Sarahp@mastodon.social #IndieWeb #OpenWeb #news #TikTok
