Want to replace TikTok? Great. Join @loops. Otherwise, the problem will just follow you to the next platform and keep resurfacing every time that next platform reaches critical mass. Unfortunately, this problem will never get solved, because platforms and the creators that have contempt for them share the same commercial incentives. It’s why news outlets stay on X — the America First CSAM platform.
