During the height of the pandemic, government health officials were doing outreach for vaccines on Tiktok.
https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/03/politics/fauci-tiktok-youth-vaccinations/index.html
This was also supported by the White House
Also several congress people were doing Q/As on Tiktok.
​
At some point, an IT person helping them with this likely voiced their opinion about security and were overruled.

The phone side of Moto (old Motorola Mobility) is just Lenovo, which is why Tiktok is installed on it.

Did you want to order a pack of Amazon Basics AA batteries, 8 pack for $7.99. I can add it to your shopping cart? Do you want me to add it?

Ubers/ Lyfts from Midtown to Williamsburg are like $45 - $50 each way. I only try to use them when they offer some percent off the next few rides. It'll probably be $60 - $65 by if the economy takes a nose dive. All the tech companies are trying to cut cost by raising prices and laying off staff.

Captain Obvious says: Social media causes people to fall into echo chambers and put more importance of likes or user counts. Oh yeah, everything turns into a marketing campaign regardless how unimportant.

Black Rock has some of the largest fossil fuel investments. Your company shouldn't invest in fossil fuels or we make you look bad. Meanwhile, Blackrock and Vanguard are increasing their interests in fossil fuels. Telling governments to not question them about it. That's the whole point of these "protestors".

I would have to agree with that redditor. It's financial market blackmail to shift investments to companies that "buy in" into ESG. "Do this and I'll make you more money. Don't do it and I'll make you unprofitable."

The media calls this "The Capital Market Riot" or October 26th. Never forget!
I wonder if their ESG score goes down.

Seems like some wild juju has been going on the past few weeks. I guess she really needed a quarter water and a pastrami on rye.

Typical corporate speak when companies are desperate:
We need a "top down" "30,000 ft" "360 view" that generates "return on investment" of our "core competencies" to create "synergistic" "disruptors" in the industry using "the dangling carrot" with a bunch of "value adds"

This is what I've been saying for years. Sundar needs to step down and a Lisa Su style leader put in his place.
