No Fooling April
AUDIO / TEXT / MULTIMEDIA: TikTok celebre: Go fast to the next: Data collection is the concern: Human Rights on the other sphere
Introduction: This is not voice changer nor on voicemod, but voice recording of my live voice (… to make sure of it, in case there are still doubts about among you)
I’ll go onto the social media, TikTok mostly, and other topics to come up with or apart from:

Recipe for celebrity on TikTok; Rapid creations of many for many:
Concerns about copyright issues when I repost TikTok posts on my publication, which though should raise no problem because clicks on TikTok will go to the creators (unless I skillfully change the URL).
If the video does not come through, I may have fundamental misunderstandings of how the business works. Below is the pasted copy of Chalie d’Amelio’s post with voice changer (or some sort of).

In my google search for the top TikTok male celebrity, Zach King came up. I quickly went through a bunch of his posts, which are very clever and funny. There are some posts I found not only witty but also somewhat classically classy. Like this one:

Polemic TikTok:
The Congress is concerned about the data sucking by the TikTok parental company. Monopoly is a coming along issue or potentially majorly, if not yet heavily discussed. The excerpt below are from “TikTok Made Them Famous. What If It All Goes Away?” by Sara Ashley O’Brien, Ashley Wong, and Lindsey Chao (WSJ; 3/14/24):
Now, [TikTok creators’] income hangs in the balance of pending legislation. After House lawmakers voted Wednesday in overwhelming support of a bill that could ban TikTok in the U.S., TikTok is lobbying Washington to avoid a tough decision: sell or lose the 170 million users who make up its biggest market.
When TikTok became available in the U.S. in 2017, its bite-sized video format launched a new wave of online stars. Compared with other social-media sites, TikTok could spread content far beyond a user’s immediate following. Thanks to the app’s hypersensitive algorithm, people could discover content and personalities that aligned with their interests just by scrolling the app’s main feed, known as the For You Page. Brands quickly noticed who was commanding an audience and started making deals to get their products in front of the app’s rapidly growing user base.

Then, successful creators can become the TikTok brands of their own, commercially sponsored by markets’ brands. Data of American users, collected by Chinese entities, gather the eyes of lawmakers for their focus.

Appeal of TikTok …
… to viewers is its bite easy quickness, view and go to the next in repetition for the new to reach at anytime. Thus the number matters all around. The key for a success is on the quality balance with the efficient productivity for creators, whose idea gets values high along with the availability of technical tools as handy to be employed with no obstacle.
For me, it seems to be a very short form of art, abbreviated and compact, which does not even give a room for boredom to viewers, because there is no such time for. We all live in such an era. Conversely, TikTok would be able to raise our awareness of being in a slow flow, tenderly in time, with no rush push of being entertained as ceaseless.

Regret is to skip the topic on Shanahan and Gabbard in this publication:
.. and as if in response to them, the government suddenly (or not) creates Human Rights Committee to impose on is, well oh, I don’t know what to say about.
