Causing widespread distrust of one of the few means of grassroots information dissemination is an absolutely massive W for bourgeois interests.
LLMs will be the biggest hurdle to proletarian revolution going forward. Having any sort of messaging reach the masses will become impossible, and bourgeois counter narratives will be trivially deployed any time revolutionary moments have the potential to lead to changes that benefit the proletariat.

Just because it’s the shiny new thing doesn’t mean it’s going to be the most effective. The age old tactics of poverty, direct repression and pitting the proletariat class against itself via competition have been, and will be, far greater hurdles.
This is one of the core reasons I have come to the belief that using Chinese platforms will serve us better than using western FOSS projects like the fediverse.
The response to the fediverse has been to coopt, and the response to tiktok has been to outright ban, which clearly implies bourgeois entities believe the former can be used to serve their interests and the latter cannot.
It is clear they feel that Chinese platforms are more resilient to their operations than homegrown open source ones, evidenced by the fact that they can trivially deploy LLM bots to any server or spin up their own.

Yah, it’s also probably another reason why they went against tiktok so hard
