I'm not really ok with that type of anti other country behavior in (edit to add the word: almost) any case. Heck, I want cheap Chinese EV options in the US too.
Make government (and other) tracking opt-out-able by law. That is the law we need. Not this bs version.
This current bill literally sounds like it's written by American companies to squash a foreign competition. You know Facebook, YouTube, etc. are biting at the teeth for more users (and ad revenue) of short form content; especially if TikTok users scattered to other platforms.
Once again: give users the freedom to chose what they want. This is a government overreach.
I would say make laws about data collection, usage, etc. instead of banning TikTok.
Heck, fix more important problems like income disparity, hunger, homelessness, healthcare, our wasteful spending, so many things more important and yet we're wasting time on TikTok.
I don't think people think this is a good use of time.
Seriously, it's government overreach and ignoring freedom of speech, etc.
Normally I would say view the man page (as a command). Though for some reason when making the thinnest distro possible, the OS team at my job got rid of man.
If making payments in crypto back to FIAT was free it would be more popular. For me it's mostly useless since the fee to spend crypto is more than the (often free) fee for using my credit card.
New needs to be better and cheaper to be picked up.
If the same videos TikTok had were instead on YouTube shorts, would all you people be happy? What about if Meta had it? It's pure nationalism and old people being scared of short form woke-ness.
I believe every social media has a misinformation problem, but I'm not just pinning it on TikTok.
Heck, our fear is the same reason we don't have cheaper EVs. We say 'the CCP.. ' and poof less competition and shitter availability for Americans.
I think it's ridiculous. I could care less if the CCP knows what type of short form videos I like. I'm sure our government has the same type of data. Obviously users could care less too. Leave choice to the people: hence freedom.
I believe in freedom of speech. Trying to take this (stupid) app away is a violation of it. I don't care about who owns it or gets data from it.
.. effortless casting could be a negative depending on who ya ask.
