1·2 months agoA massive, comprehensive data privacy law would’ve covered the TikTok base and any software by any other threat
That’s assuming the ban is motivated by privacy reasons, but i don’t think it is. It’s far more likely that it’s because the US has no control over the platform’s algorithm, which they fear is feeding Americans media and perspectives that are antithetical to their foreign policy objectives (Blinken and Romney have both stated as much).
A US buyer would be more friendly/responsive to US regulatory influence. That’s the only reason this isn’t a privacy bill instead of a ban or forced sale.
Yea, they were comparing tiktok to other american-owned social media sites, which are guilty of exactly the same thing themselves.
Any site that doesn’t explicitly push anti chinese content is going to look like a pro-chinese bias
(there are several people in this thread who would not mind banning certain lemmy instances on this basis)
I wonder if op has a strong opinion about china.
Sir, this is a Wendy’s
People keep complaining that AI is hallucinating information not in its source material, but here it is strictly limiting itself to the source and even citing its findings and yet everyone is still upset?
Curious
Lmao, i only ever see this carping from one instance and even just one user
Marx had very little to say about the governing structure of communist governments, but did actually describe socialism as a ‘dictatorship of the proletariat’.
What you’re taking issue with is how marxism was later applied by various political projects, but they all still fall under the umbrella term of Marxism.
Put another way: all Marxist-lenninists are Marxist but not all Marxists are Marxist-lenninists
probably because that distinction is unfounded.
Better .ml than .world, honestly
Tankie culture/factory full of China-bootlicking and genocide denials
Gee, I wonder what your disagreement is
My parents and school administrators’ attempts at blocking unsanctioned activities is what taught me computer literacy
There was nothing quite as satisfying as getting caught opening addictinggames on a web browser through a proxy when the teacher was convinced they had blocked it completely.
