Huh, interesting. Thanks for that.
ETA: I realized I was unclear. I’m thanking the user for giving me such a clear reason to block them. It’s not always so cut and dry.

Defederating from lemmy.ml? What a loss!
No way, only China and Russia (THE BAD GUYS) spy while the US is innocent and unaware of even how to spy because it’s the GOOD GUY.

(Not you OP, you = governments)
You want to block corporate social media sites as propaganda
I want to block corporate social media sites because they’re parasites on society.
We are not the same.
Im actually quite upset that lawmakers havent used this to pass generalized privacy protection.
They have an opportunity to end mass survailance, but thats OK if its US survailance
Don’t forget China blocks tiktok too.
IIRC China tried to stir up its internet users about the US blocking Tiktok and it fell flat because it’s blocked for them too.
They’re technically not banning tiktok, they’re banning China from owning tiktok
Which is somehow even worse : it’s like only the USA is allowed to spy on everyone!
They’re not going to sell though. The US only makes up a single-digit % of their users.
How much of their ad revenue comes from America though?
This is primarily intended as a hostile buyout of tiktok. It has literally nothing to do with China.
Lmao, the USA doesn’t operate the commercial sector outside of power, trains, rockets, and planes. It won’t benefit from the sale in any way other than lowering Chinese involvement.
The US government works for the billionaires that run the economy. Many billionaires want to buy tiktok. In fact, there’s already teams of people set up for buying out tiktok. The government is just the tool for the hostile acquisition. No one said the US government is directly purchasing tiktok.
I don’t know, but we can officially stop bragging about our “FrEeDoMs!”
