I think it's ok 5% of the time (or 1 out of every 20 times) to call it the Gulf of Cuba.

Actually, she doesn't. They are appointed by the then-current President and confirmed by Congress, and intentionally serve staggered terms, and both parties must be represented.
She doesn't swear an oath of fealty to the President, er, King either.

Also the audience. I can understand one person being so stupid, but how is it the audience didn't gasp? Didn't have even say 20% of them freak out, say "oh my god", and denounce him? I'm more disappointed in the audience than I am him.

Tiktok was a GREAT source of news, not just political but various communities, subjects, opinions. We have to reproduce it in a way where no government, not even our own, can block it again.

Ok, I'll grant you that, and I don't support doing that.
I guess the logical conclusion is the Great Firewall of America to keep China out, if we are truly that worried about Chinese influence. Tiktok isn't the only thing that's connected to China used here. Which will become an echo chamber but 🤷

I'm naive? Dude you think China wants to wage "literal war" on us. And no the CCP doesn't direct the motions of TikTok, there's no Commissar ensuring compliance. But hey, we won't agree, I guess only time will tell who is paranoid and who is naive.

Yeah but they probably want to operate in the US again, so can't piss off the gov too much. I'm hoping it's only a couple of days, but.. also hoping it's not being MetaTok..

I was watching (couldn't click on but could see from my fyp) until finally the app crashed me out and then I couldn't get back in of course

They did that because of prior US security concerns a few -years- ago. So yes they do have to or they'd have been banned before now. Oracle (the hosting provider) isn't going to take the risk of millions in fines on a "promise we won't come after you" that isn't worth the paper it's not printer on.

And not a false equivalence, as Meta will give our data to the US government with just a warrant (a gov order to do something).... The same as the CCP asking Tiktok, a company owned internationally, through ByteDance for data with .. a gov order to do something. So no, not false equivalence.

No, it isn't controlled by the CCP. But again, believe whatever you want.

Wait... Moscow is in China now? 😅 and also Romania isn't exactly a poster child for democracy, not having massive corruption, etc. so not surprised. And yes, any social media can be used to spread propaganda by countries, including *gasp* the US! We just don't like it when others do it.. 😒

I don't think it's a threat to democracy, and never did.. I think Trump changes his opinion whenever it suits him.

weird because he said it should be banned before..., guess this like everything else about him is slippery and changes like the wind. Can't trust a thing he says, but we tried to tell people.

China doesn't want to subjugate us, they don't want to rule us, but keep believing what you hear on the fox news entertainment channel.

Well Meta is a company, and China a country, but let me know when the US does that.. (hint: Tuesday in Chicago (ice raids), Trump with his "enemies"), and yes they can get your data from Meta and X with a simple warrant.

The propaganda of...? Booktok? DiabetesTok? Finding others with ADHD? Connecting with other developers? That Taiwan has always been part of mainland China-tok? That last one may be made up, saw it on American TV, not Tiktok, so...

Agreed, and the next 4 years will not help advance those but driving EVs vs gas cars is still better, and incremental progress is still progress. I can't remove my reliance on cars, but I can choose cars that do less (not no) damage, and buying a new car would waste the one I've already got.

No Elon could believe that cinnamon cures diabetes for all I care, it doesn't. He could believe in the Easter bunny and it still won't exist.

Because I don't like gasoline, diesel, or gas station spills? Because I support at-home "refueling" in off hours to balance out power grid usage? The env still benefits overall with EVs vs gas cars, and who the CEO of a company is doesn't change the science.
