For the sake of clarity, shouldn't the title really be "One FCC commissioner requests Google, Apple remove TikTok As written, the title makes in look like the whole commission is asking for this, and "ask" isn't always a request, sometimes it can be a command (for example a police officer asking for your license and registration when they pull you over).

Personally, I've never had an officer ask for license and registration. It is always phrased as a demand. It's never been "may I see your license and registration?". It's always "license and registration". No please added either.

> For the sake of clarity, shouldn't the title really be "One FCC commissioner requests Google, Apple remove TikTok I think you're the only poster who actually caught this. Brendan Carr comes out of a firm that owns a major DC lobbying hydra (Signal Group). His FCC history is all about parroting the (often anti-consumer) talking points of last administration. He's indistinguishable from Ajit Pai. Carr is endlessly supportive of ISP monopolies. He rails against net-neutrality and Section 230. He's everything the FCC ought to protect us from. As far as TikTok+China goes, I tend to be way more concerned about govs that can imprison me. Past that, is TikTok a problem? We don't actually know because we never, ever, ever get meaningful specifics about what's being collected or what how that manifests as an actual risk to us.
