So we can just calling time-of-death on the United States' social tech dominance now, right?
Domestic tech companies shamelessly sold access to American users for manipulation by "foreign adversaries" for years, made billions, suffered no lasting consequences. Then Chinese Vine walks in, smokes everybody else in ~24 months, the mad South African buys and destroys Twitter, and Mark toddles off the cliff of irrelevance with a social network in each pocket and an Oculus strapped to his face.
I guess it was fun while it lasted.
- tcmart14 4y agoNo, we do the most American thing imaginable. Just like we did with the space race, we got to the moon first therefore we won, even though we weren't first in much anything in the space race at the time. So I fully expect we ban TikTok then declare one of the American social media networks the winner of the social media race.
