- vkou 2y agoI'd love for a precedent to be established, but I have zero confidence that it will actually be used for anything that doesn't come from China. Given it's very spotty track record, I have very little confidence that the US is actually a country where nobody is above the law. I'd be very pleasantly surprised if this actually goes the other way, but I would not bet on it. The entire discourse so far about TikTok has been about how it's bad because it's foreign media, not about a principled approach to why it and other things like it are bad. What makes you think it'll turn around, and extend to other social media?
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> have zero confidence that it will actually be used for anything that doesn't come from China Despite this case using the case filed last year against Instagram as precedent? (Tactically speaking, as it hasn’t been decided yet.)
- vkou 2y agoI wasn't aware of that. We can wait and see about the reasoning used in the two cases once they conclude.
