THen you should go read the SCOTUS final decision, it's pretty succinct for a law document.

bots and CCP trolls aren't really people doing good faith "truths" on the internet. Most of it is purely made up fiction

I feel it is a very strange hill to die on for them, given all the good they can do in other places. I'm kind of doubting my annual donation to them around the first of the year which I've done for at least 10 years, but nothing i

I feel that Europe has exactly that very right, as I support our right to exorcise control of the CCP from TikTok and/or shut it down. I completely understand why they would.

McCarthyism wasn't a very credible threat. There are reams of evidence that CCP is trying to destroy democracy and attacking all of our critical infrastructure (electronic especially) looking for weak points. There is nothing imagined

It's the source of the manipulation here. One battle at a time. I can't think of a more obvious one than giving the CCP a black eye as a first step to addressing those who are trying to polarize and destroy America as their first

I agree with the EFF on a lot of stuff. I don't believe in absolute _________ without considering life is virtually never that simple.

I have met true-to-life anarchists that would be perfectly happy living in a cabin in the woods. At least that's their theory, I had my doubts about their survival skill in such cabin in the woods communities after a month or so. I kno

signal in belief that freedom of speech has limits, and it doesn't extend to a foreign adversary hoping to decimate the USA has been my conclusion from the 9-0 decision of SCOTUS

are you just being obtuse about the artificial colors? that's what we were discussing. there are -only- natural colors in the European version vs the American one, in particular Red 40 is associated with cancer which is what we're

right you really have to be not paying attention or be living in an alternative facts world. For instance look on X, there are literally thousands of paid for foreign propaganda bots trying to inject hatred and division in the USA and they

I don't get this take. China is constantly stealing US IP. The US simply wanted to cut out the foreign influence, while allowing free speech of the users. That's a simple plan and makes a lot of sense. China doesn't allow any

I am of 100% of the same opinion as you. I have told people for years about the cyber warfare going on and that we're losing it, and they just don't seem to care and want that serotonin hit and ignore the rest. I also want curbs o

No libertarians feel that people will likely get sick or die from bad products, and will sue the company/quit buying the product; aka let the market and survival of the fittest decide what people put in their bodies.

that is 99% of all politicians though. Her policies were generally much better aligned with the health and well being of the average American vs the average billionaire.

I think that Trump doesn't care one way or another about food coloring or Americans getting cancer, and as such his administration will likely leave such things alone and untouched for the most part unless the food lobby asks him to ca

The fruit loops in Europe have natural food coloring which isn't known to cause cancer like red #3 (for instance)

Average life span there is a bit longer overall than the USA, but much like the USA it can vary quite a bit from region to region

they aren't banning it. They gave tiktok an out -- sell to an American company or non adversarial country, if ByteDance doesn't bite on that, then that's on them.

yep tiktak has far more serotonin spikes per "next item" per unit time than hackernews.

I have sold plenty things on there and none of them were stolen. I buy broken vintage electronics (60s, 70s, 80s) for cheap and resale them after I fix them. It's not a lot of money but it's a way to pass the time on a boring even

you can easily block those with extensions. that's what I do. I just use if for some local interest groups, marketplace, and messenger for some family/friends.

That can't happen, the 1st amendment protects us from that sort of overreach with lots of precedence coming before it. What can happen is severe penalties for companies and adults who allow minors to get on social media. That is the so

Why would any California based company take a chance on being sued by the California attorney general's office in such a way? Meta is the perfect target to pick for fighting the overreach of a Trumpian department of Justice and GQP con

I've known multiple with glucose monitors and all of them told me they saw no increase after drink a diet soda. I think the "aspartame causes sugar spikes" is an urban legend. I never get the sugar rush from them like I do if

I don't know anyone who would switch from soda to beer?? probably tea, or coffee, or lemonade or flavored sparkling water
