It is fair to isolate TikTok becaues it is controlled by an adversarial world power. That's a lot different than facebook/instagram/etc pumping out addictive engagement tripe, which I think should have some serious limits on

I think this is a positive. We should be happy other countries reducing the tentacle lengths of US social media vorps (or Chinese social media like tiktok)

and checks and balances allowed it to eventually come out, even though i think facebook knew they could fight it in court. In China that is not an option, Xi and his circle say is what happens with no recourse other than a straight up rebel

As a US citizen I would support your right to limit facebook/twitter/etc exposure to your citizens, especially with the incoming administration. That's why I think it's also appropriate for the US to oppose a adversarial

You forgot it's mostly about Chinese Communist Party influence (or eventual influence) if they get firmly entrenched in the public mindset of the USA. No nation political apparatus should have such a large direct (actual or potential)

One thing that will help greatly is to regulate hospitals into having an umbrella of "services" that allows "private" operators BUT those operators have to be covered by any insurance that wants to work with the hospital

If you are talking about an online language class as in "I'm learning Yiddish" then I don't understand why it would confuse that that someone who isn't a coder or writer (and they're a big if) who doesn't

I really have hopes that they can reach a ceasefire and that Ukraine can come into NATO to prevent further Russian aggression. Ideally let those Ukrainians who want to enter the “new” Ukraine. I think Putin is of the mind that he has to wi

Probably because being tracked across all platforms is a bad idea in a democractic/liberal type of country, and not worth the "think of the children" argument. At some point parents have to take some responsibility.

There is a price for everything. I think there are plenty communes that people can join if they want to retire from the typical modern life and have a simpler existence.

It is. I would prefer the advantages of a “cheap as possible but robust” basic car design. I want a car that is air gapped and not phoning home, that is electric (or good hybrid), and gets me from A to B. I want it to be reasonably comfort

I don’t really think basing your knowledge on a debate is a good place to start on anything that is a scientific matter like the origins of covid. I’ve read both sides and while I lean towards it being an escaped virus, the other side also

Yeah I’m afraid we may never find out the whole truth unless some whistleblower sneaks out with a bunch of evidence or some new genetic techniques come about that let us know without a doubt it was man-made rather than various credible sour

It’s really easy to disable that stuff. I use as my “incognito” browser, it has some of the best anti fingerprinting capabilities and I just have it delete everything when I exit. I know tor browser is better but tor network is just too slo

I was on there for while, but I wasn’t really impressed by it. I prefer reddit even with all the chaos there.

I agree with 95% of what you said, but TikTok is about to be resurrected by the Trump administration. There’s no way they will let it go under, it has helped them tremendously, and they will reward corporations for loyalty
