Even more tick tocks? China wasn't part of the deal, it was a bunch of other nations that aren't China, and trade with them is almost entirely great.

That's not exactly a great number to show if you don't know the percentage of people going to trial who are guilty in the first place. If you know you did the crime, you know they've got proof, you have an option to take a pl

You decriminalize it, we've already seen movement towards that happening.

by bioemerl 4y ago
Times change, situations adjust, and new behaviors appear that need to be regulated and shut down. You can't just stop criminalizing things, society would grind to a halt within a few decades.

And none of that would have helped resolve the issues with the fact that they are still under the control of the Chinese government. It doesn't matter where the data is if China controls the code. It doesn't matter where the serve

At this rate you may as well just tear down the whole government. You can't write law that's specific to every single use case, you have to rely on courts for that. If you're going to say that you can't trust courts to

As do incredibly specific ones. The key is to be generally applicable such that companies can't find loopholes, but specific enough that courts understand the essence of your intent and don't go overboard in terms of allowing abus

It was a very good idea, and by shutting it down we basically handed a huge amount of power to China in the degree deal between a bunch of southeast Asian nations is one led by them instead of us. Trump's withdrawal from that agreement

The government could literally take any power at any moment for any reason at any time that they wanted to. The same thing prevents this bill from being used to ban VPNs as the passage of a brand new law that specifically outlaws VPNs. You

No there isn't, unless you want to regulate down to the specific details of what it's promoted or suppressed in their algorithm, who gets banned, who gets compensated for their videos, and so on You'd have to regulate so hars

The first thing I think is important to point out here is that the bill isn't really pointed towards VPNs, any interpretation of it that leans that way is probably going to get shut down before it ever gets to the point that it's

The act itself does not, it only gives the secretary of commerce the power to create regulations and other mandates related to any company owned by something that is defined as a foreign adversary, which in the bill is listed as Venezuela,

These are all good questions, and questions like this generally gets settled through court cases. 9 times out of 10 you can basically assume, " reasonability". Does viewing ads in TikTok give them money? I would expect not, becau

There is no source, it doesn't make it illegal to use a VPN. It makes it a legal to use a VPN to bypass the restrictions in the law. The intended idea is that you can't do business with tick tock and if you do try to use things t

I think it's fine. The lawmakers aren't evil mustache twirling villains, they're trying to create a law and they wrote it as sensibly as they reasonably would in their circumstance and people on the internet are blowing it wa

It would involve any attempt to bypass regulations placed down in the sake of national security, which would be something like using a VPN in order to give money to TikTok.

One of the reasons the bill is structured as it has been is that the court shut down the last ban and was rumored to be willing to shut down a future specific ban. Keeping it in general was actually a way to get it past the courts.

There is no such thing as a bill comprehensive and deep enough to ensure that a tool like tiktok not be abused by the Chinese government. Imagine for a moment you went back into the 1950s and told everyone "hey, let's have all of

by bioemerl 4y ago
This better just result in a revision of the bill to remove some of the things people are complaining about and not shut the bill down entirely. TikTok very badly needs to be banned.

It's a 180 I'm sure happy with. This isn't about lifting people out of poverty or the quality of the other apps. There are very big systemic problems that still need to be solved with regulations on American applications. Thi

The operatives in China's social manipulation groups are laughing while reading this thread because you all are doing their work for free. I don't think you guys understand here how important a bill like this is, and how much of a

They can amend it before it gets passed into law. And this bill without question needs to be passed into law in some form.

I think the problem you're running into is that this particular comment looks human written?

Looks like they have a history of using chatGPT to post comments, specifically.

Because the WTO was and is a joke. They'd have sided with China who on their official books says "they can come back they just have to follow our laws", while in practice continuing to ban and restrict these companies regardl

The imminence comes from the China side where their point of view is "we take Taiwan and claim the south china sea and we will go to war to do it". There are no options with which to avoid war but make sure we are so constantly on

It's easy for a programming language . However, if someone is going to learn, I'll bet they'll pick up python in a similar amount of time, and get a lot better tools when they do it.

In my opinion basic was not about the language. It wasn't that easy to understand, it wasn't that powerful, it was slow. It was about simplicity, it was easy to make sound. To draw to the screen. It was about accessibility. Comp
