There are quite a number of checks and balances within each branch, executive included. Some backed by law and others backed by tradition. Do you have some expertise in this that you're drawing from?

Do you have a source for that video? I'd like to share it.

So speculation then. Here's some more: because it won't be a dragged out meat-grinder if he has a puppet US administration/political party.

By your own admission a defensive security guarantee will "kick off a great power war..." which is a way of saying Russia can't be trusted to keep the peace, no? Not that I disagree but I'm not sure it's as strong a

Given Ukraine has now been invaded multiple times by Russia it seems entirely right and reasonable for it to ask for guarantees, and not an imposition if the other nation was truly an Ally, in the formal definition of the word, no?

Are you asking people to read the mind of Putin? Or speculate? It seems reasonable to believe that at the very least Putin wants the territory he attempted to take when he first invaded, Kyiv et.al. Why would that change if he hasn't?

No, it doesn't.

I'm encouraged that they're actively exploring this and not shying away from experiments. It seems clear to me that there are areas of Mozilla[0],[1] pushing closer and closer to great local AI integrations doing the kinds of thin

The UN has adopted the above document which includes an Annex for the new "Global Digital Compact". Sourced from: https://www.reuters.com/world/un-adopts-pact-that-aims-save-... For example, they have committ

Isn't scientific advancement inventing things we can't fully define? Each working atop the other to define more?

The prisoner's dilemma would indicate that when the other player 'defects' you should retaliate. Not that I like that outcome, but it seems pretty ironclad.

With all due respect, this idea seems like the preamble for "How to stop all companies from advertising on your platform". Why would any company pay Twitter for this privilege?

The US did not have to worry overmuch about propaganda in the past because they knew they could throw the most amount of money at the problem whenever they needed to. They were the richest. That's not true anymore. Both technical advan

So i guess the question is, if you could stop it from happening via laws, would you?

Given that we've learned about western companies practices here as a result of whistleblowers it seems unlikely we'll see that from Bytedance. Especially considering how they've treated whistleblowers so far.

if he had directed it as "Think of the adults" would you feel differently? It seems silly to say that propaganda/news/information has no influence on people when we demonstrate that it does every single day of our lives.

I think if we admit that social media has any power or influence then we have to also admit that it can have negative ones. To me, the defining difference between US company influence in the US is that they also have to live in whatever cou

If we agree that both parties propagandize we should also recognize that they may do so to different ends, no?

Being able to effectively 'tailor' anything to their users pretty much proves they have that (or generate it within their app).

More than that, a US company has an innate floor on 'how bad' they're willing to disrupt the US to get what they want, because they live and operate there. A foreign national company has no such floor if they are not our alli

Are national security arguments not legal? My understanding was that Chinese Tech companies are required by law to serve as (willing or unwilling) arms of the domestic spy agency in China.

Wow, i'd heard general political complaints about Huawei but never stuff like this: "The day the TDC team set up in Plesner’s offices, the law firm’s IT systems came under a denial-of-service hacking attack." "At 12:20 a

Truth may be truth, but marshaling it out of the past and into the present courtroom is a lossy operation no matter what we philosophically believe.

"So we're to argue with your imagination?" To be clear, not my imagination as i'm not the original poster. Nor anyone's imagination since the act of violence did, in fact, occur. A poor choice of words, on my part.

I think this is an insightful comment, but i'm not sure its merely the Chinese model at play. It's also the purpose of courts and lawmaking. So that the harmony and stability of society can continue; and the truth of the matter ca
