If you read some of her late tweets she walks back the go-dark part. There was a mandate to remove gender identity-related content.

I showed this to my dog, she is now hiding in the closet.

No but it didn't leave the play store for about an hour or so after it went dark. Might just be "processing" time to get it back up .

Also, appreciate the civil discussion on this. Nice to have a disagreement with out the silly name-calling etc.

I haven't seen anything that says TikTok has anymore access than any other app. If the concern is the Chinese ownership then shouldn't TEMU and all other Chinese apps be gone? Since they aren't, this really seems like either an effort to abridge speech or backdoor influence from Meta, X or the like.

You don't have concerns about the US government effectively banning a free speech platform? I truly see this as a modern day version of banning a newspaper. Even at the height of the cold war Pravada was never banned in the US.

I think gumbo fits more in the stew category than soup but also a pretty strong argument that gumbo is just it's own thing

You are so close to understanding how this app works. Here I'll help you out, read my post in the context that it was a reply to Henry post.

The 1st amendment only protects from the government surpressing or limiting speech, not an individual company.

Social media is clearly protected by the first amendment The government has no business banning a company that ro idea it. Image in the olden days, if this was about banning the printing press. Clearly different tech but same effect of making it more difficult for a person to be heard.

And how does being owned by an American company change that...see X, Meta etc.

Like what? There hasn't even been a hint or partial leak of what the threat actually is.

That isn't his argument. He is questioning why ByteDance won't sell and alluding it means something other than a rational business decision to just exit an unfriendly marker.

The industry isn't really relevant to the argument of why ByteDance won't sell. No company, in any industry, is going to sell because a foreign govt wants them to be controlled by a domestic company. The real suspicious part is the US hasn't even hinted at what the national security threat is.

Your statement is silly, what would an American company do if China said they had to sell a huge part of their business to a Chinese company? They would promptly tell China to GTFO, exact what ByteDance is doing by not selling.

Given that this was written by a doctor it must be true.

If you blacked out the word drones and Jersey the statement seems like it could be applied to a million topics right now.

The premises of the article is really weak. Russia is still as much a threat to Europe, and therefore the US, as it was when it was known as the USSR

I agree, a Season should only be defined as those games scheduled at the beginning of the year.

I get it from the posters perspective but I agree with 500 words being too long from the readers perspective, I am looking for Cliff Notes here. Link me to the Substack or website for the nuance.
