People make their living off of TikTok. Music industry relies on TikTok to promote artists. The only place other than Bluesky and to a certain extent even X where you can get unfiltered news on the Gaza genocide and criticism of the oligarchy and corporations. No wonder it is under attack.
Seems a long time in coming based on FBI FTC and DOJ investigations that say china collects sensitive user data, manipulates and censors content creating a major national security threat. They are no less involved in manipulating Americans than Russia is.
I know there isn't much of a difference, especially now with the ketamine cowboy, but there Is a difference. We can't make it all stop, but we can make this stop. As far as I know musk isn't using data to locate dissidents and disappear them. Still, yes to legislating data privacy protections.
I have no idea why they don’t just block them and move on. The yappers have done nothing but keep me caught up on the stuff I missed while I was watching plant videos.
If you took all 3rd party votes and gave them to Kamala she still would have lost the popular vote by far. This election was a falling 100% on the part of the Democratic Party leadership
Eh last time I checked California was still counting because it takes them weeks. Still not a chance she could have won the electoral votes needed. Also according to the AP 153m voters cast ballots compared to the historic record of 158m in 2020 so realistically 5m stayed home the others never vote.
And they stayed home because dems gave them nothing to vote, as they were too busy trying to win over imaginary centrists who were never going to vote for them.
Also not to be a reply guy, but I think it’s safe to say those 750k Kennedy voters were never going to check the box for Kamala. Maybe in another world the Jill Stein ones would have and 1/2 of the other 3rd party votes would have, which again not even close.
Its not Joe’s policy, its our government’s policy that has been in place for decades. Isreal and the US have been in each other’s pockets since before the beginning of Israel’s genocide on Palestine 75+ years ago. This isn’t a new thing one of our recent presidents did.

Either legislate real data privacy protections for all Americans or don't. But thinking TikTok is a "special" case is fallacious.
then just rebrand the company and get all the government plants out, lol
Trump v Harris =
77,237,942 - 74,946,837 = 2,291,105.
Harris + everyone else =
74,946,837 + 782,243 + 755,131 + 640,903 + 388,712 = 77,513,826
Which would make Harris the winner.
Trump didn't have a "big win." There is no mandate or red wave.
