If Biden/the democrats really thought, like REALLY thought that trump was an existential threat to american democracy that should have been worth risking everything for, even if it required radical steps that might permanently alter what our grand bargain of a governance is.

facialimpediment posted:ByteDance's appeal to the Supreme Court really, really, really didn't go well for them. A 9-0 ruling against them is seriously on the table, just because of the court's deference to the national security argument made in the law banning it. I got this right! Per curiam, 9-0 opinion. (edit: you know you're hosed when they're per curiaming that poo poo) https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/17/supreme-court-rules-to-uphold-tiktok-ban.html quote:“There is no doubt that, for more than 170 million Americans, TikTok offers a distinctive and expansive outlet for expression, means of engagement, and source of community,” the Supreme Court’s opinion said. “But Congress has determined that divestiture is necessary to address its well-supported national security concerns regarding TikTok’s data collection practices and relationship with a foreign adversary.” A key bit is that Donnie can only do so much about it with selective unenforcement: quote:Under the terms of the law, third-party internet service providers like Apple and Google will be penalized for supporting a ByteDance-owned TikTok after the Jan. 19 deadline. So we'll see if ByteDance sells and/or lots of people start getting social media detoxification shakes. facialimpediment fucked around with this message at 16:48 on Jan 17, 2025 |

Maybe I'd be more concerned with my data if every single personal detail of mine hadn't been let out in that massive OPM breach a few years back. Zuck and the other techlord billionaires that are the real pressure on this can gently caress right off.

The damage that objective PII and such that the OPM breach contains is pretty well quantified and understood. We have protections in place, weak as they may be, against people impersonating you or stealing your bank account. The personal details of who you follow, what sort of videos you watch, your music tastes, who you PM, the contents of your PMs, who you send videos and memes too (This tracks even if you don't send it through the app itself fyi, that's what the little ? code at the end of stuff like youtube links helps with) - those details build up a very very invasive graph of "public" info that is suddenly dangerous when its ingested into a big data archive with everyone elses - and I think any of us can sort of understand the edges of that risk assessment in a way that people who aren't posting on a dead gay comedy forum don't ever consider.

I'd guess it's because letting future Chinese social media companies bear the financial risks of developing the next big thing is great for America's tech sector if they can force a sale or ban them after developing an identical product. I don't know actually anything about the lawsuit though, just making a cynical guess

If you can run against "migrant crime" and win south Texas Latinos, you have destroyed the left's immigrant rights coalition. I'm betting this ages like the Iraq War vote - well we didn't know the racist administration would be THAT racist about enforcement of what we voted for!!! Tiny Timbs posted:I'm still thoroughly confused about why this isn't expected to trigger a wholesale ban of Chinese social media apps as a rule, as they all have identical relationships to the Chinese government. TikTok is popular and the banning bill was entirely about TikTok alone, basically. Doesn't matter that RedNote or whatever has the same setup - the bill was about TikTok because TikTok is popular.

The framing of it as being in the national interest when it’s purely about numbers feels like when my state was voting on privatizing liquor sales. Ads against it showed concerned looking firefighters worried about kids, but spending was 100% on one side retail stores wanting more business, and the other side was beer companies as liquor in grocery stores dings their sales.
