  • Yep. But this doesn't answer their question. I'm rooting for a Tik Tok CEO vs Meta CEO battle Royale at the inauguration.

  • Because they are distributed by a company that is owned by Bytedance. You know. The people who own Tik Tok.

  • Large businesses literally operate in conflict with the law until the law directly forces consequences, usually in monetary form. So, until they get caught and are forced not to do the thing. Explain to me why this is any different.

  • Sigh. H. R. 7521 stipulates that the POTUS must make the determination using data supplied from several federal agencies etc that an app or service violates the terms laid out in the law. Then a formal investigation will be launched by the AG's office and if that investigation finds that the app or service is in violation of the law that app or service will be added to a list of apps or services not allowed to be disseminated to the public via American based app stores. That app or service does have the right to appeal the decision within a specific time frame and appeals will be handled by the appropriate district court. At that point if they win the appeal they continue to operate. If they lose the appeal they can do what is called a qualified divestiture so that they would no longer be operating in conflict with the law. Or they can do what Tik Tok did and remove access without the law even being enforced.

    So, yes, Trump can just not name Tik Tok as in violation of the law, the AG won't investigate it, and nothing will come of it.

  • Tik Tok removed platform access from their US userbase voluntarily.

    This was their choice.

    The law is literally not even being enforced.

  • They have a point. I'm an elder millennial and I abhor being sent a video. I prefer text based news, and usually don't intentionally click videos. But on the other hand, that's probably more because I have to be in the right setup to watch a video (where I can dedicate my attention to it without disturbing anyone or being disturbed), and so my preference is text.

  • Google begins requiring JavaScript for Google Search

    Jump

  • I know, but I have it set as a custom search engine and what I'm saying is, if someone were to use it in chrome would it still require them to enable java. I think that answer is that it would. I don't use chrome so I'm not gonna test it.

  • Loops is unfortunately not ready for 70 million new users.

  • Doing this to combat bots like they aren't also using bots to scrape data from the internet is interesting.

    I wonder how this affects modified/custom search engines (like udm14).

  • Agreed. I'll fix that. Thank you.

  • You're dealing with what is likely restricted intelligence here. The reason people haven't been backing up claims with proof of interference is because that proof isn't declassified. It isn't hard to understand that. Nobody was particularly up in arms about the potential TP Link ban, and that can be fixed with updated firmware.

    Additionally, two things can be true at once. It can be true that the government took Meta lobby money in exchange for this ban, and true that Tik Tok is a danger to national security. It would not be the first time the government had their cake and ate it too.

  • This was the turn of events anyone who knows anything about China and the CCP (and how closely they control businesses there) would have expected.

  • Third party apps with small users bases or ones that are used by people with disabilities (that have disability features) still work. For now. Also apps that allow for a read only view (meaning they can't be used to sign in, write/post comments, or upvote/downvote) also still work I believe.

  • Sigh. That's a whataboutism argument and I'm over it. You do not have to agree.
