    @jon-nyc Aye Yai Yai!

    @Copper said in Will Tik-Tok Survive?:

    I'm sure that cost a pretty penny.

    And other valuable consideration.

    Exactly. Glad to see that President Trump is willing to stand up to China (and other dictators.)

      Who’s censoring whom?

        SCOTUS: Ban can proceed.

        https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/17/politics/tiktok-ban-supreme-court/index.html


        The Supreme Court ruled Friday that a controversial ban on TikTok may take effect this weekend, rejecting an appeal from the popular app’s owners that claimed the ban violated the First Amendment.

        The court handed down an unsigned opinion and there were no noted dissents.

        The decision, which followed warnings from the Biden administration that the app posed a “grave” national security threat because of its ties to China, will allow the ban to start Sunday. But there are a lot of lingering questions about how the ban would work in practice because there’s no precedent for the US government blocking a major social media platform. And how exactly the government would enforce it remains unclear.

        Americans may lose access to TikTok starting on Sunday, when a sell-or-ban law is set to take effect.

        In its opinion, the Supreme Court acknowledged that for 170 million Americans TikTok offers “a distinctive and expansive outlet for expression, means of engagement, and source of community.”

        But the court said, Congress was focused on national security concerns and that, the court said, was a deciding factor in how it weighed the case.

        “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,” the court wrote.

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          Sloppy ass reporting. There is no ban.

          But implementation is trivial, probably 10s each by an administrator at Apple and another at Google. And a half a minute each at major internet providers.

          Enforcement won't be a problem because there are very few players that need to act and the financial incentives are tremendous.

          Our only concern is if we end up with a president sympathetic to the CCP controlling the main news source of young Americans. But that could never happen. Right? Right??

          You were warned.

              What is TikTok? If it's what I think it is, it will never beat out MySpace.

                      Exactly. And when other apps start trying to be TikTok I use them less and less. YouTube for one.

                          Access your contacts, determine where on your screen you are looking...
